Team Assessment Fees
Many teams will assess participants a fee at the beginning of the season to offset costs that are incurred by the team, but are not covered by the high school registration fee.
The average team assesses each participant $100 to $150. Teams may have higher or lower assessments based on their team budget.
Teams should have a plan in place to cover the cost of any participant that can’t afford the additional team assessment.
Coaches can’t alter or impact a participant’s playing time or position on the team for not paying a team assessment.
Participants requesting a fee waiver for the team assessment should work directly with the head coach.
Typically assessments are used to pay for:
Food before, during or after an event
Spirit and team building activities
Team events
Additional equipment
Additional photographers
Additional coaches
Upgraded transportation for overnight events
Hotel rooms for overnight events
Season ending team banquets
Coach gifts
Coach apparel
