Along with the leagues the team may also enter Tournaments. Tournament schedules

consists of a spring league around 8 games. Most games are Sat. or Sun morning or afternoon. Teams will travel to different
towns for away games. Along with league play the team may also play outdoor tournaments which
are normally two day events.
Expenses:
The cost associated with playing on the team varies from year-to-year. All fees with exception
of tourn. Fees need to be paid before the first game of each session(this will establish a commitment to a full session and
leaving nobody else to cover this responsibility) fees should be paid to the team manager. This years

Tournament
fees: Tournament fees are
simply the, cost to enter a tourn./number of players on a team typically around $20.00.
As you can
see the cost of practice raises the fees dramatically. also remember these fees are based on the minimum # of players needed
to field a team, for example: a U8 team of 8players instead of 5 players would have a total league and practice fees for the
fall session of$127.75 instead of $205.00. And a U12 team of 11 Players instead of 8 players the cost for a session would
be around $201.00 verses $274.75.
Fundraising:
During the fall/winter leagues and the spring leagues our club will offer at least two fundraising opportunities
which will be used to reduce the cost to each individual player based their personal sales.
