The Athlete’s Fee will pay for everything involved with the athletes except for what they will eat at the tournaments and USAV membership.

The parents/guardians are responsible for travel to and from tournaments and any hotel expense if needed. The athlete fee is divided into monthly payments with the first one due starting in July so that uniforms, equipment, and entry fees can be taken care of to ensure that teams are ready to play at the beginning of the season.
