There is NO CHARGE for Basic Members. The Premium Membership fee structure is $75 per team for an individual or "at large" team and $25 per team for teams that join as part of league membership.


Are there are other costs we should know about?

One additional cost to be borne by teams are the Travel and Lodging costs for teams that are fortunate enough to advance to the State, Regional and National Championships. As we have in the past two years, every effort will be made to provide detailed Travel and Lodging information to those teams that qualify for the Regional and National events so as to provide enough time to minimize costs as best we can.

Players for the 8th Grade Boys and 8th Grade Girls level must be in the 8th grade (or 7th Grade) in Spring 2012 and must not turn 15 years old prior to Sept. 1, 2012.

What about insurance?
