Athletic Fee Information & Guidelines

Context
Athletes will be required to pay an athletic fee of $325.00 per sport with a maximum fee of $975.00 per family
per school year. Students who have been approved for a free or reduced lunch pay $50 per sport with a family
cap of $150.

Payment Terms
The fees will be collected through the athletic department at the start of each sports season. The Director of Athletics will
establish the collection dates for each sport. Collection dates will be near the beginning of each sports season (fall, winter,
spring). Failure to pay by the established date will preclude the athlete from participating in any team practices, tryouts, games, or
meetings.

Payment Method
Payment must be made prior to the first athletic contest. Please go to School Pay to pay all athletic fees. Cash payments
are not accepted. Checks returned due to insufficient funds will have a $25 insufficient funds fee assessed by the Town Collector in
addition to the athletic fee.

Refunds
Checks collected during tryouts will be returned to the athlete if that athlete is cut from a sport or decides not to take part
in another non-cut sport that season. There will be no refunds to any athlete who leaves the team or is injured after a specific date each season decided by the Athletic Director.

Refunds (full or partial) will not be provided to athletes who are dismissed or suspended from any team for any reason to
include misconduct, disciplinary actions, or academic failure.

Miscellaneous
Parents and coaches should be aware that the athletic fees do not cover equipment that has typically been purchased by
athletes, and that the fee has no bearing on the athlete’s playing-time.
