Refund and Transfer Policy

The National Federation of Middle School Sports (NFMSS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, recognizing, and elevating middle school athletics across the United States. As a nonprofit organization, NFMSS carefully allocates registration fees, event fees, and participation fees toward event planning, staffing, facility rentals, awards, operational expenses, and program development.

No Refund Policy

All registration fees, participation fees, membership fees, event fees, sponsorship fees, and related payments made to NFMSS are non-refundable.

Once a registration or payment has been submitted and accepted, no refunds will be issued for any reason, including but not limited to:

  • Schedule conflicts
  • Change of plans
  • Injury or illness
  • Transportation issues
  • Weather-related concerns
  • Failure to attend an event
  • Team withdrawal
  • Athlete withdrawal
  • Disqualification
  • Removal from an event due to policy violations

Transfer of Registration Credits

Although NFMSS does not provide refunds, participants may request to transfer their registration fee to another eligible NFMSS event, sport, showcase, championship, camp, clinic, or program under the following conditions:

  • The transfer request must be submitted in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the originally scheduled event date.
  • The transfer request must be approved by NFMSS.
  • Registration credits must be used within twelve (12) months of the original event date unless otherwise approved by NFMSS.
  • Registration credits have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash.

Event Cancellation by NFMSS

In the event that NFMSS cancels an event due to circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to severe weather, facility issues, public safety concerns, governmental restrictions, natural disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances, NFMSS may, at its sole discretion:

  • Reschedule the event;
  • Issue a registration credit for a future event; or
  • Transfer the participant’s registration to a comparable event.

Membership Fees

All NFMSS membership fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Membership benefits begin immediately upon enrollment and therefore cannot be refunded once payment has been processed.
