WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
Once your registration fee is paid, please note the following:
No cash, check, or credit card refunds will be issued for any reason, unless the event is canceled by the host due to low attendance or canceled due to inclement weather.
This policy applies to all registrations, regardless of the reason for withdrawal.
If the weather doesn’t cooperate, here’s what you need to know:
We will do everything reasonably possible to complete the event.
If an event is completely canceled due to weather or field conditions:
You will be given the option to transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group event in the upcoming season or the next season. Transfers are subject to event availability and registration deadlines.
OR if we cannot find an alternate event then we will issue a refund.
We are not responsible for travel, lodging, or any other expenses related to a canceled or relocated event.
Last-Minute Drops:
If you cancel or drop out within 2 weeks of your scheduled event, you will not receive a credit for a future event.
Can I transfer my registration to another event or brand?
Yes! If you’re unable to attend your originally scheduled event, you can transfer your registration to another Athletx Sports Group tournament — even if it’s under a different brand like Baseball Youth or Softball Youth.
We’re happy to help you make the switch. Just reach out to us, and we’ll assist you in finding a suitable event. Our brands work closely together, and we’re flexible when it comes to helping families make the most of their registration.
