* HPHL asks all teams to comply with IRS regulations. You can find information on our IRS Compliance page. Obtaining 501 c 3 or 7 status is a one time event. Once that has been done, teams need to complete a yearly 990N online report in order to maintain IRS compliance.
You can find everything you need to know about credentials on the credential page.
Other useful documents and forms are below.
Scorekeeping Information
Detailed scorekeeping information can be found on the scorekeeper pages. Managers should direct their scorekeepers to familiarize themselves with all of the information there.
Below is a downloadable blank scoresheet. Player names need to be written in if using this version.
Security
HPHL will pay for security on an as needed basis. Team managers or Club Coordinators can request approval for security at select games from their Division Directors. Once approved, the team can schedule a security officer. See below for security officer job expectations.
Please plan ahead as it takes about 2 weeks to schedule a security officer.
