Fees and Team
Funding
Your first week with the
Titans is on us! After that we’ll charge you a monthly
fee for participation. We don’t prorate dues or fees and
all must be paid in full regardless of actual
participation.
We post account statements
electronically on the 21st of the each
month. Statements reflect the following activities at various
times during the year. Accounts not paid in full by the 10th
of the month are past due and may automatically accrue late fees
and may result in the forfeiture of competition and practice
privileges. If you have a question about your billing please
contact coach Shawn at sstheadcoach@comcast.net.
Annual Administration
Fee - All families pay an annual $25
administration fee. The fee is billed when you join the Titans
and on the invoice for September’s activity each year
(September is the beginning of our fiscal year). Families
whose membership is temporarily suspended during the September
billing cycle must pay the fee when they
reactivate.
Business Policies and
Procedures - A complete list of the Titans’
business policies and procedures is attached. Please read it
thoroughly.
Collections
- Although it
rarely happens, we do use a collections agency for accounts past
due more the 60 days.
Dues Increases
-
From time to time dues will be increased. The amount and
timing will be determined by the board of
directors.
Fiscal Year
- Our fiscal
year is 1 September through 31 August.
Funding
Raising - Dues alone fail to meet our
expenses. We take advantage of our non-profit corporation
status to engage in fund raising programs to meet our
expenses.
Fund Raising
Fee- Families that fail to
collect enough money through our fund raising programs during the
year, must pay the difference. The fee will be added to their
invoice for June (released on 21 May). This fee is not
prorated based on actual participation. This fee is prorated
for families new to the Titans for the first time. You will be
billed for this fee even if you are inactive at the time of
billing. You can see the amount for which you are liable on
the cover sheet of the registration package.
Late Fees
- Failure to
pay your bill on time will result in a $10 late fee on all past due
balances. Your account is due in full by the 10th
of the month.
Meet Entry
Fees - Entry fees for meets are posted to your
monthly statement. Fees are usually $3 per event and $5 per
participant surcharge, although they may vary. Our coaching
staff completes all entries, but athletes are entered in
competition only at their request. Athletes may be denied
entry if your account is past due.
Membership Fees
(Dues) - We assess monthly dues based on training
group assignments. Please visit our website for a complete
listing of our membership fees. The current dues structure is under review by
the board of directors and may soon be
increasing. The current dues
structure is:
Guppies - $61 monthly
Sharks - $71 monthly
Mid-Level - $112 monthly
Senior Prep - $143 monthly
Senior - $175 monthly
Membership Fees (Dues)
Cap - The current family monthly dues cap is $300
maximum. This policy is under review by the board of
directors and may be changing. This applies to
monthly dues only. It does not include any other
fees.
Pool Fees
- One of our
primary expenses is for practice facilities. Each family pays a $15
per month pool fee.
Reinstatement
Fees - At this time there are no reinstatement
fees for swimmers returning to activity following a period of
suspended activity.
Relay Fees
- Relays are
entered into meets based on individual swimmer entries. If
enough swimmers are available to enter a complete relay team a
relay will probably be entered. Fees for participation in
relays are billed after the meet and based on actual
participation. If a swimmer’s failure to participate on
a relay results in the relay’s scratch from the event, that
swimmer may be liable for the entire relay team entry
fee.
Resignation
Notice - We require advance notice in writing to
suspend your billing. The notice must be submitted by the
10th of the month prior when you want the resignation to
take effect. You are required to pay all fees accrued after
the 10th of the month.
Volunteer Participation
Penalties - The Titans require all families to supply
volunteer support to our events and programs. The amount of
hours of support you are required to supply will be determined by
the board of directors each year. New members can find their
support requirement on the cover page of the registration
packet. The fee for each hour of support you fail to provide
is $25.
