Re:             Athlete Accounts with CCY – 2011/2012 Season


Hello Ski Team members – welcome to another ski training season!

I just wanted to inform you of the way your Cross County Yukon athlete accounts work.  Athlete accounts are used to keep track of all expenses (equipment purchased, training & ski trip expenses) and all income (fundraising, grant money, account payments) incurred by individual athletes.  I manage the athlete accounts, using the expense reports from trips, and invoices for equipment/clothing purchase, prepared by our Sport Coordinator & Assistant Sport Coordinator (Alain & Amanda).

Ø  CCY’s fiscal year is May 01 to April 30.  Your account will follow this schedule, and by April 30 of each year, we attempt to close off each account for the season.  Any money owing is due by April 30, and money still in your account will be rolled over into your next season’s account, unless you ask for it to be reimbursed, in which case I will write you a cheque for the amount requested.

Ø  I will update your athlete account statement 3 times per season – on November 30, January 30 and April 10, and will mail them so that you will receive them shortly after these dates.   If you have questions or concerns about your account in between statements, please feel free to contact me.

Ø  The accounts are a one page ledger showing all debits (expenses incurred) and all credits (income received) for the season up to the date on the account.  The final balance (lowest number on the right side) on the ledger is the current amount due (will be shown in red) or the money still in the account (shown in black).

Ø  Along with the athlete account statement, I will include a breakdown of expenses for each trip taken, as well as any invoices for various equipment, rollerski rentals, Team clothing, etc that has been incurred by individual athletes.

Ø  Please check over your account statements carefully once you receive them, and please call me or email me if you have any questions, or notice any errors/omissions.

Ø  New this season is our request for post-dated cheques.  CCY has implemented this policy to help us better manage our income against expenses, as well as we hope it will help families pay in installments so they aren’t facing a large athlete account at the end of the season.  Cheques that are not needed to balance expenses at time of deposit will be returned with your athlete account mail out.  As this will be my first season trying this procedure, I thank you for your patience and understanding as I work through any kinks that may occur.

The post-dated schedule is:
$450 cheque dated May 30th               (1st half of squad fee)
            $450 postdated August 30                  (2nd half of squad fee)
$500 postdated Nov 30                       (Equipment, Team clothing)
$500 postdated Jan 30                        (AWG race fees, trips)
$500 postdated March 30                   (Trips)
$500 postdated April 30                      (Final Athlete Accounting)


Ø  Please make cheques payable to Cross Country Yukon.  They can be hand delivered to Alain or Amanda, dropped off at Sport Yukon or mailed to the Cross Country Yukon address (above). 

Ø  I will issue Child Tax credit receipts (for age applicable athletes) for your squad fees ($900), which will be included with your athlete account statement at the end of November.  Please keep them for your records.

Ø  The CCY Squad Fee Refund Policy, Fundraising Policy and Podium incentive information is posted on the CCY website (www.crosscountryyukon.com).  Please read over and call if you have any questions.


Thanks in advance for your cooperation!  I look forward to working with you again, and wish you the best of luck in the upcoming ski season.
