| What are the fees for playing on this team? Can I make
monthly payments?
Are there any fund raisers? Are they mandatory?
Now wait! I've paid my $_____, so why are we spending my precious free time fund raising at all?
How often do we practice? How long are practices?
Where are practices?
Will I have dependable transportation?
How many trips? All mandatory? If not, how many, or which ones, are mandatory?
Do parents have to go? If so, how many trips must they attend? What extra costs should my parents expect?
Will I be competitive with my teammates?
If they're much better than me, will I ever get to play?
If they're much worse than me, will I improve as much as I hoped?
Back to money: are those fees ALL that I'll owe? Are you certain? Positive? I won't be surprised later?
Will practices I miss be excused because of my commitments to my high school sport?
How about school work? if I get behind in my schoolwork for some reason, will be absences be excused?
How about my job? How about my church obligations? How about my cousin's marriage? My spring band trip?
