2024/2025 Fees
​
Club Fee: $450 - This covers league play, tournament fees, gym costs for practices, and insurance. 
Uniform fees: $90  -  Based on feedback from players and parents, we are upgrading our uniforms this season.  We are moving to a single layer reversible jersey and shorts with sublimated printing.  This new uniform should be lighter and breath better with a fun design.  The new 4th grade teams received these uniforms for this summer season.  The 5th-8th grade teams will receive these prior to the winter season.   Uniforms will generally be updated every two years thereafter, but players can get new uniforms in off-years if needed.  ​​
