We're not allowed to have a cost to play in our district, however.....
The booster club sells a "pride pack" for $225 JV and $250 for Varsity. It includes a couple of practice shirts, mesh shorts, a batting practice jacket and a duffel bag. It also includes a ticket for the player to the end of year banquet that is usually held at a local hotel. Varsity is $25 more to cover the cost of a pre-season tourney that JV can't play in due to district rules.
We also sell banners for $150-$500. Throw in concession stand money and booster club fees, and the program brings in a good amount of money.
It's necessary though because funding for baseball is pretty tight at the school. I know so far the boosters have paid for a portable batting practice mound, new netting and carpets for the cages, some new dirt for the infield, a company to come in and re-do the pitchers mound, and new tarps for the mound and home plate.
On top of that the booster club is paying for one of the assistant coaches this year because there were no funds in the school budget for the position.
