Refund Policy

Overview of the Refund Policy

The Club’s refund policy outlines the circumstances under which registration fee refunds may be granted. It is important for both parents and players to understand that the club incurs non-refundable expenses for each registered player. These expenses include payments for county affiliations, league participation, facility usage, social media activity, kit, equipment, registration, deregistration and other related costs. Many of these costs are committed prior to registration and the start of the season.
