Refund Policy
As a 501c3 [non-profit organization] East Coast is not able to maintain a large contingency fund and each dollar is allocated to cover rent, facility maintenance, insurance, coaches pay, tournament entry fees and general operating costs. Should we, as a community, experience a situation of a pandemic similar to the 2020 season we will evaluate on frequent basis what monies may be available for refund. Due to the fact that club dues cover facility fees, those monies will not be able to be refunded. Team budgets are created based of the initial number of player commitments to that individual team, therefore signing a commitment to the team is an agreement to pay that amount in full. East Coast will work diligently to do everything possible to ensure players receive optimum gym time and training regardless of obstacles we may face. As always, our commitment to our athletes and their families will be to provide the best possible experience while ensuring that athletes are given the opportunity to train, grow their game, and compete at their personal highest level. We appreciate your understanding during these unprecedented times. 

Once a player and family sign their club commitment forms you are committing to East Coast Volleyball Academy for the full season.  This is a time and financial commitment.  You are committing to attend all practices, games, and team related events.  You are also committing to pay the full dues for your selected team.  Once those papers are signed we are guaranteeing your place with the club, and in return you are committing to the full season and the full financial commitment.  There are no refunds given once commitment papers are signed.  Thank you for understanding that we only have a certain number of spaces on each team and cannot afford as a nonprofit 501c3 to give refunds once you have committed to a team.
