If you have been deemed ineligible, then you have the three following options:

1. You can simply notify the background check company that you are withdrawing your application.   
2. If you disagree with the accuracy of the information and data that has been acquired by the background check company, then you can appeal and challenge that information by communicating with the background check company directly. They will diligently attempt to research or rectify any mistakes that might have occurred during their initial review.
3. You can concede that the information is accurate but you would like the Mighty Mites review committee to consider giving you a waiver. The review committee consists of three board members who will discuss and consider making an exception. Their decision will be final. You will need to email an explanation to the review committee as to why you think you should be given a waiver. If you would like to exercise this option and want your determination to be reviewed then please send your email to mail@mightymitesfootball.org.
