We believe every individual should have the opportunity to participate in BARS, regardless of their financial background. In our aim to be flexible (while still collecting enough revenue to run our leagues effectively), we are able to support Payment Plans (via Shop Pay Installments) and a limited amount of Financial Assistance.
Payment Plans
We are able to offer Payment Plans through Shop Pay Installments, where you can opt to repay the registration fees over the course of several payments. This option will be available to you via checkout during the time of registration!
*Notes*:
If you opt for a payment plan through Shop Pay Installments and later request a full or partial refund, you may be charged for installments until that refund is processed. Your refund will depend on the amount already paid vs the total amount due - you may receive a full/partial refund for amounts paid (with no further payments collected), or norefund and a lesser amount collected on your remaining payment(s)
Certain players have communicated they are unable to qualify for/obtain Shop Pay Installments plans through Shopify. This may be due to a number of factors, but if so, please reach out to Shopify directly - BARS is unable to provide any info as to eligibility/ineligibility, as this is managed directly through Shopify and their provider(s).
Shop Pay Installments is the only avenue available for payment plans at this time, due to the limited bandwidth of the team managing operations. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Financial Assistance
We also offer financial assistance for a limited number of players across all sports leagues each season (based on need, merit, and promptness of submission). To apply, please complete the form below at least one week before the registration deadline for the league you wish to join.
The availability of financial assistance is unfortunately limited at this time. If you are not granted assistance immediately, your application will be placed on a waitlist. If space becomes available, you will be notified and have 48 hours to respond to secure your spot.
Please submit your application as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of receiving financial assistance.
