Corpus Christi Sports Complex Facility Policies & Regulations

2-4 Day Tournament Payment Policy:

Non-refundable deposit, due at registration unless stated otherwise. Teams also have the option of paying the full balance at the time of registration.
Final payment is due 1 month before start of tournament.
If a team registers within 1 month of the tournament, full payment is required at time of registration
Cancellation within 2 weeks of the start of a tournament/event will incur a cancellation fee.

NOTE: Remaining balances will be billed automatically to the original payment information 1 month prior to your event. For example, if your tournament begins on March 1st, the remaining balance will be billed on February 1st. Please log in to the dashboard account used to register your team prior to the payment due date if you need to update your billing information.

Weeklong Tournament Payment Policy:

Non-refundable deposit, due at registration.

Inclement Weather Policy:

Corpus Christi Sports Complex will try to maintain the originally planned schedule as much as possible, however, in the event of inclement weather:
- The first priority is always to reach the minimum number of games for each team.
- We will always attempt to have a championship game.
In order to achieve these goals, Corpus Christi Sports Complex reserves the right to change the tournament schedule as needed, including shortening games.
If a game is suspended due to darkness or weather, it is considered complete if:
- Baseball/Softball: 4 innings completed for a 6-inning game OR 5 innings completed for a 7-inning game.
- Soccer/Lacrosse: If 1 full half has been completed.
If an elimination game is suspended:
- If one inning has NOT been completed, the higher seed will advance.
- If the game is tied at the end of the last inning, the higher seed will advance.
- If the Championship Game starts, is suspended, and cannot resume, the game will be considered official at the end of the last inning.
  - If tied, the teams will be considered co-champions.
Weather will be continuously monitored by Corpus Christi Sports Complex staff, and play will be suspended at the appropriate time. Once suspended, play will resume after the storm activity has stopped for 30 minutes.

Lodging Policy:

Corpus Christi Sports Complex has partnered with Next Lodging Group to help with all your tournament housing needs. They offer the lowest rates online and have access to a wide variety of hotels/resorts in the Corpus Christi area! All rooms must be booked using Next Lodging Group.

Teams from the local area (within 60 miles) are not required to stay in a hotel and can choose to commute to the park each day. We will use the Head Coach’s address to determine this. Teams that do not follow the lodging process may be assessed an additional fee due prior to team check-in:

Weekend Tournament: $350/Team
Weeklong Tournament: $500/Team

Team Insurance:

Each team must carry its own insurance and submit a certificate of insurance to Corpus Christi Sports Complex before the tournament begins. No team will be allowed to play until all information is received and verified. The following must be listed as an “additional insured”:

Corpus Christi Sports Complex: 5102 Old Brownsville Rd, Corpus Christi, TX 78405
Next Sports Company LLC: 5102 Old Brownsville Rd, Corpus Christi, TX 78405

This can be obtained through your insurance company by asking them to list it on the certificate. We are NOT requesting to be added as a ‘named insured’ on your policy. NOTE: Soccer teams are only required to provide player cards for each registered player as proof of insurance.

Wait list:

A wait list will form once a tournament is sold out. Once on the wait list, coaches will be contacted in the order their submission was received.

Birth Certificates:

Every coach is responsible for providing and carrying birth documentation for all players on their roster for the tournament. Acceptable forms of identification include:

Birth Certificate

Any other government issued document

Only coaches may lodge an age protest before or during a game. There is a protest fee of $50 per protest. If your protest is upheld, your fee will be returned. Corpus Christi Sports Complex tournament officials may request age documentation at any time. If a coach cannot provide necessary documentation, the player(s) in question will be ruled ineligible.

Team Check-In:

Teams must use the online Team Check-In process 30 days before the tournament. Teams that have not provided the required documentation 2 weeks before the tournament will lose their place in the event, and no refunds will be provided.
