Team Fee Structure

Team Fee Structure Overview

Registration Fees

Registration fees cover specific baseline expenses for the season. However, not all costs are included—many are managed at the team level.

Typical Team-Level Expenses

The following items are commonly incurred at all team levels:

• Name bars
• Extra ice time
• Dryland training
• Coaching expenses
• Fundraising expenses
• Team apparel
• Non-related expenses (e.g., tournament meals, player gifts, etc.)
• Bank charges
• Meeting room rental fees

Startup Costs (Seed Fees)

At the first team meeting, each family will be asked to contribute a fixed Startup Fee to help cover:

• Entry fees for two tournaments
• Initial team expenses required at the beginning of the season

Fundraising Requirements

Fundraising helps offset various team-related costs. Requirements differ by division:

City League

• Each player must either:
• Participate in team fundraising efforts, or
• Pay a set amount (based on team size and fundraising goals)
• Fundraising targets will be outlined in your division’s budget chart outlined below.

Elite/Tiered Teams

• Travel team expenses vary significantly and are not standardized currently.
• Each team must follow:
• Coach/Manager Appreciation Gifts (not to exceed $50.00 per staff)
• All social events/meals/player gifts/snacks (not to exceed $75.00 per player)
• All players participate in fundraising
• Parents should be aware that refunds of Startup Fees are only issued if there is a surplus remaining in the team budget at the end of the season and players participated in all fundraising.

Team Budget & Approval Process

• At the initial team meeting, a detailed team budget will be presented.
• The budget must be signed by all parents for approval.
• Once all parental signatures have been collected, the budget must be submitted to Amy for approval before any fundraising activities can begin.  

Policy on Budget Changes
If actual expenses deviate by more than 10% from the approved budget:

• The updated budget must be resubmitted to RDMH
• Parents must re-sign to approve the revised budget

Please refer to the division-specific cost chart for approximate team costs per player.
