**Junior, Senior Groups:  Swimmers must pay 12-months of dues even if the swimmer does not swim the entire 12 months.

Dues are not refundable.   For the Orange, Blue or Gold Groups, if you are going to discontinue swimming for any reason, you must notify the billing person by the 1st of the month or you will be charged for that month.

Other:  Fundraising events such as swim meets and swim-a-thons are major parts of the team’s budget each year.  Sunkist may establish minimum commitment levels for each event.

4. Billing - For those families not paying the full amount upfront, Sunkist will direct debit your checking account monthly.  Direct Debits can be scheduled for the 10th of the month.   Sunkist will debit your account for the monthly swim fee dues amount.  Additional charges for banquets, swim caps, and other miscellaneous fees will be billed separately and you will receive a bill (email/hard copy) after the 10th of each month.  If you have not paid by the 45th day after the billing, you will be notified by written notice that your swimmer may not attend practice or swim in a meet until the account is current.

5. All balances for all swimmers should be cleared by September 1, February 1 and July 1 unless direct petition is made to the Board, or the swimmer(s) will not be allowed to practice or swim in meets.  This includes State Meet.
