Apple Valley Little League – Refund Policy

All requests for cancellation must be submitted via email to the League Treasurer at [email protected]. Within the written request, the following information must be provided to ensure timely action is taken:

1.      Player name(s) and division

2.      Parent name on the account

3.      Whether a refund or credit towards a future season of play is desired

The following cancellation and refund policies will be applied based on the date cancellation email was sent to the League Treasurer:

1.      POLICY FOR CANCELLING PLAYER REGISTRATION BEFORE REGISTRATION PERIOD ENDS:

When a request for cancellation is made PRIOR to the end date of a given registration period, a full refund, or credit (minus the $3.00 service fee charged by SportsConnect to process the original payment) towards a future season of play, will be granted.

2.      POLICY FOR CANCELLING PLAYER REGISTRATION AFTER REGISTRATION PERIOD ENDS, BUT BEFORE DRAFT SELCTION OCCURS:

When a request for cancellation is made AFTER the end date of a given registration period, an 80% refund, or credit (minus the $3.00 service fee charged by SportsConnect to process the original payment) towards a future season of play, will be granted.

3.      POLICY FOR CANCELLING PLAYER REGISTRATION AFTER DRAFT SELECTION OCCURS, BUT BEFORE FIRST PRACTICE OF SEASON:

When a request for cancellation is made AFTER the completion of drafting players to teams AND before the first practice of a given season, a 40% refund, or credit (minus the $3.00 service fee charged by SportsConnect to process the original payment) towards a future season of play, will be granted.

4.      POLICY FOR CANCELLING PLAYER REGISTRATION AFTER DRAFT SELECTION OCCURS AND PRACTICES HAVE STARTED:

When a request for cancellation is made AFTER the completion of drafting players to teams AND AFTER the first practice of a given season, no refund or credit will be granted.

5.      CANCELLATION OF SEASON        

A season of play is considered 12 games scheduled and played per division for Leagues chartered by Little League International (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 that are uncontrollable by Apple Valley Little League. 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 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 given season, a 25% refund will be provided in the form of a credit towards a future season of play.

If more than 4 games 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.
