TEAM FEES & PAYMENT OPTIONS

Option 1 - Installment plan of 14 bi-weekly payments of $7.69 over 7 months with a non-refundable first payment $100.00 (*)(**)(***)(****)

2 - Pay in full team fee of $200.00 (*)(***)

Note: as the program is intended to be for a single season, the team fee reflects only the spring or the fall.  Players joining existing teams or forming new teams will play the difference between the Pathways team fee and the team fee for the age group  they are joining.  For example, if the Pathways player is U8 player - their team fee for the fall will be $200.  Since the full year team fee for a U8 team is $280.00, in the spring they will pay an additional $80 to join a league team.

* there is a service charge applied by TeamSnap that does not go to USA

** there is no additional charge from USA for using the installment plan

*** installment plan balances can be paid ahead of schedule if desired

**** there will be a 10% per day charge for any failed payments

REGISTRATION & PAYMENT METHOD - Both options use our online TeamSnap platform with payment via credit or debit card
