WINTER 2021 REFUND POLICY- Kinnelon Recreation Committee adopted November 17, 2020

The Governor’s recent executive order pausing indoor winter sports until January 2, 2021 does not effect the Kinnelon Recreation Basketball season, as our season historically does not begin until the new year. However, if further postponements or a cancellation occurs, the following refund policy will take affect:

• If the season is cancelled prior to the start of the 2021 basketball season (January 2, 2021), all registrants will receive a complete refund to the credit card by which the initial payment was made.
• If the season is cancelled during the month of January, all registrants will receive a refund to their credit card minus a $25 equipment/administrative fee.
• If the season is cancelled during the month of February, all registrants will receive a 50% refund to their credit card.
• If the season is cancelled during the March playoffs, all registrants will receive a 25% credit to their account for future use.
• Any registrant with extenuating circumstances can contact the recreation department for consideration on a case by case basis.
• Please note: If a particular division does not have enough registrants to run a league, those that did register will be refunded in full.

Players, coaches, score keepers, clock operators and officials are the only individuals allowed in the gym at this time. Should the Governor, at a future date, allow spectators - all families will be notified.
