Refund Policy
Stateline Youth Athletics is a non-profit organization that has always taken great
care to produce a high quality youth baseball and softball program at an affordable cost to
our families.
Considerable time and effort goes into the planning and execution of the
SYA Baseball and Softball season. This process begins in January of each year, over three
months before a single practice takes place for any teams. Included in the
process is budgeting for equipment, fields, umpires, uniforms, and
administrative costs. Because of the hundreds of kids playing baseball and
softball in the
Stateline area, and thus the need to provide our vendors with our requirements for
the upcoming season well in advance, many of these costs must not only be
budgeted, but also expended long before the season begins.
It is because of our considerable care in providing the best program for the
best cost that we maintain a refund policy. Our planning and expenditure system
is based on the fact that once skills assessments have been conducted for your child's
division (ages 9-16) or your child is placed on a team (ages 4-8), we consider
it a commitment on your part that your child will stay in the program for the
entire season. We purchase equipment and uniforms based on
our registration numbers in late March. If you withdraw after late March,
it forces us to absorb the costs that we have already incurred for your child to
participate in our league.
Regular Season
Based on these requirements, we set a date each year after which we are not
able to provide a refund. For the
2008 season, that date is
- March 16 for ages 9-16
- April 13 for ages 4-8
Please notify the Registrar via
email of your cancellation by those dates. We realize that there are
sometimes extenuating circumstances, and we'll be happy to discuss those with
you should you feel that you fall into that category. Otherwise, we hope that
you'll understand and respect our policy.
