Celtics Soccer Club Refund Policy

At Celtics Soccer Club, we carefully plan our teams, coaching staff, field rentals, and programming based on player registrations. Due to these commitments, we have a strict no refund policy once a player has registered for the season.

Policy Details:

  1. No Refunds After Registration: Once a player registers for the season, all fees are non-refundable, regardless of circumstances, including but not limited to injuries, team placement, scheduling conflicts, or changes in personal circumstances.
  2. Full Payment Requirement: All accounts must be paid in full as per the agreed-upon payment schedule. Failure to meet payment obligations may result in the suspension of a player's participation until the balance is cleared.
  3. Exceptional Circumstances: In rare and exceptional cases (e.g., season-ending injury before the start of the season, relocation out of state), a partial credit toward future programming may be considered at the club’s discretion. Requests must be submitted in writing and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
  4. Deposits: Any fees associated with deposits are non-refundable, as they cover administrative costs and operational expenses.

By registering, families acknowledge and agree to this policy. If you have any questions, please contact Elli Stanford at estanford@theceltics.org before completing registration.
