Coach/Team Expense Reimbursement Guidelines
as of 9/26/22

SHFC anticipates that from time to time it may provide reimbursement to appropriate/approved expenses incurred for the benefit of our club teams.

The following guidelines generally outline appropriate and inappropriate expenses, but the Board reserves the right to deny reimbursement for any expense it believes, at its sole discretion, is inappropriate or otherwise could reflect poorly upon SHFC and not in accordance with its mission and/or purpose.
