Fees & Refund Policy

Payments & Fees

There are four components that comprise the registration payment amount, and a separate post season fee for All Stars (usually collected post the All-Star tryouts). These items are defined below:

Registration Fees

The registration fees are set at the beginning of the year based upon the projected number of players and expenses to run the program for one season.

Merchandise

During the registration process, the Program collects sizing information for jerseys that are included with the registration fee. In addition, it offers the parents the opportunity to purchase additional merchandise such as uniform shorts, shooting shirts and t-shirts. We order the additional merchandise at the same time as the uniforms.

Volunteer Opt-Out Fee

Managing a program with over 700 players takes a large number of volunteers. Every family is expected to volunteer for at least four hours during the season. This fee is collected up front during registration. For families that volunteer these four hours of time a refund of the volunteer fee collected at registration will be processed.

Donations

In order to keep fees as low as possible, FYB accepts donations. FYB Foothill has filed for a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation determination and the donation may not be tax deductible until such time as this determination is made.

We are currently not enrolled in corporate matching this year as the transition of our 501(c)3 status is still pending. We fully expect to be able to offer corporate matching next year.

Additional Programs

During the season, we will be offering two additional programs that are formed by players who are invited to it. There will be additional fees to these programs.

Division Elite Group

The Division Elite Group provides an opportunity for some of our more skilled players with extra practices and games against competitive teams in the area. This group will be formed in Jan/Feb. Players from the division teams will be voted by the coaches and invited to participate in this program. There will be an additional fee to cover the additional costs involved with Gym and tournament fees. This fee is not collected at the time of registration.

All Star Fees

All-Star fees are determined and are due from players that are selected to participate in post season All-Star tournaments. This fee is not collected at the time of registration.

Refund Schedule

The refund amount is based upon the timing of the refund request. There are three different times during registration and team formation when the cost to the league increases. These times impact the amount of money refunded to the family requesting the refund.

After evaluations

For players who do not make the league, the registration fees will be refunded less $25. Donations may be refunded if explicitly requested.

Prior to the Draft

Registration, Merchandise and Volunteer Opt-Out fees will be refunded less $25. Donations may be refunded if explicitly requested.

After the Draft and Before the 1st Game

50% of Registration and Volunteer Opt-Out fees will be refunded. Merchandise fees will not be refunded. Donations may be refunded if explicitly requested.

After First Game

No refunds are issued after the first game.

Refund Table

Families dropping out after the draft must contact the Uniform Coordinator to arrange a merchandise pick-up. Items not picked up by December 15 will be considered a donation.

If a player pays in full but does not attend evaluations, they are not eligible for the draft and will receive a refund less $25 by November 1.

Players on the waitlist as of December 15 will receive a full refund unless requested earlier.

If registration information is falsified, no refund will be issued and expulsion may occur.

Refunds are credited to the card used. In rare cases, a check will be mailed to the home address on file.
