We still need a secretary, BBQ coordinator, and a Calgary West Soccer Club liaison to assist with the program. Other volunteer options include team manager, bottle drive (April 28) and pancake breakfast (May 26). Volunteers should expect to provide three hours of volunteer time as a minimum requirement. All volunteer positions are available for first come sign up during registration. The volunteer buyout option is still available for $100. This fee goes back into the soccer program and helps keep fees low.
Please note that Photo nights are May 14-15-16 with a back up night for individual photos on May 28.
For more information about the program or any of the volunteer positions, please call Suzanne at 403-836-5631 or email sbwelsh@ucalgary.ca.
Fees & Costs
Fees associated with soccer are related to hard costs associated with running the program. Last season we were break even when the bottle drive revenue was included. Costs for soccer include field rentals, field marking, uniforms, photos, medals, coach development and appreciation, equipment (including nets, balls, whistles, and cones), web hosting/online payment service, porto-potty rental, and a contribution to the community BBQ. Once committed to a certain number of fields and nights of play, we sign a contract with the City and the cost of field rentals is non-refundable, regardless of whether we play or not. We based this year's fee schedule on last year's costs, and hope that we will break even. Given that we do not know how many children will register, or in what division, we have to make our best guess.
These costs are non-refundable and fixed, though we do try to minimize or reduce the costs and look for lower cost alternatives from year to year.
VALLEY RIDGE SOCCER REFUND POLICY - 2012
Refunds will be given prior to February 28th, 2012 subject to a $25 administration fee. REFUNDS will be given after February 28th, 2012 subject to a $50 administration fee. REFUNDS will not be given after April 16th, 2012. Late registrations will only be accepted if there is room on a team roster, and will be subject to a $10 administration fee.
Weather Cancellations
At times cancellations are unnecessary, as the weather does change quickly in Calgary. While a team can decide to cancel prior to game time, we highly recommend that this decision be made at the field, just in case the weather turns around. Also, for U4 teams, please note that Wednesday evenings are available from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. and can be used to make up missed Monday field time. Since the U4 division only plays one night a week, the weather related cancellations have a greater impact. Regardless of cancellations, refunds are not possible due to the fixed cost nature of our program.
PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT play or practice if there is lightening! Mini soccer teams should not play/practice in extremely cold or wet weather, or if the fields have pooled water or snow. Calgary Minor Soccer teams may have to play in any type of weather due to the complications of trying to reschedule a game. Always confirm with the opposing Coach before making a decision. Inform the parents that all games/practices are on unless they hear from the team manager.
