Such participation is encouraged to maintain a high quality program, but it is not a condition of participation on the CV football team. Pride points for fundraising are used as bonus points, and are not used in consideration for a player to “make” the final roster. No student athlete will be denied participation on the football team based on his/her inability to pay, or participate in fund-raising.
