BV Rec Policies - Refunds & Late Fees

Refunds for recreation programs will be given if a participant withdraws before the registration deadline for the program. Full or partial refunds may be given if a participant withdraws after the registration deadline due to a medical or family emergency. Refunds will not be granted for program cancellations due to inclement weather or other circumstances beyond the control of the Recreation Department. Late registrations for youth sports programs will be accepted until the first games of the season have been played.

A late fee will be charged for registrations submitted after the registration deadline of each program. For youth sports, the fee will be 50% of the registration fee for the program. For adult sports, the fee will be $50 per team.

Buena Vista Recreation reserves the right to remove any participant, volunteer, or spectator from any programs BV Rec facilitates at the discretion of staff.
