Program Safety:

For the safety of all children with allergies, no food can be brought to any Sportball location. Nut-free snacks are only permitted at our Camps.
If your child requires special assistance due to an allergy, written permission and clear directions are required by the parent/guardian.
Sportball programs run in the RAIN & HEAT. The decision to cancel will only be made at the field with your coach if conditions are unsafe to play
In the case of wild fire smoke we may issue a cancellation notice if the air quality is deemed unsafe to run our programs.

Refund Policy:

For an Indoor or Outdoor in PERSON program, refunds apply when a de-registration is requested in writing 4 weeks prior to the start of any season.
A $25.00 administration fee will be applied to each session withdrawn by the registrant. Any camp (or clinic) week or day is regarded as one session.
For a Private, a Virtual Live or Pre-Recorded Program, refunds are not offered
Refunds will not be offered if programs are cancelled or delayed due to a pandemic, however, a credit will be applied to your Account which never expires and can be used towards the purchase of any program.
Should Sportball find it necessary to de-register a child, a refund will be issued after deduction for classes already attended.

Make-Up Classes & Cancellations:

Make-up classes or refunds are not offered if Sportball cancels the class due to extreme or unsafe weather conditions.
For Outdoor programs, our coaches are on the field and run rain or shine. In the case of severe weather conditions (i.e. lightning, high winds etc.), Coaches will decide if it is safe to run at the time of your program.
Sportball reserves the right to cancel any program due to insufficient enrollment. Upon cancellation, a full refund will be made within 10 business days. In the event of a program cancellation, our office will contact you within the week prior to your program start date.

It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that all necessary emergency information (i.e. medical and/or additional needs) has been disclosed. We encourage parents to speak with Coaches on the first day of the program.
If you have a credit on Account, this can be used towards the purchase of any in person program
PLEASE NOTE: N.S.F. cheques are subject to a $25.00 service charge.
