PAYMENT TERMS, PAY IN FULL & NO REFUND POLICY 

I agree to paying the full portion of the full amount, of the total invoice amount, and associated transaction and processing fees  shown in this registration process, for West Side Alliance Soccer Club for the seasonal year (May 1 of this year, through July 31 of the following year).  

If I choose an installment payment plan, I understand I must pay the invoice in full, the totality of all installments due on the invoice, in timely payments, as outlined in this registration process.  I understand the due dates of the monthly installments of this invoice.  Further, I acknowledge I am agreeing in this registration process that I will pay the invoice to a zero dollar balance due, without refund or exception, in the timeline listed. 

This payment to WSA Soccer, is a Membership Fee and an Annual Registration Fee.  The fee will (as of 2025) include the full uniform kit package for the program my child participates in.  There will be NO FURTHER expense for uniforms required by the club.

FURTHER UNDERSTANDING
I understand I am entering a financial commitment to pay in full, even if I or my child may choose to no longer participate at any point during the seasonal year.  All payments will be auto-drafted, under my authorization, and are understood to be non refundable and that there is no forgiveness of future payments on this invoice.  I also understand WSA Soccer reserves the right to employ necessary collection steps should any of my payment mediums (debit card, credit cards, bank drafts) prove faulty.  Should I at any time believe that WSA Soccer is not fulfilling a commitment on my behalf I will report this to the club leadership (directors, WSA Board, coordinators) of the program, and will enter into a process to remedy the situation.  I understand this process is outlined in the WSA Amendments to Club Bylaws (WSA Policy & Procedures).  As challenges in competitive team sports are expected to arise on occasion I am committed to a solution-oriented approach, and recognize such challenges do not constitute reason for refund, or non-payment. 

TEAM FEES
I also understand my team fees, presented by my team coach will also become my responsibility. I understand it is my responsibility to review the team fees expectation with my team leadership.  These team fees may include associated league, tournament, referee and coach travel expenses that are shared by members of the team.  The WSA Website provides proximate "team fees" expectations and I have reviewed this information. 

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
I understand that deferred or reduced payment options via WSA's Financial Assistance Process, are available, with the only condition of "need-based" evaluation, and fulfilling my commitment to the team and club as defined by the “Each Other Covenant Commitment”.   

Financial assistance can be requested per WSA's Financial Assistance process, and my billing/invoicing will be changed once that approval process is complete (I must still complete this form and pay the "initial fee").  

WSA 100% PAYMENT POLICY & TEAM FORMATION POLICY CONTEXT 

WSA competitive team formation takes place during a window of time when many other clubs are also holding tryouts and making team formation decisions. This is a competitive program and there are normally more players seeking a place on rosters than there are available roster spots. Therefore, the team formation process may require that we decline to offer some players a roster spot. The moment a player accepts an offer, and registers to a roster, WSA incurs certain sunk costs, including coach pay on behalf of the player and the forming WSA team, which are not recoverable by the club.  Therefore, all fees must be paid in full by the end of the year.

After registration, families who wish to remove a player from the program, after exhausting the processes available for remedy through WSA's Policies and Procedures, are still obligated to pay the balance due on their invoice of their full financial commitment. In the event that a player has a change of heart after acceptance, WSA will not refund any monies under any circumstance, and, in order to bring the relationship to a timely conclusion, will charge all outstanding monies in full, no later than 10 (ten) days of the family notifying club of their intent to leave WSA, during which time player cards will also be returned, canceled or released, and the players will be removed from team rosters allowing all parties to pursue alternate opportunities with all obligations met.

WSA is disclosing this in writing up front to allow families to carefully review it prior to accepting offers and making a commitment. WSA is a nonprofit corporation (501C3) public charity, and since all club expenses and revenues within an annual budget (including coach pay) are directly impacted by team formation we appreciate families making thoughtful decision before entering agreements.  

In accepting a place on an WSA competitive team, the family recognizes that the team is operated as part of the WSA soccer club as a whole. These decisions are made not only by the team’s coach/trainer, but also with the Director of Coaching, and age group coordinator.  As such, any decisions related to the team, including the trainer assigned, the leagues/tournament the team participate in, the number of players on a roster, the players that are offered to a team, the positions the players play, the amount of time the players play are made by the coaching staff and are not considered valid reasons for a player to request a release and be given any refund.
