We are happy to collaborate with families in the event payment cannot be made by the deadline, as long as communication is immediate and in advance of the deadline so alternate arrangements may be considered. A $25 late fee will be assessed for any payment made after the scheduled payment date.

We have a no refund policy. Medical exceptions will be considered upon submission of official medical written documentation. In the case of injury and approved documentation, we will refund minus any processing fees and player fees we have incurred to that point.

TOURNAMENTS

In order to provide an overall balanced experience, we attend both local and out-of-state events as part of our program. This allows for a variety of competition, caliber of play, bonding experiences, recruiting exposure, and offers a cost spectrum to accommodate participants and their families. Program registration for events is happening up to ten months prior. Families must select which events they commit to attending upon registering. Any cancellation of a previous commitment results in remaining responsible for the entire player cost for that event.

TOURNAMENT FEES

Tournament entry fees are included in tuition. Hotel rooms, meals, rental cars/vans, transportation to and from the event, transportation while at the event, nor uniforms. Any cancellation of a previous commitment results in remaining responsible for the entire player cost for that event.In the event a payment cannot be made by the scheduled payment deadline, alternate payment plans can be made on an individual basis with prior notice. Please contact us to make arrangements.

TRAVEL

As far as local events/tournaments, if families want to stay closer to the venue to eliminate or reduce travel, they may make their own housing arrangements barring there are no rules, set policies, nor specific hotels stipulated by the tournament director or staff. We will share any requirements each tournament has with regards to lodging or direct you to their website for details. Players and families are responsible for arriving at the event site by the designated time provided by the coaching staff.

For events/tournaments requiring airfare travel, we will research and provide an option for group airfare tickets when applicable. Otherwise, families are welcome to book their daughter(s) on the same flight as the coaching staff or on a flight that arrives within a reasonable time frame of the staff/team so travel to the hotel is consolidated. Parents are neither required to attend tournaments nor travel with their daughters. There is no additional fee to have players travel with the staff.

Once at our destination, ground transportation will be provided by staff and/or parents to and from the hotel, airport, field, meals, activities, etc. In the event, players and/or families would prefer to be transported by a specific party, this needs to be communicated ahead of time so appropriate arrangements may be made if possible.

Hotel room blocks for players will be reserved and booked by us when required. All players room together (4 per room, 2 per bed/pullout) and the staff creates rooming lists (no rooming requests). In the event additional rooms are available, they will be released to the families on a first come first serve basis and payment will be made payable to and collected by STICK WITH IT!
