REGISTRATION FEES & FUNDRAISING

ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR YOU WILL GET THE HOME RUN CARDS IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU REGISTER YOUR CHILD!!  (As long as Registration form, Uniform form, birth certificate and $55 are turned in). 

 

For those of you who mail in your registration forms, you will need to come to the office to pick up your home run cards.

The fee to play Casper Youth Baseball is $155.  Once again this year, Home Run cards will be available to sell for those who wish to participate in this fundraiser.  Those wishing to sell Home Run cards will receive 10 Home Run cards to sell at $10 each.  So, again this year you will have several options for fees and fundraising:

1)       If you DO NOT wish to participate in the fundraiser, you will pay $155 by March 26.

2)       If you DO wish to participate in the fundraiser, you will pay $55 by March 26 and turn in the remaining $100 from selling the Home Run cards by April 26.  If you do not sell all

10 Home Run cards, you must pay the difference.

3)       If you DO wish to participate in the fundraiser, you may pay $155 by March 26 and still get your home run cards to sell.  Of course, if you sell the cards, you would then keep the $.

 

FYI- THE CYB OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED DURING DRAFT WEEK, April 12-16, SO WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING HOME RUN CARD $ THAT WEEK.

 

REFUND POLICY:  ALL REFUND REQUESTS MUST BE MADE IN WRITING!  Refunds will be given as follows: 100% refund given if prior to April 1st, 80% refunded if prior to Skills Evaluation, 50% refunded if before teams first game, no refunds given once the team has played a game.  Please note-refunds will not be given on money raised from selling Home Run Cards!
