FCS covers more than 75% of the cost of our athletics program. Our registration fees help offset the cost of facilities, officials, coaches, and equipment. For teams that need uniforms, each athlete will purchase their own or a fundraiser can be organized by the team to purchase uniforms. Each team is expected to conduct one fundraiser to help cover the cost of its season. Additionally, families who participate with us through The Comenius School will pay an additional $50 per sport per athlete.
