TEAM WITHDRAWAL AND REFUND POLICY

Please ensure that you fully understand the VMSL Refund Policy in full prior to registering your team and submitting your request.

The VMSL is a non-profit organization. The Association strives to maintain the lowest possible fees and ensures that our members receive the highest level of soccer possible.

The Association incurs an operations cost for each team and player during registration including but not limited to membership dues, commitments to facility booking and referees assignments 30 days before the season starts based on the number of teams registered and 100% committed. It is because of these costs and pre-commitments that VMSL adheres to a strict refund policy.

  1. Once teams have paid their Deposits and fees, Withdrawals requested after the team registration but prior to 30 DAYS FROM the beginning of the season will be refunded subject to a $250.00 operations fee.
  2. In the event that a league is paused during the season but is able to resume play from the date it was paused, teams will still be scheduled for their full complement of games where possible, and the season may be extended as a result.  If teams are unable to be scheduled for their full complement of games due to the pause, or the season needs to be cancelled at that point, then teams will have the option of receiving one of the following options:
  • Credit for future play worth the balance of the prorated amount for any remaining games that were unable to be played due to league cancellation, OR
  • Cash Refund worth of the prorated amount for any remaining games that were unable to be played due to league cancellation (the remaining percentage of the pro-rated amount is withheld by VMSL to cover the unrecoverable costs associated with the initiation of the league such as facility field rentals, referees, website, and any other costs associated with the season.
