As a follow up to our season cancellation email, we have received questions about refunds and wanted to share the answers with everyone.   The two types of questions we have received are as follows:    

1. We have been asked if player registration fees could be rolled over to the 2021 season.    Unfortunately, the answer is no.   We feel it will be easier for all involved to wrap up 2020 and start fresh in 2021.      
2. We have also had a few families  ask if they could donate their registration fees (or a portion of their fees) back to Allendale Little League.  The answer is yes.  Please note, this is by no means a request or an expectation – ALL is fully committed to refunding all registrations.   That said, if you would like to donate, please let us know by May 31^st.   The money will be allocated toward future field improvement projects.  

Thank you again for your support – please let us know if you have any additional questions.  

Allendale Little League

Dear Allendale Little League Families,

With the extension of the State of Michigan’s Safer at Home order, Allendale Little League (ALL) has made the decision to cancel the 2020 Spring/Summer season.  In the absence of clear guidelines on resuming play, we felt it was best to cancel at this time rather than postpone even further.  While disappointing, it’s a decision consistent with the majority of Little Leagues in our area who are also cancelling their seasons.       

Beginning this week, ALL will start the process of issuing full refunds for paid registrations.  Please note, we are unable to process electronic refunds, so we will be mailing refunds to your address on record.   If you have recently moved or if the address from your registration is out of date, please respond to this email by Sunday, May 31^st with an updated address.   Checks will be mailed out by the end of next week.

Lastly, I would like to thank the sponsors, board members, coaches, volunteers, families and community members who make this league possible.   A lot of hard work goes into preparing for a season, and it’s disappointing that we will not get to see the fruits of our labor.   It’s not the outcome any of us wanted, and it’s especially disheartening for the kids.    

Please let us know if you have any questions.    Thank you again for supporting Allendale Little League and we look forward to hopefully seeing everyone back for the 2021 season! 

Jamey Tenney

President, Allendale Little League
