Facility Policies/Rules
Updated 9/24/2020
  1. LEAGUE/TOURNAENT/ CAMP REGISTRATION FEES:
    All credit card purchases are charged a 3% processing fee (non-refundable).

    All registrations must be done through our website (geneseefieldhouse.com) or by calling 810-655-2200. We are no longer (Covid-19) taking payments at the customer window. At the time of registration a credit card must be on file, as any balances that remain after the 3rd game will be charged – no notification sent.
     b. We assume whoever is registering the team is in charge of the team: Team payments, rules acknowledgments, roster forms, covid-19 waivers and league schedules.  If the card that is on file is declined, we will contact the customer for other payment arrangements. If new payment arrangements are not made, the team will be removed from the schedule, forfeiting all remaining games and all monies paid to that point – NO REFUNDS.
    c. All activities (LEAGUE, TOURNAMENT, CAMP) will require a non-refundable deposit. This deposit ensures a spot in our events. These deposits are non-refundable and will not be refunded, unless the promoted event does not go forward. If you leave a full payment (Tournament or League), and are unable to participate, we will do whatever we can to get your spot replaced, and your money returned. However, due to the busy nature of some of our events, teams that are on a wait-list may have made other arrangements and are no longer available to participate. We may use discounts to get you a portion of your money back, but no guarantees. In the instance for individuals that have signed up for a GFH Sponsored Camp, all monies will be returned less a $5.00 processing fee.
    d. Teams that cancel on game day will be responsible for payment towards the official. We assign officials based on the schedule that was provided to you. If you are unable to play, please know that the card on file will be charged for the official’s fee in the format you are playing.
    e. During this current pandemic, Genesee Fieldhouse will no longer be handing out Ice Packs and Band-Aids for small bumps and cuts. This is the responsibility of the Coaches. Coaches MUST have these health items with you at all times. For any serious injury, please call 911.

  2. REFUND POLICY (LEAGUE, TOURNAMENT, CAMP):
    Genesee Fieldhouse will issue a refund for any event (League, Tournament, Camp) that does not fill. All refunds will be processed within 30 days of the date of the canceled event. Genesee Fieldhouse does not offer refunds for instances outside of our control. This includes, but not limited to: Snow events, Ice storm, power outages, mass illness, lack of participation, government shut-down, or any other issue outside of Genesee Fieldhouse’s control. We will do our best to make the event up at a different date. If your team is unable to participate on the new date due to a previously scheduled engagement a 50% credit MAY be offered. We will do what we can to provide the type of service that our customers expect.

  3. HEALTH AND HYGIENE:
    Genesee Fieldhouse will be providing a hand sanitation station in the lobby and all items touched by our customers will be disinfected with SARS-COVID-19 approved sprays and antiseptics.
