The BTB Soccer Academy current policy for fee refunds is no refund once the player/guardian has accepted a position on the team. The only exception to this rule is if there is a medical reason, which has developed since the player accepted a position on the team, which prohibits that player from continuing to play. A letter from a medical doctor must be provided to the club in order to obtain the refund. While we can appreciate that personal circumstances may change, we have set this policy because it is impossible to properly plan and operate as a club without such a policy in place. Withdrawal from a team after accepting a position puts the club and team in the unfortunate situation of not being able to fill the position with another player. COVID related refunds will be dependent on any training adjustments that occur during the season. Please note that there may be no refund or credit issued depending on the adjustments made. Method of Refund Registered participants may choose one of the following options. • Donate fees to BTB Hardship Fund • Credit to be held and used on future registration within the following 12 months • Refund in the manner in which payment was received
SAFE SPORT
BTB Soccer Academy has taken the pledge and is now a proud Champion of the Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM). By making this pledge, BTB
commits to maintaining supportive policies and processes that adhere to the RCM to ensure the safety and protection of BTB athletes and coaches and
provide coaches with the tools and training necessary to model ethical behaviour.
RCM is a multi-phase, system-wide movement, co-ordinated by the Coaching Association of Canada and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, affecting all
sports organizations and coaches. The first phase of the RCM focuses on three key areas:
• Rule of Two
o A rule of two adults protects minor athletes in potentially vulnerable situations by ensuring more than one adult is present. Vulnerable situations can include
closed-door meetings, travel, and training environments.
• Background Screening
o The background screening process involves using several different tools to ensure coaches meet the necessary security requirements to coach athletes. These
tools include comprehensive job postings, criminal record checks, interviews, and reference checks.
• Respect and Ethics Training
o Increasing coaches’ ethical conduct and behaviour toward athletes requires coaches be trained to understand what it means to act ethically. The training
includes Make Ethical Decisions, from the National Coaching Certification Program, and training in abuse and harassment prevention, such as Respect in Sport.
All staff, board members, coaches, volunteers, players and parents are encouraged to:
• Take the Safe Sport Training course offered through the Coach.ca website, which is free.
• BTB is committed to having all coaches, 16 and older, complete the course making ethical decisions.
Welfare protection:
Contact Kris Hawkins for more information about BTB policies and if you need someone to talk with. All complaints are handled respectfully, with sensitivity
and consistency. Hawkins works in the Human Rights Department and has the Commit to Kids training.
