Club and Tournament Registration Fees

KVA recognizes that club sports can be incredibly expensive, and we make every effort to keep costs as minimal as possible while offering programs such as the Hardship Fund to help eliminate financial barriers. Costs for an athlete's season typically total to a minimum of $2500 per athlete, and can be substantially higher depending on the team.

Traveling and Coaches Fees

Coaches are given an honorarium to alleviate the costs around being a club coach. Costs associated with traveling such as food, mileage, and accomodation are paid on a per tournament basis.

  • Coach fees are due 1 week prior to each tournament unless arranged with coach otherwise. Failure to pay coaches can result in not being able to play at the tournament.
