Refund Policy
Catalyst Volleyball offers all-inclusive fees that provide the necessary funds for each team to compete for the entire season. Club fees are determined by several factors, including, but not limited to, the level of the team, the uniform and apparel package, quantity, type, and the amount of on-the-court practice time. The fees also include funds to pay the fixed costs to run the Club, including, but not limited to, facility rental costs and maintenance, club insurance, equipment, USA Volleyball, AAU, and other registrations and sanction fees, payments for team coaching, coaches training and certifications, staff salaries, administrative expenses, technology, taxes, and other business expenses.
When you accept an offer to participate, you accept the financial obligations for the entire club fee for that season. No refunds, partial or full, will be made to those who choose not to participate or quit, or is removed for a policy violation, at any point after acceptance of the club contract and all future payments and payment plans become due. Prorated refunds may be considered at the discretion of the Club due to the cancellation of a season as a result of a government mandate and/or actions of applicable volleyball-sanctioning associations, such as the Lone Star Region of USA Volleyball and USA Volleyball. Refund amounts due to the cancellation of a season will be estimated based upon an approximation of unused non-fixed costs associated with, and refunds received by the club as a result of, the cancellation of the season that is directly associated with the player and their team.
Catalyst Volleyball reserves the right to waive this Refund Policy at its sole discretion at any time. Such waiver shall generally be in response to extenuating or highly unusual circumstances, and in no event shall the Club be obligated to waive this Refund Policy.
