Fundraising and deposits
Fundraising Fee
To help offset our association's expenses we ask all families to participate in fundraising either by selling chocolate almonds or by donation.
- Option 1 = $90 for a case of chocolate almonds. The $90 is fully recoverable if you sell all. For multi-child families or if families wish to sell additional boxes the cost of the second (or subsequent) boxes is only $60 ($30 profit)
- Option 2 = $50 a flat rate fee for those who do not want to sell chocolates.
Refundable Deposits
As part of your registration we also collect 3 refundable deposits to help ensure the success of our association:
- Uniform Deposit = $100 (U9 and older) Deposit is required to guarantee return of loaned uniform. Deposit will be charged at the time of registration and returned when the jersey is returned. Those who apply to KidSport or JumpStart cannot use the funding to cover the deposit nor will it be refunded to the parent if covered by them.
- Volunteer Deposit = $75 (U11 and older) To help make the season a success we ask all parents to select preferred volunteer duties. Positions are filled by random selection. Depending on numbers, not all parents will get randomly selected, but if you are selected and refuse the shift, the deposit will be kept.
- AGM Deposit = $50 (per family) In order to have quorum at our AGM we need you (our members) to attend. The meeting generally takes under an hour and deposits are refunded when you attend (usually held the last week of June).
Please note: Any AGM deposits not refunded, for whatever reason, are not put into our general revenue, but rather are treated as a donation and put towards player development through additional coaching clinics and indoor training rentals.
Player Transfers
Please refer to the Softball Alberta Player Transfer Policy. SEMSA will review the transfer as March 15 of the current playing year. Decisions will be made within seven days of receiving.
