Club Season is not a pay by month activity. The cost of Club is divided thru out the season with an initial deposit of $500 ( August) and 10 subsequent payments of $500.00/ month ( Starting September 1st 2023 – June 1st 2024). It is important to note that by taking a place on a National Team you are taking a permanent spot on the team and while the total cost is divided into payments the athletes assumes responsibility for the total cost of the season. Payments are processed and deducted automatically the 1st of the month due. It is important to be aware that the June payment will be collected whether the athlete goes to AAU/USAV Nationals or not.
Athletes will have the option to pay in full or create a payment plan. The payment plan options will add an additional 3% charge for anchor credit card fees, and a 2.85% charge for finance fees (Total of $10.00 per monthly payment).
**Missed payments will result in suspension from the program until payments are resolved. **
