The Farm System has set the following guidelines on refunds:

• To request a refund for any program, participants must fill out a Refund Request Form. This will then be reviewed where a decision will be made as to whether to move forward with the refund and how much of the cost will be refunded.
• Refunds will be considered and assessed for the following reasons
  • Injury
  • Moving
    • Proof of injury and moving will be need to consider the refund

• Refunds will not be assessed due to the following:
  • Team assignment
  • If a child is removed from the program for behavior rules violations, no credits or refunds will be issued
  • “NO SHOWS” will be charged the full amount for any event not attended without a 24-Hour cancellation notice. A “no show” is defined as a moment when a member/athlete has a scheduled time for an “event” and does not show up for that event.  If the member/athlete has prepaid for a package of lessons or rentals, the “no show” will count against the remaining number of lessons or rentals.

• Requests made less than 3 days before program start date will receive a half the amount back or a credit.
• Requests made 4 or more days before program start date receive a full refund or credit.
• Requests made after program start date will only be refunded a prorated portion of the fee for medical, relocation or military reasons.
• If the initial registration was paid for by credit card, the refund will be processed back to that same credit card.
• If initial registration was paid by cash or check, a check will be issued to the member information on record.
• If initial registration was paid by a credit, the same credit will be placed on the account.
• Credit can be added to a member’s account and be applied to next season of league play, memberships, clinics, camps, and/or lessons. Zero credit can be applied towards rentals, and/or merchandise.

Refund Policy for Merchandise: No refunds on anything after 30 days and with no receipt. If an item is damaged, return will NOT be accepted.
