Dear BV Family,

Hope you are all well. Just wanted to give you an update on our league. After talking with the City of Chula Vista and USA Softball the executive board had a meeting and voted to cancel the rest of the season. We were hoping to have a 3 week conclusion to the recreational season in May but that is not going to be possible.

 

The Executive board also voted to issue prorated refunds based on the registration fees that you paid. For each player that you registered (up to 2 players because the 3rd is free) the league will refund you between $55 and $85 based on the various registration fees you paid. 

 

The reason we have to prorate the refunds is because we have already paid several fees that are non-refundable. These include umpire fees, light fees, USA Softball registrations, insurance, and the cost of uniforms. After a detailed financial analysis we have determined the refund amounts and the board will be working on setting up a refund process.

 

In order to receive your refund we ask that you please go to our website and register for a refund. We will be posting information with a link to request your refund on or about May 1st. All refund requests must be submitted by May 31st to receive a refund. The reason for this is that some of you may have moved ,or your personal information has changed. Refunds for those that paid with a credit or debit card should be fairly simple. However, many of you paid with cash or checks and we will have to mail those refunds to you. Some families have expressed a desire to simply donate their refund to the league and we will offer that option as well. Bonita Valley Girls Softball is a non-profit organization and if you choose to donate your refund to the league we will provide you proof of your donation for tax purposes.

 

I wish that we had some better news for you. All of the board members would like to see the girls out on the fields again with their friends playing softball. In this unprecedented situation we would like to ask you to be patient with us and we appreciate you supporting BV softball. We hope that next season is more successful and we can all return to BV Softball once again and have an enjoyable season. 

 

I would like to address a few more items briefly. We don’t know at this point if there will be an all star season. But if it is possible we will do our best to make it happen. There are also photos that need to be distributed and elections for next years board that need to take place. We will be working on a solution for these issues and ask that you bear with us. 

 

Once again I hope that all of you are healthy and doing well in this difficult time.Please standby for more information. We will do our best to get details out to all of you as soon as we have them.

 

Thanks you,

 

Sean Carey

President BVGASA
