Why Are Families Asked to Contribute Towards Their Player's Team Fee?

The Boys Basketball team has expenses throughout the season that are not covered by the school athletic budget. The Booster Club helps manage these additional expenses so the team can provide things like game-day meals, school-day nutrition, tournaments and team celebrations.

For this season, those expenses are estimated 5k-10k, including:

Team meals for 25 games and 12 players: $3,600

Tournaments: $1,500
Out of Town travel: $1,700

Importantly, team fees alone do not cover the cost of the season. The team plans to raise additional funds through Vertical Raise and concession sales.

The goal is to spread the cost across family contributions + fundraising, rather than asking families to personally cover the full cost of these team expenses.

Any funds remaining at the end of the season are available to support the team's end-of-year celebration.
