NEW Billing Policy
Dear TYSA Members,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the NEW billing policies for the 2009/2010 Season. We are pleased to announce that the membership fees will be staying the same, no increase this year even with the increase in ice fees and league fees; we have the great fundraisers to thank for this. The Mites thru Bantams will play a 45 game season with the Valley League with the Midgets playing a 12 game season.
The payment policy for next season has been adjusted slightly to help the Board make more informed decisions for the upcoming year. As most of you are aware, a significant portion of the bills for a youth hockey organization are due early in the season. TYSA is required to make ice rental and league contract decisions as early as February for the following season. As a result, TYSA needs to get an accurate count of the number of players committed to our program in order to budget and plan the season appropriately. The changes we have made to the payment policies will help the Board make better decisions for our Association. We appreciate your understanding and the prompt payments we receive from the vast majority of the members.
The following table outlines the registration and payment schedule for the 2009/2010 season.
Registration Fee: $250 Payable before you Tryout - NON Refundable
Roster Fee: *$250 Due by May 15th to secure your spot on the team NON Refundable
June 15th First 1/3 of Remaining Amount Due
August 1st Second 1/3 of Remaining Amount Due
September 15th Final Payment Due
*Upon notification of your child’s initial team placement in April, each member will have until May 15th to pay the roster fee of $250, please note this is to hold your player’s spot. If you do not pay this fee by May 15th your player’s spot will not be held allowing another player to move up. No longer will the registration fee hold your child’s spot on the team it will hold the spot in the division the player will be playing in. Both the registration and roster fees come off your bill when it is prepared. This is not an additional cost to you.
Each member must make his or her payments in accordance with the payment plan set for the season. If the last payment is not received by September 15th the player may not be put on an official roster. In addition a late fee of $25 is charged for payments received 30 days past the due date. If a check deposited in our account is returned for any reason, you will be assessed at $25 charge to cover the fee TYSA is charged by the bank. These policies will be strictly enforced.
This new policy was voted on and approved, by the Board and all General Members in attendance at the TYSA Semi Annual Meeting held on February 10, 2009.
Best Regards,
TYSA Board of Directors
