Late registration begins on July 1 however, we anticipate selling out early. Any registration and or payment received after July 1st  will only be placed on a roster if space is available.  Once we reach capacity we will move late registers and unpaid registrants to a waitlist. After the deadline Hawks assesses a late fee of an additional $50 per child. Players registering late are only placed on a team if space is available. Registrations must be paid in full to be placed on a roster. Registration without a payment does not "hold" a spot on any roster
