We don't charge a fee. However, we do require students pay a portion of their travel costs normally their portion of the hotel bill. We have so many trips and things that a one time fee wouldn't really be fair for some of the students on the team. We have some members that never even attend competitions, they just prefer to come after school sometimes and that works for them.
