COPA STC MEMBER REFERRAL CAMPAIGN 2024 FAQ

Who is eligible to participate in the referral campaign?
Any current member of COPA STC in good standing with no balance on their account, or previous history of declined billing is eligible to refer a new member to join COPA STC.

Can I refer a family member or a sibling?
No, you cannot refer an immediate family member or sibling that lives in the same household as yourself.

How do I make sure I receive my referral discount on my next month of membership?
You will receive a confirmation email from the Member Services Team once the discount has been applied to your next month’s membership fee. Both the current member, and the new member must submit Membership Request Forms by November 15th to receive the discount.

Can I refer more than one new member?
Yes. Any current member of COPA STC can refer as many new members as they’d like, collecting a $100 discount for each new referral that purchases a membership and submits the Membership Request Form.

How do I receive the $100 discount?
The $100 discount will be manually applied to your next month of Membership by the Member Services Team after the new member has purchased a membership, as well as successful submission of the Membership Request Form from both parties before November 15th.

What if my monthly membership is less than $100?
You will then be credited the full amount of your monthly membership. The remaining amount will not roll over.

What happens if I refer someone but they purchase a membership after November 15th?

Neither you or the referred member would be eligible to receive the discount if both parties do not submit the Membership Request Form by November 15th.

How will I know the referral was successfully processed?
You will receive a confirmation email from the Member Services Team once your referral discount has been successfully applied.

Does the referred person need to sign up for a specific membership?
No. All memberships are eligible for the referral discount.

When will the discount be applied?
Once the referred member purchases a membership, and both the current and new COPA STC members submit the Membership Request Form. Due to high volumes of inquiries, it may take 1-3 business days for the referral to be processed.

*All discounts will be applied after the new member successfully completes their 7 day money back guarantee period.

Members are charged a one-time initiation fee when purchasing a membership. This fee varies by age but may include a COPA jersey. This fee is also assessed if the member cancels their membership but returns at a later date.

Once the original minimum commitment term has been met, the membership will auto renew month to month and continue at the price of the original purchase commitment until the member notifies COPA STC of their desire to cancel their membership (See Membership Cancellation). Downgrades are not allowed on any original purchase commitment. Members may upgrade the length of their membership commitment level at any time. This upgrade will take place immediately and the Member Services team will apply any remaining prorated balance from the most recent payment of their existing membership to the first month’s payment of the new upgraded commitment length. When a membership length is upgraded, a new contract is created. The previous contract is cancelled, and the member is now required to fulfill the entire length of the new upgraded contract. For example, if you purchase a 3-month commitment and then upgrade to a 12-month commitment, you must fulfil the 12-month commitment from the time you upgraded, regardless of how much of your original 3-month commitment you had previously fulfilled.

Members may upgrade their Membership Type at any point following their initial purchase. Upgrading requires the member to agree to and sign a new membership commitment length. Regardless of how much of the original membership commitment has been fulfilled, members who are upgrading start their commitment length anew. In order to upgrade, the member is required to select a commitment length that matches or exceeds their existing one. Once the upgrade has been requested, the Member Services team will process the request and apply any remaining prorated balance from the most recent payment of their existing membership to the first month’s payment of the new upgraded membership. Membership type downgrades are prohibited.

When your athlete ages out of their current membership, we process Age Level Graduations to move them into the next appropriate age group of training. An athlete becomes eligible for an Age Level Graduation if they age up in the current season of Membership Training. To request an Age Level Graduation, please complete and submit the COPA Membership Request Form provided above. During an Age Level Graduation, a completely new contract is created for your athlete, requiring you to select a new commitment length as well. Please indicate the desired commitment length when submitting the form. If any necessary information is missing, our Member Services team will reach out to you before moving forward. You will receive confirmation from our team once your Age Level Graduation has been fully processed. To request an Age Level Graduation, please fill out the COPA Membership Request Form.

Members may cancel their Membership at any time after their original purchase commitment has been fulfilled. COPA STC requires 14 days-notice to cancel a membership and all memberships will be cancelled at the end of the billing cycle. Cancellation requests made with less than 14 days-notice will take place at the end of the next billing cycle. Cancellation requests made before the purchase commitment is fulfilled will be honored at the end of the original commitment only regardless of whether or not your athlete continues to attend COPA STC. You will be billed every month until cancellation regardless of attendance and no refunds or prorations are allowed based on consumption. Membership Cancellation requests must be made in writing on the Account Request Form. Requests made via phone, email or in person at the front desk will not be honored without the Account Request form filled out by the member.

COPA STC no longer allows membership freezes.

When an athlete has sustained a serious injury that prohibits them from participating at COPA STC for an extended period of time, they may qualify for an injury pause. COPA STC requires a doctor’s note as well as an Account Request Form submitted to request the pause. This pause will happen at the end of the billing cycle at which point the member will not be charged again during the duration of the injury pause. COPA STC will pause the billing for the duration of time the doctor’s note says the member is unable to participate after which billing will automatically be resumed. Members original purchase commitment will also pause with the membership and start up again when the membership is resumed. When member returns to COPA STC, the original purchase commitment will restart and the member will be required to then fulfill the duration of the original commitment. Should the athlete need to continue the injury pause longer than the original doctor’s note dictates, an additional doctor’s note is required. Long term or career ending injuries will be considered on a case-by-case basis and require direct communication with COPA STC staff.

Although all memberships are on an auto renewal schedule, we understand that you may need to change your credit card information from time to time. You may do this through your membership portal in Day Smart Recreation.

If any credit card charge payable to COPA STC is not honored, Management will contact you to resolve the issue by phone or email. If the issue is not resolved within seven (7) days, Management will assess a $25.00 charge for each credit card rejected and collect the current and past-due balance in any subsequent month. To the extent that Buyer and Member is not the same person, Member shall be obligated to make all payments that Buyer fails or has failed to make (including past and future payments for use of COPA STC).

You will not be permitted access to enter COPA STC until all fees are current. This includes access to booking Parties, Events, Rentals, Youth & Adult Leagues, Camps, Open Play, and any other Membership related events. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are obligated to pay any collection and/or legal costs incurred by COPA STC for collection of any fees. COPA STC reserves the right to charge balances and overdue balances to their current account under the EFT Authorization.

COPA STC may, at its option, terminate your membership if: (a) you fail to make timely payment under any payment plan; (b) you fail to follow COPA STC’s Membership Rules and Regulations or this Agreement; or (c) your conduct is improper or harmful to the best interests of COPA STC or its members. You will be notified of the termination of your account by phone or email to the information entered when registered. Termination for cause is effective on the date COPA STC first contacts you. You remain financially responsible for all dues and charges incurred until the date of termination and through your original commitment length.

Levels are determined by the Skills Check (6-8yrs), The Junior COPA Score (9-11yrs) and The COPA Score (12+). Skills Checks are offered the last full week of every month and available for booking. The Junior COPA Score and The COPA Score are offered weekly and available for registration and purchase. Athletes are encouraged to take these assessments to attempt to level up. If the score depicts they should move up a level, at that point they will be tagged in DaySmart and thus have access to higher level training sessions.
