Verona Lacrosse Club Refund & Insurance Policy

Upon completion of registering the athlete, parents or legal guardians are agreeing to the following:

1. Registration fees will be payed in full either at registration or by the final designated payment plan date if payment plan was selected during the registration process. The payment plan dates are established annually based on organizational needs.
2. Although we strive to ensure athlete retention, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. Any requested refunds will be subject to prorated adjustments for player pack or clothing purchases and the length of time the athlete did participate in the program.
3. Any outstanding fees will be charged to the payment method on file including, unfulfilled volunteer hours, rental equipment loss or damage fees, outstanding registration fees, and any associated late fees.

Optional Registration Insurance

At registration, families have the option to purchase Registration Protection Insurance through Vertical Insure. This coverage can reimburse non-refundable registration fees if a player is unable to compete the season due to covered unforeseen circumstances such as injury or illness. Coverage begins the day after purchase and extends through the season. Approved claims may result in:

• A full or prorated refund of fees, depending on when the event occurs
• Payment by Vertical Insure of any remaining balance owed to Verona Lacrosse Club, even if the family is on a payment plan.

The Verona Lacrosse Club (VLC) is a volunteer organization, which requires the participation of its members' families to ensure its success.

Volunteer Policy

• There is a minimum volunteer hour commitment of 8 hrs to play with the club. The hour amount varies depending on the number of kids you have in the program. For each player after the first, the hours required are cut in half. Example: 1 player = 8hr, 2 players = 12 hrs, 3 or more players = 14 hrs
• Hours spent volunteering at the Badger Spring Invite (BSI) Events count as "time and a half" towards your required amount.

• Volunteer Coordinator(s) may implement and assign team-specific volunteer commitment deadlines to ensure volunteer commitments are met.
• Volunteer opportunities for a family can be fulfilled by players 16 years or older or by players younger than 16 if under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Requests for exceptions to these age limit requirements may be granted by the Volunteer Coordinator.

Generally, VLC will use images in their original form or enhances, altered, or modified to promote the Verona Lacrosse Club on social media, enhance our website, and develop promotional materials to be distributed in our community. It is incredibly rare that a child would be identified by name on social media platforms as we strive to promote the collective strengths of VLC over the achievements of a single player. However, we want families to understand that there are potential risks when personally identifiable information is posted online, as global access to the internet prevents full control over who may view or use such information. These risks have always existed; however, our intent is to positively highlight and celebrate your child and their involvement in our program. Any parent is welcome to request an image be removed at any time. Contact the Webmaster to do so.
