  "Providing Positive Life Experiences Through Sports"
 

  1. Lodging, transportation, tournament fees, gym rental and AAU registration fees are included.  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE TAKE CARE OF THEIR FINANCIAL BUSINESS TO PREVENT A TEAM FROM HAVING THEIR SEASON SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF INSUFFIENT FUNDS.  We will hold firm to our word of not allowing a player or team to play if their account is not up to date.  NOTE:  These fees do not include transportation and lodging expenses for the national tournaments.  We will address the national tournaments after we determine which national tournament each team will participate in.
  2. Parents can begin making payments for their child beginning on October 1st.  To show their commitment to play, all players that register must pay $50 on their account within 30 days of registering on the website or your name will be removed from the roster. 
  3. If anyone has an extenuating financial circumstance, we are asking you to consult with Coach Rod, Ed, or Daryl before that player or that team’s season is suspended.  We have other avenues, i.e. fundraising ideas; you can pursue to raise the necessary funds to support your child.

The key to OUR success is EVERYONE GETTING INVOLVED and not just giving us your money.  If more people will get INVOLVED we can lower the cost to play for EVERYONE!!

  1. Please do not confuse the ability to pay with the player demonstrating his commitment to the team or to achieving his personal goals.  However, communication with the organization regarding a potential hardship demonstrates the commitment.  Returning players MUST clear any outstanding debts from this past season as well. 
  2. Payments can be made through the website by using Paypal or you can mail them to:

SAN ANTONIO ROHAWKS
P. O. BOX 2051
UNIVERSAL CITY, TX 78148 

We have always prided ourselves on giving kids the opportunity to continue as RoHawks once they begin.  However, we cannot guarantee a spot for any kid if we don’t receive a response.  Therefore, a negative reply will be taken as a statement of not returning.   In closing, we also want to reemphasize the importance of communicating and encourage everyone to contact Coach Rod with your intent to play next year, including ANY UNSIGNED SENIORS that would like to participate, your feedback regarding this past season and your ideas on how we can make this organization more appealing for you and your child to be associated with.    Once again, we welcome your recommendations, comments, and concerns.  We are excited about the prospects of having another successful season in 2009.  Thanks!

                 

Respectfully,
