GENERAL

The refund that FCR offers is intended to refund the portion of the player’s fees that would have gone towards remaining games or training fees (i.e. field rentals and referee fees). FCR will not issue a refund for nonrefundable items including games that the player was on the roster for or was eligible to have played in but never played.

As a member organization of the Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA), FCR must register all players, coaches and referees with the SSA. Registering players, coaches and referees enables the SSA to provide the best services to the soccer players in the province and to monitor how the sport is developing and where we can improve it. Over 30,000 players participate in the sport each year and the SSA offers them technical resources to improve the standard of playing, refereeing and coaching, and an insurance policy that covers every registered player comprehensively. As such, all players, coaches and referees must pay a fee to the SSA to cover the costs of these technical resources and insurance policies as well as the administrative costs that are associated with them. FCR collects these fees from the players in our district and then pay them directly to the SSA. The refund that FCR offers does not include a refund on such items listed above.

The FCR Refund Request Form can be found on the FCR Website at www.fcregina.com > About Us > Key Documents/Policies.
