MSC/CJB Basketball Rules & Policies

Makeup Policy

Players must call out at least 24 hours in advance to receive a makeup for all junior basketball classes.  Players who have makeups may use them in the current season (space permitting) ONLY.  Players must let MSC/CJB know in advance when they are going to use their makeup.  No walk-ins for makeups.

League Scheduling

MSC/CJB will make every effort to meet your scheduling requests.  All scheduling requests must be made in writing and submitted via email before the start of the league.  Be very specific in your requests, and do not assume MSC/CJB will not schedule games on certain days.  If MSC/CJB is open, games may be scheduled.  For example, if you do not want to play during Spring Break, or over a holiday weekend, etc, please include that in your requests BEFORE the season starts.  Once the schedule is posted, all games are FINAL and cannot be changed for any reason.

Refunds/Credits

MSC/CJB has a NO REFUND/CREDIT POLICY.  MSC/CJB is not responsible for providing makeups or issuing refunds or credits for teams, leagues, games, practices, camps, clinics, etc missed as a result of any type of injury, illness, scheduling conflict, emergency, lack of playing time, or any other event out of the control of MSC/CJB.  If MSC/CJB cancels a program or is unable to place you on a team, you will receive a refund.

This policy is to ensure fairness for all customers.  Each program and team is specifically designed for a certain number of players.  By registering and paying for the team, you are locking in your spot.  Once the team fills, other players will be turned away.  Each team has a budget that is used to pay for the team's expenses (uniforms, coaches, gym time, ref fees, etc).  Providing refunds/credits would cause a shortfall in the team budget, which is why the policy is absolutely no refunds or credits for any reason.

Website & Email

MSC/CJB relies almost exclusively on the website and email to communicate with customers.  All schedules are published on the website, and an email will be sent to all coaches as soon as a schedule is published.  However, it is possible that email addresses get mistyped or emails get filtered to junk so it is the responsibility of each team and player to continuously check the website for schedule updates, especially at the beginning of a season. No refunds, credits, makeups or rescheduling will be given because you didn't see your email or weren't aware of a game or practice, as long as it is posted at least 1 week in advance.

Waiver

It is understood and agreed to by all players, coaches, spectators, and referees participating in Monroe Sports Center (MSC), Central Jersey Basketball (CJB), and MidJersey Basketball League (MJBL) in all basketball programs (clinics, leagues, teams, etc) that MSC, CJB and MJBL are not liable and not responsible for any bodily injury sustained by any player, coach, spectator, or referee. Every participant, player, coach, and referee acknowledge and agree that he or she is physically able to participate and do not have any disease, physical impairment, disability, mental restrictions, or other reason that he or she cannot participate. Furthermore, Monroe Sports Center is not responsible for any personal property which is lost, damaged or stolen.

Promotional Photos & Videos

By registering for any MSC or CJB league, tournament, clinic, camp or other activity, you are acknowledging that we may use photos and/or videos for promotional materials.  The photos or videos will be strictly for MSC & CJB purposes only and will never be sold or rented to any other party. 

Policy for Booking Courts

Gym Time will not be reserved without full payment or the appropriate non-refundable deposit (when applicable).  A credit card number can be used to hold the reservation.  There are NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS if the reservation is canceled within 7 days of the court time.  If you cancel or can't make it and do not let us know within 7 days of the court time, you will still be charged.
