Fees

The cost to the player for a season of volleyball with the Club varies from year to year depending on the age of the player and the team. Each year prior to the season, the Board of Directors creates, reviews and approves a budget for the ensuing year. It is an itemized budget developed by comparing costs from previous years and an estimate of up-coming expenses, including uniforms, gym rentals, coaches’ salaries, tournament fees, and out of town expenses for the players and coaches.

After the player is selected for a team and submits a deposit. The balance of the membership fee will be split into 6 equal monthly payments due on the 1st of each month. The Treasurer will send out payment coupons to be submitted with each monthly payment so by June 15, the account for each player is paid in full. Payments are due by the 1st of each month and considered late after the 15th of each month and will be assessed a late fee. For additional questions about fees, please contact the Club Director or the Treasurer.

There is a small fee associated with tryouts.
