Adrenaline is pleased to announce we are offering parents a solution to our “No Refund” policy as it relates to event fees. We are highly recommending that you purchase this new AIG policy called “Registration Saver”. You may still purchase even though you have already registered.
The policy helps protect parent’s investment in non-refundable event fees and related travel cost if the event is cancelled due to inclement weather or your player suffers an injury or illness either on or off the field prior to the event. It also covers many other unforeseen circumstances, which might prevent a player from participating.
Here are some key reasons why we wanted to make parents aware of the “Registration Saver”:
Note: The policy must be purchased 15 or more days prior to the start of the event. The premium is very affordable and calculated based on 6% of the event and travel related expenses.
If you purchase a policy and an injury, illness or other unforeseen event should happen to your player before the tournament start date, the policy kicks in to reimburse your costs.
How to Buy:
Please visit the website: www.registrationsaver.com to review the coverage. To complete the simple application, click on “Apply Now” and select the “Tournament & Camps”. You can purchase a policy for just the event registration fee or if you wish to include your travel, simply fill in the related travel expenses in the fields provided and your premium will be calculated for you. If parents and family members are traveling also, you can purchase the travel for the whole family! We highly recommend purchasing ASAP!
