Other Info:
- A parent meeting will be held closer to the beginning of school to go over student-athlete expectations, etc.
- There is a $25 donation request that will be collected closer to start of school. This pays for tournament t-shirts at the end of the season that the host school will offer.
- There are no other fees other than purchase of athletic shoes (white, black, or combo), black spandex shorts with at least a 3" inseam, and knee pads (black or white). Players will borrow a jersey for the season. If it is not returned, there is a $50 replacement fee.
- Admission to games for parents (unless you are working the game as a line judge) is $5 per person, so we try to keep the costs low because we play two matches a week.
