The Sponsor Fee is the initial fee paid by all teams at registration to reserve their spot in the league. All teams pay both the sponsor fee AND the team fees, regardless of whether or not a team has procured a sponsor. The Non-Resident Fee applies to all players who reside outside the boundaries of the Ann Arbor Public School District.
Team rosters and fees are due by 5:00 PM on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. Anything submitted after this date will be assessed a late fee of $2.00 per player. DOWNLOAD A TEAM ROSTER HERE!
Rec & Ed accepts credit and debit cards, money orders, certified and corporate checks. A personal check will only be accepted from the team’s manager whose name appears on the registration form. Checks should be made out to Ann Arbor Public Schools. Special arrangements need to be made to drop off a check, since the office is not open to the public.
