SOCO SPORTS POLICIES
These policies are designed to make each sports league and event run as smoothly and safely as possible. These
policies were created to provide organization and consistency for all participants in every SoCo Sports League.
Each participant is responsible for reading and understanding this information. Thank you for your cooperation
and enjoy your season with SoCo Sports!
E-MAIL
By providing your name and email address to SoCo Sports, you understand that you are NOT obligated to sing up
for or participate in any leagues. SoCo Sports will only send you e-mails to provide you with league and event
information and updates. SoCo Sports cares about your privacy and will not share, sell, or distribute your personal
information without your legal consent.
REGISTRATION
By signing up as a team or individual, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to all SoCo
Sports Policies and league rules. It is your responsibility to field a full and legal team each week. Your registration
form alone does NOT confirm your placement on a team or in a league. Individuals and Teams are only confirmed
to a league once full payment has been received.
PAYMENTS
All payments to SoCo Sports are considered final and non-refundable. Your registration form alone does NOT
confirm your placement on a team or in a league. Individuals and Teams are only confirmed to a league once full
payment has been received. Once your full payment has been received, you will receive electronic confirmation of
your completed registration. Please keep this confirmation for your records. Teams that register are allowed to
have extra players on their roster up to 50% more than the minimum requirement to play. For example, a 4 person
volleyball team may have 2 extra players on the roster at no extra charge. For each additional player above the
50% minimum requirement, a $40 player fee will apply. SoCo Sports recommends creating two teams if you have
more than 150% of a minimum team requirement.
REFUNDS
SoCo Sports will NOT provide refunds for league payments for any reason. This includes but not limited to
individuals and/or teams that become injured or sick, do NOT show up for games, withdraw from a league, or are
removed from a league by a SoCo Sports staff member, facility managers, or SoCo Sport’s management. If you
need to remove yourself from a SoCo Sports league, it is up to you to find a replacement and work out a payment
system with your replacement. All social events, parties, and outings are non-refundable, no matter the
circumstances.
SCHEDULES
SoCo Sports reserves the right to schedule games (regular and playoff) on days other than your regularly
scheduled league day/night. In extreme circumstances, SoCo Sports reserves the right to run a shortened season
without a refund. SoCo Sports is completely dependent on the constraints of each facility and we therefore ask for
your understanding and cooperation if we need to make changes to your league schedule.
WAIVERS
In order to participate in a sports league or event, each participant must sign the SoCo Sports Release & Waiver.
Waivers are provided at the start of the first game and must be completed and handed in no later than the first
day of play. Players not present the first week of play will still be required to sign the waiver with our staff before
participating. It is YOUR responsibility to find a staff member to sign the SoCo Sports waiver prior to your first
game. Only players who have signed the waiver will be eligible for playoffs.
PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
Players who have been placed on the roster and signed the waiver are eligible for playoffs. A formal protest may
be filed before a playoff game if an opposing player’s eligibility is in question. The player in question will be required
to provide his/her player information (name, address, phone #, signature) in writing to a SoCo Sports staff
member prior to the start of the game. This qualifies as an official protest. Any protest made during a game or
after a game will NOT be considered a formal protest. The game will then be played in its entirety as scheduled.
Teams will be notified of all rulings on the identified eligibility discrepancy by the following business day –
decisions will not be made on site. If the protest is proven to be legitimate, it will result in the forfeiture of the
game in question. Games subsequent to the protested game may be rescheduled. The above procedure will also
apply for any other “logged” protests. All rulings by SoCo Sports staff are considered final.
SPORTSMANSHIP
At SoCo Sports, we facilitate fun! We hope that all participants keep that in mind when becoming involved in our
leagues and social events. Although the games may become intense, you still can be competitive while
maintaining good sportsmanship. With this said, any behavior deemed unacceptable by SoCo Sports staff will
result in suspension and/or ejection from a game or the league. Violation of our sportsmanship policy includes, but
is not limited to, fighting, verbal abuse, excessive use of explicit language, destruction of facilities or equipment,
and all unsportsmanlike conduct towards any and all participants and staff.
GAME/LEAGUE CANCELLATIONS
Leagues may be canceled due to existing weather conditions, dangerous or unplayable field conditions, facility
constraints, etc. SoCo Sports staff will make every effort to play all scheduled games, thus we will not cancel
games until absolutely necessary. Please check our website (www.socosports.com) prior to any game to check for
cancellations or weather updates. If a game or the entire league is canceled, SoCo Sports staff will then call all
team captains. If a game is canceled on site, a SoCo Sports staff member will attempt to contact those teams still
scheduled to play that day/night. Depending on the time of cancellation, some teams will have to be notified on
site. If we do cancel, please follow the next week’s schedule. The games that are canceled will be made up at the
end of the season if time allows. In extreme circumstances, SoCo Sports reserves the right to run a shortened
season without a refund or schedule games on days other than our regularly scheduled league day/night.
PRIZES/ T-SHIRTS
Each team will receive one shirt for every paid player on the roster. The shirts will be handed out at the location,
prior to the first game. All t-shirts must be collected by the team captain. The team captain must distribute the
shirts to any players that could not attend the first game.
The championship team will receive championship shirt at the end of the season. Championship T-shirts must be
picked up by an official team member either at the facility or the SoCo Sports office. If championship T-shirts are
NOT available after the championship game, then we will notify the championship team captain when the T-shirts
are ready and where they can be collected, usually no more than 2 weeks after the league end date.
