Player Commitment

PFC strives to provide a value-based soccer experience for our members and players. As such, our ability to offer quality services and to operate is dependent upon our members’ full commitment to the Club and their team, as well as members paying all Club dues and team fees in a timely manner.
Our budgets are based on the number of registered players and projected/estimated operating costs based on level of competition, age group, and individual team needs. Once a player has committed to a PFC team and has met all requirements for registration, it is expected that the player will remain with PFC for the duration of the playing year and that the player and player’s family will be responsible for all PFC Club dues and team fees. Due to the budgetary structure of PFC, the Club will provide refunds and/or relief of Club dues and team fees only under the following circumstances:

 Player relocates more than 50 miles from his/her primary residence outside of an area that PFC can’t service. In these circumstances, PFC will refund, or provide relief for, prorated dues and fees based on the number of games the team was scheduled to play (league and tournament) and the number of games the player was unable to participate in, minus non-refundable amounts.
· Players can’t participate due to a season ending injury or illness as documented by a physician.
· Initial registration, uniforms and past monthly payments are not refundable.
No refund, credits or fee transfers will be allowed for any other reasons. If PFC is unable to place your child on a team, a full refund will be issued. Conflicts with practice schedules are not grounds for refunds. Refund requests due to injury must be made within 2 weeks of injury or illness and must have a physician’s note included. There will be no reimbursements granted for any programming canceled due to weather, acts of God, or forfeits.

 At Palacios Futbol Club (PFC), we firmly believe in the value of commitment. When a player joins one of our teams, they are making a promise to stay with the team until July of the following year. This commitment is crucial for maintaining team stability and planning for long-term development.

Our coaches and teams depend on each player's active participation. A sudden departure can disrupt the team's dynamics and performance. Therefore, we discourage mid-season releases unless there are exceptional circumstances.

If a player or their parent/guardian is considering requesting a release, we strongly advise them to first discuss any issues or concerns with the coach or club officials. Open communication often leads to resolutions that benefit all parties involved.

For more information or to discuss any concerns, please contact us directly at registrar@palaciosfutbolclub.com. We value our players and their families and aim to support them throughout their journey with PFC.
