⚙️ Competition Assessments - $500

⚙️ Fundraising!
Fundraising is an important part of keeping our competitive program affordable.
Two team fundraisers will be mandatory for all participating families. Proceeds will support shared team expenses, including indoor training opportunities and other season-related costs.
We'll also offer optional monthly fundraising opportunities, including tag days, allowing participating athletes to earn credits toward their individual competition assessments and reduce their out-of-pocket costs.
Season registration and competition assessments represent a commitment to the full competitive season. Monthly installments are a payment convenience and are not tied to the number of practices or competitions held in any individual month.
Team Threads: Uniforms
Season III will use the same Emerald uniforms as last season!
Returning athletes whose uniforms still fit will not need to purchase new ones.
We'll coordinate uniform swaps whenever possible to help minimize replacement costs.
