Off The Wall Sports Customer Credit Policy
We have collected payment for the Spring Lil Kickers which we were unable to offer due to the pandemic. We are now reopening fully as of July 4 in Stage 5 of the Indiana Back on Track plan.
If you have prepaid for Lil Kickers, we have issued a credit on your account for the prepaid fees. You are now welcome to register for Lil Kickers or other Off The Wall Sports programs and use your account credit as you wish.
Refunds may be requested on a first come first served basis. The Covid-19 shutdown has left Off The Wall Sports completely closed for nearly 3 months. As a result, we are financially unable to refund all credits up front. We appreciate
your patience in this matter as very few have requested a refund to this point. If a refund is your best alternative and you cannot use the account credit, we will be happy to add your name to a refund list. As we begin to recover financially from
the shutdown, a few refunds will be issued weekly. Your further patience is requested as the future is unknown.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and we value your business. We look forward to seeing everyone again. Be safe.
