Refund Policy

1 January 2026

Katikati Football Club (the Club) has the right to collect reasonable fees for membership that may be put towards regional body fees, national body fees, maintenance of equipment and grounds, and other such expenses that naturally occur for the club according to the constitution.

The club committee has sole discretion to determine fees payable for different classes of activities.

The club committee has the sole discretion to determine the refund policy at any time, and is effective as at the day it is published on the KKFC website or the date of the policy, whichever is the latter.

Fees

Fees are payable at the time of registration or otherwise by arrangement with the committee.

In all cases, fees must be paid before a player is able to represent the team, or receive equipment for the team.

If a player has not paid their fees, they will be excluded from team activities, unless otherwise arranged with the committee.

A player is deemed to have represented their team if they have been at a scheduled match in uniform, ready to play, and does not necessarily require them to have actually played.

Activities such as summer skills, development training, or tournaments that do not include scheduled matches may consider other core activities as ‘representing the team’, rather than ‘scheduled matches’.

Payment of fees does not necessarily confirm a player's right to be included in a specific team or activity.

Payment plans

A player (or parent) is able to contact the committee to arrange a payment plan for fees, but this arrangement must be in place before the player is able to represent the team.

A player is able to represent their team if the payment plan has been agreed with the committee, and agreed payments are up to date.

The full balance of the payment plan is required to be paid in full regardless of the number of games or activities a player has attended.

Refunds

KKFC are required to pay regional and national fees for every registered player / team, as such a player may not always be entitled to receive a refund of their fees.

A player (or parent) can request a refund before the 3rd scheduled match of their allocated team in the following instances:

The player did not represent a team before requesting a refund (up to a full refund may be available)

The player represented a team 2 or less times before requesting a refund (up to a 50% refund may be available)

The player was injured and unable to play before the 3rd scheduled match of their allocated team (up to a 50% refund may be available)

A player (or parent) may not request a refund for fees associated against a tournament that they agreed, and paid, to attend.

All refunds are at the sole discretion of the committee, and if there is another reason you would like to request a refund, please reach out to the committee for assistance.

A coach of a team does not have the description to agree to a refund of any kind, this must only be arranged by the committee.

We understand that players might change their mind about wanting to play football, we ask you to work with your coach in the first instance, or reach out to the committee for assistance.
