Refund Policy

LA-MV PONY Baseball is a non-profit organization that has always taken great care to produce a high quality youth baseball program at an affordable cost to our families. Considerable time and effort goes into the planning and execution of the LA-MV PONY Baseball season. This process begins in September of each year, a full six months before a single practice takes place for any teams. Included in the process is budgeting for equipment, fields, umpires, uniforms, and administrative costs. Because of the thousands of kids playing baseball in the South Bay, and thus the need to provide our vendors with our requirements for the upcoming season well in advance, many of these costs must not only be budgeted, but also expended long before the season begins.

It is because of our considerable care in providing the best program for the best cost that we maintain a refund policy. Our planning and expenditure system is based on the fact that once tryouts have been conducted for your child's division (ages 9-19) or your child is placed on a team (ages 5-8), we consider it a commitment on your part that your child will stay in the program for the entire season. We purchase equipment and uniforms, and we rent fields based on our registration numbers in early January. If you withdraw after early January it forces us to absorb the costs that we have already incurred for your child to participate in our league.

Regular Season

In order to receive a refund of your registration fee, you must notify the Registrar via email by the following dates:

January 26, 2008 for Mustang, Bronco, and Pony Divisions
February 15, 2008 for Shetland and Pinto Divisions

Note that, in some cases, we may subtract a nominal processing fee from your refund in order to recover the fees we pay for credit card and on-line payment processing.

We realize that there are sometimes extenuating circumstances, and we will be happy to discuss those with you. Otherwise, we hope that you'll understand and respect our policy.

Club Team

Club Team deposits will be refunded if the player is not chosen or if notice is received prior to team selection.
