We also realize that at times, injuries may also play a role in a players path of reaching their goals. Therefore, we have our injury/refund policy posted below for your review.
This policy provides the requirements to potentially obtain a reimbursement for a portion of the player registration fees, as defined below, that are paid to Intensity Baseball for a player’s participation in the Intensity Baseball Organization in the event of a season ending injury. Any approval of any reimbursement will be governed by and subject to this policy.
Definitions:
Player Registration Fee: The fee charged to each player to obtain a spot on a Intensity Baseball team. Except as provided herein the player registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Administrative Fee: The fee charged to each player to offset the administrative costs and expenses incurred by Intensity Baseball in the operation and management of their program.
Length of Season: The season begins on the first day of Winter Training and ends at the conclusion of the last scheduled regular season game or tournament.
Season Ending Injury: An injury will be considered “season ending” when a licensed physician determines that due to an injury a player cannot participate in the remainder of the on-going season and/or the up-coming season. The physician’s determination of a season ending injury must be in writing and addressed directly to Intensity Baseball or otherwise subject to verification.

Intensity Baseball shall not be obligated to approve any request for a player registration fee reimbursement based upon any other reimbursement decisions made for the benefit of the same or different players. Each request for player registration fee reimbursement shall be evaluated for eligibility based upon the current facts and circumstances.

The length of each season is divided into four (4) quarters for the purposes of calculating the potential amount of each player registration fee reimbursement.
Eligible player registration fee reimbursements will be made on a pro-rata basis based upon the quarters remaining in the current Intensity Baseball season from the date of the season ending injury. Reimbursements shall be calculated as follows:
- If a season ending injury occurs before the first quarter of Winter Training, the player may be eligible for a refund of up to one-hundred percent (100%) of the player registration fee.
- If a season ending injury occurs in the first quarter of the season, the player may be eligible for a refund of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the player registration fee.
- If a season ending injury occurs in the second quarter of the season, the player may be eligible for a refund of up to fifty percent (50%) of the player registration fee.
- If a season ending injury occurs in the third quarter of the season, the player may be eligible for a refund of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the player registration fee.
- Injuries which occur in the fourth quarter of the season are not eligible for any refund.
- Players shall not be eligible for refund of any amount of the Administrative fee.
