Travel / Rec Season Cancellations Refund Policy Master Thread

[Anonymous]

I received an email today that we are going to online play for now . No refunds. Kids will be sent lessons via social media/email.

Maybe we will have a virtual league this spring...

Why are you assuming the tournaments refunded the clubs? How do you know your club and team won't add tournaments at year end? Why don't we relax until we know what's going to happen? Nothing can or will happen on this front until then.

You need to chill. People are going to lose their jobs, their investment savings, etc. every little bit counts. So I don’t need Tommy Park from Alexandria Soccer or any other programs director pocketing extra money when it either should be going to the coaches or back to the families.

If the club is NOT paying the coaches with the fees I paid, I want my money back. Kick rocks with your excuses or pay the coaches.

I'll save the chillpill for you there, cupcake.

Sounds a lot like kicking the ball around in the back yard and playing FUT. I'm sure someone will be able to tier that into divisions and sell it back to us for an elite experience.

We’ve been letting Tommy pocket ridiculous amounts of money for years. Why should we change that? Obviously the board thinks his needs outweigh those of the community.

Pipeline set all the kids up with a soccer training app last week. They can compete with others on their team and in the club on certain timed drills. Our coach sends emails every few days giving shout outs to the kids who have logged the most time on it.

They are also not collecting the last monthly payment for this year. Those who paid in full already get a credit towards next year.

Coaches should not get paid during this time. Plenty of others are not being paid. Give us our money back!

Xbox fifa competition with video coaching. Only $2000 to have your kid enter.

Clubs that are nonprofits can now apply for SBA loans at 2.75% interest rate repayable up to a term of 30 years

So Clubs have an ability to do a lot of things if they act smart and respnsibly

I love that fact that this guy Tommy Park is so under your skin that you bring him up in a forum topic entirely unrelated to the guy and yet somehow you manage to bring him into it. Who cares how much money he makes especially at a time like this. Get a life

The hysteria in some of these soccer threads is always bizarre.

Hopefully the clubs can come up with some compromise - maybe a partial credit or something - given everything that is going on so long as the clubs at least pay their staff we can suck it up and forget about the lost season but as others have pointed out the clubs are saving some real money on expenses they won't be incurring so some money back or as a future credit is a reasonable expectation.

But in this entire thread there is only one mention of insurance - surely some clubs have insurance that might cover this?

Maybe Tommy can use some of that $350K/year to pay for the coaches actually doing the work?

Most of all business interruption insurance has a pandemic clause/exception. So insurance won’t work.
