Financial Commitment
Your financial commitment includes the general assessment, travel assessments, and participation in fundraisers further explained below. Paying the general assessment is required; this team fee is in addition to the “Pay to Play” fee from AAPS.
General Assessment:
The General Assessment Fee per athlete will be assessed based on the team’s fixed costs (Match Fees, Uniforms, Food at Matches, Tennis balls, etc).
For the Spring 2025 Season: Varsity = 325
Junior Varsity = 225
The General Assessment Fee per athlete is required to finance the balance of expenses not covered by previous fundraising efforts.
The fee goes toward:
Team uniforms include a lululemon tank, jv skirt, varsity skirt (new player), wind breaker, sweats
Tennis Balls
Practice Court Fees (pre-season practice, during season indoor practice)
Invitational fees
Quad Team lunches
JV Banquet
Senior Banquet
Awards / Senior Gifts
The fee was determined by adding the above expenses, and reducing the total by a portion of the funds held in the team’s encumbered account and dividing the remainder by the number of players on the team. The team’s encumbered account is held by the Booster Club and includes all team revenue earned from fundraisers and fees. We use the 501(c)(3) tax status of the Booster Club and the sales tax exemption. They provide team specific monthly financial reports showing all funds in and out of the team account as well as where deposits came from, what expenses were for and who requested them. The tax-exempt number is 38-2970818.
The General Assessment occurs each season and must be paid by the Friday of the second week of practice. The team’s Orientation Meeting will be held on to review the budget and answer questions.
If the assessment payment, required waivers and permission forms are not received by the deadline, students will not be permitted to practice with the team. Waivers and permission forms include completion of PlanetHS.com registration which includes obtaining a current sports physical, paying the Rec/Ed insurance and/or fee and Pay to Play fees.
Travel Assessment:
The MHSAA State Championship typically requires travel and an overnight stay in a hotel.
Varsity players participating in this event will have a travel assessment to cover these additional costs unless the team is able to fundraise successfully to cover these costs (typically $2,000 for the team; $150-$200 per athlete participating).
Fundraising:
Fundraising is an essential part of Huron Athletics and enables our tennis team to keep lower general and travel assessments. There will be more information about how students can solicit donations to the team during the Orientation Meeting on.
Option 1: Payments can either be in the form of a check or online payment (link found here). If you are paying online, you may use this link: https://ann-arbor-huron-high-school-booster-club.square.site/product/tennis-women-s-team-fee/111?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=8
Please Note: There is a transaction fee for paying online with a credit card. It is 3% which is why there is a strange amount instead of the evenly split number ($225= $232.05 and $325=332.05)
IF PAYING ONLINE, PLEASE TAKE A SCREENSHOT TO VERIFY! MAKES UNIFORM PASSING OUTS MUCH EASIER!
Option 2: You may pay via check made out to Ann Arbor Huron High School Booster with the memo Athlete's Name & Women's Tennis Team. Please hand these directly to Coach Lizzie or Coach Albie. (No transaction fee necessary)
