POLICY 5 – REFUNDS

Reviewed by Neepawa Baseball-Softball Association on March 1, 2021 and approved.

​

Overview

Neepawa Baseball-Softball Association (hereinafter referred to as NBSA) has found it necessary to implement a registration cancellation policy.  The policy is intended to fairly deal with extenuating circumstances, while at the same time underscore the need for the commitment to the game and in particular to team mates once the season begins.  In order to withdraw a player from the program the parent/guardian of a player (hereafter referred to as the player) must submit a letter to the President stating the reason for the request.

NBSA will only consider a request to withdraw a player from the program for the following reasons:

• Job transfer to another town or city.

• The new residence of the player must be outside of the registration boundaries of NBSA

• Medical reasons. Must be accompanied by a doctor’s certificate.
   

Request for Refunds:

Requests for player withdrawal received prior to March 15th will be reimbursed. 

Requests for player withdrawal received after March 15th and prior to season start may be eligible for a refund of fifty percent (50%) of the non-discounted basic registration fee, subject to board approval. 

Requests for player withdrawal received after the start of the season are not eligible for any refund.

**Any league fees (Mid-West or Westman Softball) are not eligible for refund once roster submission deadline dates have passed.**

League cancellations due to COVID-19:
If the season is shut down prematurely by a public health order from the Province of Manitoba or Government of Canada, due to
COVID-19, all uniform deposit and bond fees will be fully refunded.
Registration fees will be refunded based upon the amount of weeks that were eligible for team play less a $25 administration fee (to cover non refundable Mid-West and Westman Softball fees). Refunds will not be issued on a per person attendance basis, however, based on the number of eligible weeks of play per team.
Ex. League starts May 3 and is shut down June 7. There were 5 weeks of eligible play with 4 weeks remaining in the season. You will be refunded for 4 weeks less the $25 administration fee.
Fundraising fees are not refundable as fundraising will continue whether play is cancelled or not, in a safe and compliant manner.
