Sports Participation Fee Caps and Refunds

Sports Participation Fees

Sports participation fees are charged per student, per sport, at the following levels:

High School $200 per sport
Middle School $130 per sport
K–8 $80 per sport
Unified/Special Olympics $50 per sport

 

Participation Fee Caps

Sports fee caps apply to each individual student-athlete and are not family caps. Fees paid for one student do not count toward another student’s cap.

  • High school: Students who pay and participate during two athletic seasons receive their third season free.
  • Middle school: Students who pay and participate during three of the four athletic seasons receive their fourth season free.

The cap is based on athletic seasons, not the number of sports. If a high school student participates in two sports during the same season, a fee is required for each sport, but they count as one season toward the cap.

Sports Participation Fee Refunds

All refund requests must be reviewed and processed by District Athletics; schools cannot issue or guarantee refunds.

A student may qualify for a refund if they:

  • Stop participating within the first two calendar weeks of practice; and
  • Attend no more than five practices.

The refund period ends as soon as either limit is reached. Students are not eligible for a refund after participating in a jamboree, scrimmage, game, meet, match, or other contest. Students who are cut from a team are eligible for a refund.

Families should contact their student’s school to request a refund. The school will verify the student’s participation and submit the request to District Athletics for review. Submission does not guarantee approval.
