How do we qualify for the multi-family same season discount?

The discount only applies to those family members who are participating in the same season on the same team. For example, for two brothers who are playing HS football, a family would pay $500 for the first child and $250 for the second child.

If I have a child that plays football and another who plays softball, do we receive a 50% discount for one of them?

No, discounts do not apply in this situation. They would both pay the full participation fee because while they are both participating in the same season, they are not participating on the same team.

How does my family qualify for the multi-sport discount?

In order to qualify for the multi-sport discount, a student-athlete must play for more than one season. This applies per student, not per family. For example, two sisters (Jan and Kim) play sports in the fall. Jan plays for the MS volleyball team and Kim plays for the HS volleyball team. Jan would pay $350 and Kim would pay $400 for the fall season, for a total of $750. In the winter, Jan plays basketball but Kim does not participate in a sport. Jan would pay $262.50 for MS basketball. Jan and Kim participate in MS and HS soccer in the spring. Jan would pay $262.50 for MS soccer and Kim would pay $300 for HS soccer, for a total of $562.50 for the spring season.

Does the participation fee cover the expenses for the sport?

No, the participation fees do not cover the costs of running the FCS Athletic Program.  Funds to support the athletic program come from a variety of sources, including gate receipts, fund-raising opportunities, and participation fees.

Will the athletic fee cover all of the expenses for each sport, or should I expect to incur additional fees over and above the participation fee?

We endeavor to cover as much of the athletic needs/costs as possible. However, some sports may offer items such as spirit packs, etc for an additional expense.
