The intent of this policy is to provide structure to the process of reimbursing head coaches and their coaching staff for expenses incurred while traveling as a result of a team tournament. This applies only in the case of non-parent coaches, assistants and trainers. No travel reimbursement will be paid by House League teams to parent coaches, assistants and/or trainers.
All tournament plans and associated expenses are to be agreed upon by both the coaching staff and the team parents/guardians at the beginning of the season. These expenses must be included in the preliminary team budget presented to parents and submitted to the NMHA.
