Premier Program Payments

Payment Options

When joining a Premier Team, parents can choose between two options: "Pay In Full" or "Monthly Installments"

  • Pay in Full: The full price of the team is charged at checkout.

  • Monthly Installments: The total price of the program is divided into monthly installments, charged to your card once a month until full payment is complete. The last monthly installment will be charged in April.

Monthly Installment Policies

  • Parents opting for "Monthly Installments" must keep an active credit card on file until all payments are complete.

  • If a charge is declined, parents must update their card within two weeks to bring their balance up to date. Failure to do so may result in the player being removed from the program.

  • If a parent withdraws their child before the end of the payment plan, they must complete all payments from the plan (see Withdrawal Policy below). PPA reserves the right to charge the remaining balance to the card on file if the parent withdraws before completing the payment plan.

Mid-Year Transfers or Additions

Players who join teams mid-year will be provided a prorated fee based on when they join (see table below).

Refunds and Player Releases: 

Joining a PPA Premier Team program commits players to participate and pay for the entire year. Players may request a release from their team according to the guidelines, rules, and regulations of their team’s governing bodies. All fees for the seasonal year (August 1 to April 30) must be paid in full to be considered in good standing upon release. Refunds may be considered under the following extenuating circumstances:

  1. Season-ending injury

  2. Family relocation

Player Releases due to Injury: 

If a player is injured and cannot participate with their team, a parent must notify their Coach and Age Group Director with a Doctor’s note within ten (10) days of the injury. After review, payments may be suspended until the player is cleared (with a Doctor’s note) to return to play. Fees and payments will continue to accrue for all players not in compliance with this policy, regardless of injury.

Compliance with PPA's Code of Conduct:

  • Members must comply with all policies set forth by PPA's Code of Conduct and those established by relevant governing bodies.
    Failure to adhere to these rules may result in disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion from the club.
    PPA reserves the right to terminate or suspend membership for misconduct or any other reason deemed appropriate by club management.
    Termination of membership does not entitle the member to a refund of any fees paid.

Withdrawal Policy:

Should you choose to terminate your membership with a PPA Premier Team before the season's conclusion, parents are still responsible for fulfilling the remainder of your financial commitment as outlined in the agreed-upon payment plan. Player credentials will only be released upon the complete satisfaction of all outstanding dues. In order to withdraw a player from a PPA team, a parent must notify their Coach and Age Group Director in writing.

Termination of Membership Policy:

  • PPA reserves the right to terminate or suspend membership for misconduct or any other reason deemed appropriate by club management.

  • Termination of membership does not entitle the member to a refund of any fees paid.
