 2. Fee Collection

       Fees will be collected after the teams are selected and before the first official game. No fees will be collected for try-outs. Students selected for team membership will not participate in games until the fee is paid. Pay to Participate Forms will be distributed at Practice and available online.

3. Fee Waiver

       Families eligible for the free or reduced lunch program or who cannot afford the participation Fees, may request that the participation fee be reduced or waived. They may make their requests privately to the high school principal, the assistant principals, the athletic director, the director of guidance, or the town’s director of social services. All such requests shall be kept confidential.

4. Refunds

       Students who become academically ineligible to participate on an athletic team, are removed from a team for disciplinary reasons, or who quit the team will not be eligible for a refund of a participation fee. Students who are injured or move out of the district will receive a pro-rated refund based on the number of weeks they were on the team.
