The Swarm strives to avoid any hidden expenses. In addition to your player fees, you should expect the following expenses for the 2010-11 club ball season:
1. You will be required to pay a jersey deposit of $100 before jerseys are distributed. You will receive your deposit back at the end of the season when you turn in your jerseys in good condition - normal wear expected. The deposit may be in the form of cash or a check. If your deposit is in the form of a check, The Swarm will hold your check as the deposit and either (a) - return it to you when you turn in your jerseys (in good condition), or (b) - deposit the check in the event you damage your jerseys or do not turn your jerseys back into the club.
2. You must provide black spandex shorts, socks, ankle protection (optional) and appropriate volleyball shoes.
3. You must get to each practice and all tournaments. If you decide to get a hotel room the night before a tournament, you will be responsible for that expense as well.
4. If your team enters any out of town or two-day tournaments, you will be expected to pay your equal portion of the coach's expenses (ex: $110 per diem divided by nine players equals $12.23 per player). Out of Town is defined as a location far enough away that a player or coach should not be expected to drive there in the morning before the tournament. The Swarm will designate which tournaments are Out of Town. An example - Topeka is not considered Out of Town - it is a reasonable drive the morning of the tournament. Springfield is considered Out of Town. The majority of tournaments will be in town.
