TEAM FEES
Each team collects funds from parents for team clothing, attendance at out of town tournaments, playoffs, etc. The dollar amount depends on each teams plans for the season. Team fees can vary by team with $300 being an average. The fees can be reduced if the team does fundraising. Once teams are formed, a team meeting led by the coach and manager will be scheduled to discuss and set the team fees for the team. A portion of teams fees can be returned to parents at the end of the season if unused. The refund can not be greater than the amount originally collected.
