Payment Policy – All Programs

The full payment amount is due at the time of registration. For all Travel programs payment is due at the time of accepting the offer after try-out(s).

As an exception to this rule Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball can, at its own discretion, may offer payment installments to program players’ families in good standing with the League. A family in good standing has no open account and has made their payments on time for all their children involved in any of the League’s programs. Families not in good standing (e.g. families who have an open account balance, even for a different child, or families who have a track record of making their payments late) will not receive a payment installment plan and will have to make the full payment upon registering for a Travel program. By accepting a payment plan, the family commits to making all payments scheduled in the payment plan for the full program. In the event that a player on a payment plan leaves the League during the season (outside of the acceptable refund reasons listed above), all previous and upcoming payments will still be due.

Refund Policy – All Programs

To request a refund a written email should be sent to Cheshire Youth Baseball President with a detailed explanation for the request. After the request has been received the League will review and decide whether to move forward with the refund and how much of the cost will be refunded.

Refunds (full or prorated) will be accepted in the following cases:

• An injury that prevents a player playing for the remainder of the season.
• Family moving out of the Cheshire League boundary.
• League division not being able to field a team due to lack of registrations.
• Refund requested within 5 calendar days of registration.

NO refund will be given in the following cases (this is not an exhaustive list):

• A guardian or player is unhappy with team assignment / coach assignment / other players’ commitment / other parents’ behaviors / child’s playing time / child’s position on the field / child’s team not winning enough games /
• Player transferring to a different League/Club during the season.
• Practice / game cancellations (e.g. due to weather or to town’s field management decisions).
• Scheduling conflicts with the player’s other sports / activities.
• Change of mind more than 5 calendar days after registration.
• …

All refunds, partial or full, will be charged a $25 administrative fee.

As an exception to the rules above, a 75% refund will be given for recreational league players who cancel their registration prior to the beginning of the season, even if the cancellation is more than 5 calendar days after initial registration. This exception applies only to the recreational league program, not to the Travel (Comets or Reds) programs. In line with the policy outlined above, this refund will not be given once the recreational season Player Evaluation process has started.

In the event that a player is medically unable to participate in the league he/she had registered for, a note from a doctor on letterhead indicating that the participant cannot participate for the remaining schedule period is required.

In season refunds shall be prorated contingent on how much of the season has passed as well as the reason for the refund. The amount will be refunded to the credit card that was used to make the registration payment, less any transaction fees. If the credit has expired and is no longer valid at the time of the refund you will NOT receive a refund.

Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball will not give refunds or offer prorated fees for missed practices or games due to an accepted participant’s late registering for any program.

Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball reserves the right to unilaterally cancel a player's registration if the player and/or parent blatantly and/or repeatedly behaves contrary to the League's core values. No refund will be given.

Cheshire Youth Baseball and Softball reserves the right to waive this Refund Policy at its sole discretion at any time. Such waiver shall generally be in response to extenuating or highly unusual circumstances, and in no event shall the Board be obligated to waive this Refund Policy.
