Finance Policy

Updated March 2026

Payments to the YBL

All payments to the YBL must be paid by the date indicated, either by issued invoice or by any electrical payment system used.


Any outstanding balances that remain unpaid after 28 days, past the due date, will automatically be increased by 25%. The YBL will contact the club by the Club Secretary, via email or phone regarding non-payment.


Any player sanctions that result in that individual receiving a financial penalty will be issued through the club. An outstanding invoice for any player will result in them being unable to participate at any level within the YBL until the payment has been received. Fines issued for juniors will be the clubs’ responsibility.


We reserve the right to postpone/cancel or eject a player, team or club from the league if all reasonable steps have been taken by us to resolve any outstanding payments.


You may not enter any YBL leagues for the following season until all outstanding payments due are brought up to date.


We may share this information with governing bodies or regional committees if appropriate. If any individual, team, or club have difficulties with payments please speak to a member of the YBL team to prevent any possible sanctions.


To claim a refund or to receive payment for an YBL event, each individual will need to complete a Claim Form, found on our website. 

Refunds to participants or clubs

Any team’s withdrawal prior to the season commencing, (before fixtures have been produced), will be entitled to a full refund at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Team withdrawal after the publication of fixtures for the forthcoming season will not be entitled. However, we will consider appeals on a case-by-case basis.


Payments from the YBL will be by digital transfer only. As we are a volunteer organisation, any refunds will be processed as quickly as possible, we aim to get this completed within 28 days of the request being approved.


You must provide your clubs full bank account details. Failure to do this may cause a delay.
