Travel / Rec Season Cancellations Refund Policy Master Thread

[Anonymous]

I dont have a problem not getting a refund to keep paying the coaches, but I thought part of the fee was for tournaments, which have been cancelled. I would like to get that portion refunded.


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.

You can definitely raise the issue of refunds for tournaments, but even assuming that the tournaments refunded them, they only cost around $775 each per team. If your team has 3 tournaments and 14 players, that will only get you about $160. While that's certainly not nothing, it's also not a significant component of the $1100 or so payment per season.

I think more than a few clubs will go out of business. You can’t get blood form a stone.

unless that tourney included a bus or plane and hotel rooms (food etc) LOTS more then 160 per player.

SYC just send a notice regarding providing partial refunds, applying funds to next year/next season or donating your fees to SYC. Travel Soccer was going to be handled separately. What I like is that they atleast acknowledge the need and provided a response.

A lot of this will depend on what leagues decide, and leagues keep pushing out their decisions on what to do and when.

Our $2K per year doesn't cover any individual travel or hotel costs. Families pay that separately. Covers the coachs'.

It looks like they aren’t planning on refunding for travel soccer.

For SYC? Not even partial or apply to next season etc?

Instead of refunds, I can see clubs applying credits towards the next season. This would not be good to some if they are planning to join another club.
