• The Principal or designee will notify the coach that the student is ineligible until payment is received or FaRMS application is approved.
• The payment of the fee is required of all students who are members of a team roster; students are not guaranteed playing time by virtue of paying the fee.
• Students who participate by providing a service to the team (managers, statisticians, and announcers) will not be charged the fee to participate.
