*Consideration may be given for a pro-rated medical refund if a Doctor's note is received indicating the player is unable to participate for the remainder of the indoor season. A pro-rated medical refund would take into consideration: the refund fee ($50), uniform fee ($15) and a $10 per session fee for each scheduled session that passed by before the Doctor's note and written request was received. Medical requests received after November 25 would also be subject to an additional fee ($21-$34 depending on age). No refunds will be considered after 7 scheduled sessions have passed by.

If the Government/Health Authority shuts down indoor soccer prior to December 15, 2021 for an extended period of time, a partial refund will be issued; after that, due to fixed costs, there will be no reimbursement.

All sessions are held at the CAPITAL NEWS CENTRE on Gordon Drive (4105).
