We charge a small fee at the beginning of the year to cover uniform&safety glasses costs for each student. Students pay in full all competitions, most of which are within driving distance under the district system. This year a student that wanted to attend all 8 of our competitions(including 3 off-seasons) would have had to pay about $2,000 out of pocket. We also seek additional sponsorship to help offset transportation costs, this year our district paid for the bus to the district championship and hotels in St.Louis.
