WHERE DO YOUR REGISTRATION DOLLARS GO?
For years we have always received requests from parents who want to know why registration costs so much, or what does the money pay for. Below is the breakdown. If you are not aware, FTYSA is a nonprofit, volunteer organization. Everything we do, or attempt to do, is paid for from the fees paid by you and our local sponsors. As a board we are always looking at ways to keep the costs as minimal as possible without jeopardizing the programs being offered to the children. We are continually looking at ways to reduce fees every year, but with rising costs of services and materials, this is not an easy task. Please feel free to offer any suggestions that could benefit the organization and our membership. Thank you for your understanding.

* FUNDRAISER
The fundraiser paid for at registration is used to pay for site improvements. The reason we make it a mandatory buyout is to combat the difficulty experienced with trying to collect any money after the season is underway.
