Re: Does your team charge a fee to join?
Team 20 unfortunately runs about $400 per student as a fee to join the team. This includes a team shirt, a team jersey, and one of our two regionals.
There are reasons behind this monstrous fee in team history, but if you want to know more about that, you can PM me.
Most of the money goes to travel expenses to transport our 100+ student team to the events.
No student would ever be turned away from the team or not allowed to go to an event because of financial reasons, however, so it's not quite as horrible as it sounds.
But as a Freshman, convincing my parents to take on even part of that cost was difficult.
