What is your Refund Policy?

The tuition is non-refundable. Tuition will not be prorated for time off as it is factored into the tuition. If you decide to leave the year round team program, you must notify us within 14 business days written notice otherwise you have made the commitment for the entire season. There will be no deductions or credits for missed practice days as athletes are required to attend every practice. We do not offer a refund for the Annual Membership Fee.
Annapolis Select FC has a stringent refund policy because a player’s acceptance has the effect of denying another player an opportunity to play on a team. Additionally, costs accrue to the Club for services provided to the team based on player headcount. Accordingly, fees are not refundable and not transferable. Fees for participation in the club cover the entire soccer year. A player who accepts an invitation to play with the Club commits to pay the entire fee for the full soccer year. No refunds, partial or full, will be made to players who choose not to participate at any point after registration for any reason, including players suspended from the program. The only exceptions are (1) In the event that a player has a season ending injury, the club may consider a partial credit after review of records provided by the treating physician or facility and (2) For families that move during the season. The club may consider a partial refund in these circumstances on a case by case basis.

ID CLINICS, CAMPS AND ALL OTHER PROGRAMS
Fees are not refundable and not transferable. Your registration is a commitment to participate.

MEDICAL AND RELOCATION REFUND REQUESTS

If a player is injured during the season and cannot play or practice for the remainder of the season, the club may consider providing a partial credit. Families must submit a written request with a physician note to the Club Administrator
If a family relocates out of the area during the season the Board may consider a partial refund on a case-by-case basis. Families must submit a written request to the Club Administrator

Please note that refundable amounts are time sensitive as costs accrue to the Club for services provided to the team based on player headcount each month. Consequently, the refundable amount will be affected by the date you request the refund, not the date of the event.
