Initial- _________ 

Code of Conduct Continued

I agree to meet my financial requirement IN FULL.  Payments are due by the schedule of payments set by STMA YDT, unless the director or treasurer has approved an alternative payment plan. Failure to abide by the terms of the payment plan will result in termination. This includes the $50 volunteer check. Initial- _________

I agree to the STMA Juniors Refund Policy.  Refund Policy- STMA YDT. WILL NOT offer any refunds for club volleyball athletes once the season has started since the loss of an athlete cannot be easily replaced once all club athletes have committed to their teams. Therefore, STMA YDT defines the start of the season as the December 6th, and not the team’s first tournament.

Legal action may occur if payment policies are not followed as stated. Initial-_________
