years alongside Johan Cruyff, one of the greatest players, coaches

When kids sign up to play youth sports there are always fees
involved. And parents pay those fees so their child can be on the
team, not the injury report. That’s why I love Sports Refund, and
parents will too. Sports Refund is low-cost sports fee insurance –
NOT health insurance, sports fee insurance. So if your child
becomes injured or sick and can’t play, you get your fees
reimbursed for that lost time, from one game to an entire season.
It’s that simple. This product not only saves families wasted fees,
it saves injured athletes the stress of feeling like they’re
wasting their parents’ money. The fees come back until the player
comes back. So they can focus on fully recovering and making a
healthy return to the game. Sports Refund has options for
individuals and organizations. Ask your club if they offer it, or
visit
SportsRefund.com/Game to learn
more and sign up today. That’s
SportsRefund.com/Game.
Can’t Play? Don’t Pay. With Sports Refund.
