NEW THIS YEAR FOR 17 AND 18 AGED PLAYERS
All of the clubs in the Kootenays have joined together as one district. This is going to allow for more game opportunities for all players but it will benefit our older players even more. All the clubs in the Kootenays have lower registration numbers in the upper age categories. This year we will be able to work together to field age appropriate district (Kootenay teams) if KEYSA does not get enough players to field a KEYSA team. The exact format of this is still a work in progress but it would most likely be a format where the older players would practice together locally 2x per week like normal but meet up and practice as a team in rotating locations either weekly or biweekly then attend all tournaments and competitions together. If you are 17 or 18 in 2022 please use the registration link to register as a player like normal. Once registration closes and numbers are assessed you will be contacted. If there is not enough players for a KEYSA team you will be contracted to see if you would like to play on a district team. If you decide to play on a district team your registration fees will be forwarded to the district. If you decide you do not want to play on the district team and KEYSA does not have a team for you to play on you will receive a full refund.
Refunds will be given at 50% of registration cost with approval from the board. Requests must be submitted to info@kootenayeastsoccer.com
Refunds will only be considered until the second week of play.
COVD refund policy:
If programming is cancelled due to BC regulations a refund of a 100% will be given minus a $25 admin fee. If programming is stopped part way though and unable to continue a refund will be give based on time missed.
