In the event you believe there are mitigating factors which the White Township Youth Athletic Association should consider, you have the right to request an appearance before the WTYAA Board to explain why you believe an exception should be made or why the policy should not be applied to you.
To do so, you will need to submit a letter to the WTYAA Board requesting such an appearance, which outlines your position. All appeal decisions by the WTYAA Board are final.
