SYSI and Lakewood Cancel 2020 Outdoor Season
Hello Lakewood Families,
This communication has been a few weeks in the making and we thank you and greatly appreciate your patience during these challenging times. It is with regret that we must notify you that SYSI has cancelled the 2020 Outdoor Youth Soccer Season U5 to U19 leagues. You should have received an email from SYSI earlier this morning detailing the circumstance and reasons for this decision (you can also find it on their website). http://saskatoonyouthsoccer.ca/article/59304
Lakewood Soccer supports this decision as the main focus at this time is the well-being and safety of our soccer families.
In the event that the city field restrictions are lifted, allowable gatherings are increased, and Canada Soccer lifts suspension of soccer activity, SYSI will be prepared to offer return to play scenarios for alternate summer programming which could begin as early as July. We look forward to working with our members to gather important feedback around alternate programming and ask that you please complete this quick 3-minute SYSI Summer Programs Survey which will remain active until April 30. A link to the survey was also included in the SYSI email, so you might have received it more than once.
Due to these circumstances, Lakewood Soccer has 2 options for return of payments you have made for the outdoor 2020 season. If we do not hear from you, you will be given a credit towards a future Lakewood Soccer program. This could be an alternative summer program or the 2020-21 indoor season. If you require a full refund of fees you have paid, please contact Kara at registration@lakewoodsoccer.com. If we do not hear from you by May 08, 2020, we will provide you with a credit. As a one-time exception, Lakewood will waive the administration fee that is usually charged when processing such a request. This is a large undertaking and is being done in conjunction with our payment processor. All refunds will be processed during the first 2 weeks of May and refunds should show up following May 16th. Cheques will take a few days to be mailed and credit card reversals may take a few days to show up depending on the card used so please do not inquire about funds not showing up until at least May 25th.
Further communications will be sent out as soon as any new information is released.
Thank You again for all of your support and understanding! As usual, if you have any concerns or questions don’t hesitate to ask by emailing registration@lakewoodsoccer.com or president@lakewoodsoccer.com
Stay safe and have a wonderful summer.
Lakewood Soccer Association (LSA)
