Team Fees

2019-2020 Fees: 8U = $100, 9U/10U = $450, and 11U - 18U $700

Our organization is made up of 100% volunteers!

Fee Usage:

Avalanche Fastpitch pays no administrative or coaching salaries. All our money is put back into the girls and we work hard to keep our budget healthy. As an example, in 2017-18 Avalanche charged $600 for players to play in our organization. Here is what the players received:

BoomBah Helmet + Decals = $51, BoomBah Team Bag = $80, Fall Team Shirt = $16, BoomBah Uniforms (2 pair socks, 2 belts, 2 Jerseys, 2 Pants): $171, Team Membership and Insurance Coverage = $20 (per player), Tourney Registration Fees Per Player: $300 (average)

Player Equipment - $381 + Team Registration Fees Per Player - $320 = $701 per player

Repeat Teams:

If a team of girls plays for Avalanche multiple years in a row, they have the potential to save money on a new bag each year, for example. So a team with 7 returning girls could save $560 in team funds on new bags. Tuition fees will remain the same and those excess funds will be applied toward the team fund for using in extra tournaments. Sometimes when we look at the team funds budgets, it appears there is a disparity when really everyone paid the same. Some teams appear to have more money because the team didn't have to spend as much on new equipment. Team coaches in the past have also had the option to run additional fundraisers should they need more funds.

Avalanche Fundraisers:

Avalanche Fall Soap Fundraiser:

Every player in the organization will take part in the soap fundraiser. This allows players (if they sell enough soap) to pay off ALL of their balance after their $150 initial deposit. This fundraiser will take place in September/October and the community loves the soap we sell.

Avalanche Spring Raffle:

All players in the organization will take part in the Avalanche Spring Raffle. This raffle allows us to keep our fees lower for all of our families. The funds from this raffle go to the Avalanche General Fund so we can pay for things like indoor facility rental, team equipment, coaches shirts, and field maintenance costs. We typically ask each player to sell 20-25 raffle tickets at $5 each.

Avalanche Tournaments:

We run a very well known Avalanche Fall Rumble Tournament in September. We also run a Spring Meltdown Tournament. These tournaments entry fees and concession stand money give us extra financial flexibility to support our Avalanche Teams.
