EVC Refund Policy

Element Volleyball Club operates on a tight budget without any leeway for refunds. We purposely budget team and program fees with little or no margin in order to keep player fees as low as possible. Further, the Club is a non-profit organization. Funds used to provide programs are sourced primarily from club/program fees paid by athletes.

For each team or training program, we calculate the cost of tournament entry fees, uniforms, gym rentals, coaching costs, equipment and administrative costs. Once we add up the total costs for the team or program, we divide that cost by the number of players that join the team or are expected to join the program.

Once a player commits to a program or team season, it is assumed that the player will complete the season. Because we are a volunteer run, not for profit organization, if a player withdraws, we are unable to give a refund because it would put the financial burden on the remaining members of the team. The money collected for fees has already been spent as described above.

Travel

Travel Tournaments costs for are shared between all team players. Should a player not be able to attend, no shared team costs will be refunded to individual players (except for air fare as per airline refund policies or in extenuating circumstances which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis). We will always make efforts to refund any individual costs (flights, portion of hotel, etc.) but this is not a guarantee.

Injuries

If a player is injured prior to the beginning of a club season or commencement of a program and wishes to withdraw from the team or program, a refund may be granted if that spot can be filled by another suitable player. Each situation will be handled on an individual basis.

Thank you for understanding and for supporting our volleyball club.
