2010-2011 SHORT COURSE REGISTRATION SENT VIA EMAIL TO ALL STARFISH FAMILIES

Dear Starfish Families,
 
The Starfish would like to introduce to you a new Annual Plan for registering your swimmers for the upcoming season.  Please read over the attached letter very carefully.  It explains the 2 plans and the fee schedules.
 
We will need to hear back from you by Tuesday 8/31/10 as to which plan you will be using for registering your swimmer(s).  If we do not hear from you by 8/31, you will be signed up for the seasonal plan.
 
We also need to hear back from you if you are not returning to the team so that we can close out your account.
 
Please send an email to the address below and state your family name and if you will be going to the new Annual plan or the Seasonal plan.

We need to know so that we can set up your Starfish account accordingly.

As a reminder, the team requires that all accounts be paid in full before registering for the next season. 



All checks and money should be handled by the Starfish Treasurer.  We
ask that every family/team member be sure that all money/checks are

XII. Refund Policy
 A. Within the first 3 weeks of your squad’s practice season
 Any requests for refunds made within the first 3 weeks of the squad’s
practice season will be reviewed by the Finance Committee on a case-by-case
basis. The request should be made to the Treasurer of the Club, and the
following general guidelines have been established:
Club registration fees.  If a swimmer is injured or determines he/she
does not want to continue within three (3) weeks after the commencement
of the squad’s practice season, the Finance Committee will consider a
refund of the Club registration fees.  However USA fees cannot be
refunded.   
Meet fees.  Once a swimmer has been entered in a meet, the meet fees
are due and no refunds can be made.  The Club has a responsibility to
pay those meet fees to the host club on a timely basis.
 B. After the first 3 weeks of your squad’s practice season
 The Albany Starfish Swim Club has found it necessary to establish a
firm NO REFUND POLICY concerning annual swimming dues and registration
fees for swimmers who have registered with our club and have requested a
refund after the first 3 weeks of their squad’s practice season.
Our financial
commitments involve annual contracts based on swimmer registrations. Albany
Starfish Swim Club is obligated to fulfill these contracts regardless of the number
of swimmers we have in the water at any time. We understand many of our
swimmers will experience, at some time during the season, illness, injury, over-
commitment, decreased interest or problems that may take them out of the
water. While we regret these problems, NO REFUND OF REGISTRATION FEE
AND/OR DUES can be made for swimmers who are out of the water.
