FEES

Accepted Answer

Club fees are determined on a year to year basis. The fees are normally announced at the club parent meeting and are due no later than the first game of the Metro season. (please see that attached Payment Plan form). Failure to timely pay the club fee or set up a payment plan will result in your child not being able to participate in practices or games. All checks should be made payable to Vandalia Youth Basketball Association, LLC or VYBA.

Question 2

GATE AND CONCESSION

Accepted Answer

All parents are required to volunteer throughout the season to help have a successful year.  Two parent volunteers are required for each home game. These volunteers work either the game clock or the gate/concession table.  When game schedules have been solidified, your child’s coach will provide more information. For those teams that play their Metro end-of-season tournament in Vandalia, volunteers are also required to support the games played at Vandalia locations. Tournament locations will be determined later in the season.
