REFUND POLICY AVLL

At Apple Valley LL we understand there may be circumstances where you need to pull your players from a season after you registered them. The following refund policy will provide guidance on what the league will refund you based on various circumstances.

CANCELING REGISTRATION PRIOR TO END OF REGISTRATION PERIOD

A full refund will be provided to you, no questions asked!

CANCELING REGISTRATION BEFORE DRAFT SELECTION

At this stage of the season preparation, our league has counted your player(s) as part of potential player numbers and team numbers. Whilst no uniforms have been ordered yet, a significant amount of time has been used by the league to prepare for assessments and draft. If you write in before drafting takes place you will receive an 80% refund. If you decide to use it as credit into next season there will be a $10 transaction fee taken off.

CANCELING REGISTRATION AFTER DRAFT SELECTION

When parents decide to cancel registration after drafts it places a heavy burden on league board members who have already placed uniform orders, assigned a team and schedule, plus a burden for the team manager who was expecting your player to be on their team roster. You will receive the following refund based on the criteria below:

·         Before first practice – 40%

·         After first practice – No refund

Some parents decide that their player should be placed on a different team for whatever reason and goes against the spirit of Little League’s recreational league selection procedures. If a parent is unwilling to let their child be on the team assigned to them, or a request isn’t honored, or there is a scheduling conflict, they will need to pay a new registration fee and most likely have their child without a team uniform shirt until it is ready.

CANCELLATION OF SEASON        

A season of play is considered 12 games scheduled per division for a Little League Chartered league to be complying (excludes T-ball - no more than 12 for T-ball). AVLL usually schedules around 16 games in upper divisions. There are circumstances which reduce and/or prevent a full season in being played. These include:

·         Weather cancelations

·         Health Advisory (epidemic, pandemic etc.) where local authorities prevent us playing

·         Town of Apple Valley – May require fields for other functions or field maintenance

·         Some other circumstance where our fields become unplayable (e.g., floods, earthquake)

·         Martial Law enacted

·         Any other emergency or black swan event requiring adherence to local, state, or federal government directives

In all the above examples and those we can’t think of, if 1 to 4 games have been played in a season, a 25% refund will be provided as a credit to a future season.

If more than 4 weeks have been played, then no refunds or credits shall be provided.

This refund policy has been approved by the Board of Apple Valley Little League as of December 5, 2022 and is in force in perpetuity. By registering your player(s) you are bound by this refund policy.

You may make an appeal to the Board, but we will most likely refer you to this refund policy for your answer.
