Fees
Here is information on how to pay the Hawks Ultimate Club dues. This is in addition to the fee you pay for your player to DiscNW (a sliding scale fee of $0-91.20). The Hawks Club Ultimate dues are used to cover field rentals, team equipment, and coach expenses not covered by DiscNW. This is different from the fall when many of these items are paid for by SPS.
Participation fees are:
$130 per player for DiscNW League Team
$65 for Hamilton Friday League
plus optional $26 Hawks Ultimate red jersey
Fees will be collected after team placements have been made. Thank you!

If your player would like a full scholarship (no payment), just email hamiltonhawksultimate@gmail.com to let the Treasurer know.
