Explanation of the Raider Refund Policy
The Bartlett Raiders are a non-profit youth football and cheer organization run entirely by non-paid volunteers who devote countless hours without any compensation whatsoever, to help keep the costs of the program affordable for thousands of kids in our community.   Each year the Raiders accepts payments for registration, which is the primary means of funding the program.   In order to run a viable and successful program, the Raiders must receive payment and committment from the parents, in the form of deposits and payments in full BEFORE the season ever begins.  

Each year, the Raiders base their committments for teams, insurance, equipment, uniforms, and other costs on the current year's registration deposits.   A large part of the money received each year is spent before the season starts, and 100% of the money is spent or committed to be spent, by the first day of practice.  

The Raiders can not issue refunds to people who decide to leave the program, after the money has been spent, because the Raiders can not receive refunds from the equipment suppliers, BGYFL, insurance companies, facilities rental locations, or other costs for items already spent.

Any member who feels that they are entitled to a refund, that is outside of this policy can appeal to the Board in writing by mailing a written explanation to the Bartlett Raiders, PO BOX 8172, Bartlett IL, 60103.  The matter will be discussed by the Board as soon as they can, and a decision will be given to the member appealing this decision.   The Board's decision is a final decision.

Please note that this policy and pages is available for public viewing on the Raiders' website, and is printed on the REGISTRATION form that serves as a legal contract upon signature or upon issuing the Raiders any money for registraton.
