Please know that we cannot control the weather and that like any other outdoor event the TPX TOP 96 Clinics are at its mercy!
Before your arrival on day one of the TPX TOP 96 clinic, we will have already incurred all of the expense associated with the clinic including:
Facility rental fees
Travel and lodging expenses for our staff and instructors
Instructor fees
Fees for printed materials and uniform costs.
Therefore, the TPX TOP 96 cannot refund any of the clinic registration fees if the event is not completed due to weather.
However, in case of inclement weather, the TPX TOP 96 will make all reasonable efforts to conduct as much of the originally scheduled clinic activities as possible. We have arranged for back-up indoor facilities at each of our locations and we will use them as needed, even if it means staying late into the night or starting early in the morning.
In case of inclement weather, the TPX TOP 96 will not be able to reschedule the clinic. It will be impossible, for the college coaches we have hired, to reschedule at a later date as they all have other commitments either for recruiting or instructing at other camps.
In case of inclement weather:
Decisions concerning the weather will be made by the TPX TOP 96, the facilities owner, the clinic host, and/or the umpires at the clinic site.
If the scheduled activities on day one are not completed, either outdoors or indoors, they will be moved to day two and the games scheduled on day two may be cancelled.
If the day one activities carry over to day two then, at the sole discretion of the TPX TOP 96, the games previously scheduled for day two may be played at the completion of the day one activities either in their entirety or in a shortened format or may be cancelled all together.
The TPX TOP 96 refund policy, in case of weather-related cancellations is: “there will be no refunds, if the clinic is cancelled in part or in total due to inclement weather.”
In case of a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, etc. we will do our best to reschedule the event but can not guarantee that all of the colleges originally listed will be in attendance. In these cases, the clinic may be cancelled in advance. If it can’t be rescheduled, we will refund your registration fee less any expenses that we have already incurred.
As I read through your website I thought ok, the college coaches will be working the camp. Yes, I understood they would be paid to be there. I guess what I didn't grasp was that, no the coaches wouldn't be working the camp, organizing the drills, shuffling the boys from activity to activity, and making notes along the way, while trying to create an evaluation to hand to the boys later. I was so astounded to see the coaches all 18 (I counted) of them, planted in their chairs watching, not talking, and honestly evaluating each boy one by one. Giving them their complete undivided attention. This is something they might not even get at their own high school tryout. Amazingly there was no down time for the boys as they waited for their opportunity to be evaluated. At the very start of the event everyone was organized and accountability was assigned, thanks to Mr. Rosen. Each boy was moving, doing drills, learning skills, participating in something every minute of the two days. I was truly impressed with how smoothly everything ran, and the attention to detail. Every athlete was prepared, and warmed up, each boy had batting practice before the hitting evaluation, preformed grounder drills before infield evaluations, etc. I remember thinking, if a boy didn't do well it couldn't be blamed on the camp, because, he was prepared for his evaluation during the course of the drills, the varies activities and the structure of the camp. As for the evaluations, to have something to take home in writing was amazing. This is an unbiased evaluation, with no hidden agenda. The scale is fair and the notes the coach makes are a great reference tool for future training. Along with the evaluation comes something priceless, an opportunity to speak with a college coach one on one. To get honest pointed comments on performance and expectations, personally directed to my son with an opportunity to ask questions. It is hard to express how important that kind of interaction is to a young man, amidst the competitive environment that the baseball business has become. So I am going to be looking for the TPX Top 96 to return to Arizona, next year. My son Steven is a junior and I feel that this camp is the best tool for him to find out where he stands among his peers as he competes for college opportunities in 2009. My son is so fortunate that a friend told
us about TPX Top 96. Thank you, for your stellar program.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Almanza Parent of Arizona TPX TOP 96 Player
