ANNUAL SCHEDULE OVERVIEW
Our program runs on a 12-month calendar, but families are only financially committed for 9 months.
We do not train in May, June or December, so no fees are charged during those months.
We understand that summer is a popular time for family travel—we’re flexible with attendance in June and July, but these months are still part of our training plan and schedule.

Fundraising Commitment
Fundraising is an essential part of our program, with the goal of covering all tournament costs and eventually ensuring our program is cost-free for all players. Our Fundraising Plan will be released at our first in person meeting, MEETING #1 - JUNE Here’s how it works:
-
Tournament Fundraising:
-
Each team participates in 7 tournaments per season (entry fees average $600 per tournament).
-
Total cost per team, per season = $4,200.
-
Our goal is to raise enough funds to cover these tournament expenses entirely.
-
-
Future Team Fundraising:
-
After covering the current season’s costs, we’ll focus on fundraising for the next season.
-
The ultimate goal: By year two, no player pays anything out of pocket (*registration fees, monthly fees, tournament fees, uniform fees) .
-
