Players and Parents agree to comply with the Club’s Financial Policy, which requires the Player and Parents to pay all Club fees (registration, uniforms, etc.) and all Team fees (tournaments, travel, etc.) when and as those fees become due and payable. Fees are due on the 1st of the month and late by the 15th of the month. A $5 late fee will be assessed if payment is received after the 15th of the month. Arrangements may be made to pay Club fees in installments satisfactory to the Club, but the Club’s Financial Policy requires that all team fees be paid on the date specified by the Club.

10. Players and Parents consent to Potomac Soccer Association’s Refund and Release Policy: To play for a Potomac Soccer Association team is a full 10-month (or 9- month for High School teams sitting out of League Play in the Fall) commitment to your coach, your teammates and the club for which you accept a roster spot. Players may ask to be released from their team according to the particular guidelines, rules, and regulations of their team’s league and in accordance with Maryland State Soccer Youth Association. ALL FEES FOR THE SEASONAL YEAR MUST BE PAID IN FULL TO BE CONSIDERED IN GOOD STANDING UPON RELEASE. PLAYERS THAT DO NOT FULFILL THEIR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS WILL BE REPORTED TO THE STATE ASSOCIATION AS IN BAD STANDING. This refund policy applies to players who voluntarily request a release from a team prior to the completion of the year (August 1 to July 31). As Potomac Soccer Association is a 501(C)3 non-profit youth program, and operate on a cash-in, cash-out basis, as such, we do not grant refunds. However, refunds would be considered under the following extenuating circumstances (No refunds will be considered after April 1st):1. Season-ending injury 2. Family relocation due to job or military assignment. Releases should be submitted to the coach and team manager according to the State Association’s rules. Release from a Potomac Soccer Association team does not constitute an agreement to refund any monies.
This Club’s Code of Conduct, Standards, and Policies are published on the Club’s website and may be read and printed. Is it your responsibility to read and familiarize yourself with these policies.
