Financial Commitment Waiver

Accepting the position offered on a Michigan Wolves Soccer Club Team obligates us to pay the full registration fees. It is our intent to honor the commitment to play with Michigan Wolves Soccer Club for the entire 2023-2024 seasonal year.  If we do not pay our fee in full, we agree to make installments toward fulfilling our financial obligation before or by the dates set forth by the Michigan Wolves Soccer Club, unless we apply in writing for an approved modified payment structure.  We understand that failure to fulfill our financial obligations to Michigan Wolves Soccer Club can result in the player pass being taken away to prevent competing in games and training until fulfilled. The player will be placed in “Not in Good Standing” with Michigan Wolves Soccer Club, which will result in the player’s playing privileges being suspended until all the contract obligations are fulfilled. This could impact the player’s ability to register with another club the next seasonal year. Notice will be emailed to main email on file with TeamSnap. We understand that we are responsible to pay all NSF fees. A second notice will be sent with notification that player is to be suspended until payment is received. Player payments must be adhered to or risk player suspension until payment is received.

REFUND POLICY

We understand all Michigan Wolves Soccer Club fees are non-refundable and we have committed to pay in full for the whole season.

If we choose to leave the club or transfer to another Club at any time, no portion of the yearly fees is refundable.

Transfer or release of the player will only be granted if all player’s fees and financial obligations have been fulfilled to the Club and Team.

For players that commit to a full year team there will be no reduction of fees if the player elects to play High School.

INJURY POLICY

We understand that if a player is injured in such a manner that the player is unable to participate at tryouts the player will still be expected to register online, fill out all paperwork and pay the initial two months plus uniform fees. The remaining fees will be determined by the Assistant Treasurer depending on the return date of the player. For any player that is injured during the season and is unable to participate for 8 weeks of the seasonal year, the Assistant Treasurer will make a determination if any part of the fee after the 8 weeks is refundable (To request a refund due to season ending injury, a medical doctor's letter must accompany the written request verifying the injury and that the injury prevents the player from participating).

I hereby agree to the Michigan Wolves Soccer Club Financial Policy and agree to provide Visa or MasterCard credit card payment authorization immediately.

Liability Waiver and Statement of Understanding:

I, the Parent/Guardian of the registrant, agree that the registrant and I recognize that we will abide by the rules of the Michigan Wolves Soccer Club, The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and its affiliated organizations and sponsors. I understand and appreciate that participation or observation of the sport of soccer constitutes a risk to my child of serious injury, including permanent paralysis or death. Therefore, I voluntarily and knowingly recognize, accept, and assume this risk and release the Michigan Wolves Soccer Club, its Affiliates, their employees, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, event organizers, officials, and Board of Directors from any liability.
