That fee will be split evenly and each family will be expected to pay for their portion. For example, if the fee is $500 and 9 players participate on that team at Nationals, then the per child cost will be $55.56 for the player's share of the team registration fee. Also, in addition to the team registration fee, there will be a $30 per player registration fee. Mark Schulz will collect this for each participating player and send one check to the National Tournament for the entire program. Finally each family will pay for their travel, lodging, and meals. We encourage families to travel together and share expenses. If you travel in someone else's vehicle you are expected to share in those expenses.
