FAQs

What does a season cost?

Fees are set per team each season. Every player also takes part in at least one team fundraiser.

How do we get the schedule?

Registered families receive Google Calendar invites for each game and RSVP there.

What happens after an injury?

RAHA follows a three-tier injury process. A concussion needs written clearance from a licensed provider before return.

Do families volunteer?

Most families help a few times a season. See the roles, then email operations@rahapanthers.org to sign up.
