Travel Refund Policy
2009-2010
Team Fees
A team budget covers league fees, tournaments, training, coaching fees, etc. Team fundraisers and donations become part of the team’s total budget. A team budget is determined by adding up all of the costs for the season and dividing by the number of players on the team. Players and parents are expected to fulfill their commitment to the team. Any money remaining in the budget at the end of the season will be used to offset the cost of the team’s budget the following season. There are NO refunds for a player who chooses to leave a team before, during or at the end of the season. There are NO refunds for money earned via fundraising (from sponsors, field lining programs, etc.).

Any refund request for the Loudoun Soccer registration fee must be made in writing to the VP of Travel and the Travel Director of Coaching and must be submitted three (3) weeks prior the first league game in the Fall or before the first Winter indoor training session for the Spring to be considered (see the specific dates below for the 2009-2010 soccer year).
