Player Fee for the Basketball Season:
Team Uptop will be charging a fee for the season to cover the cost of coaches, instruction, jersey, etc. In an effort to make sure every athlete has a chance to play, scholarships are available. Our fees are significantly lower than other basketball clubs in the state. The fee is $300 for the season which covered uniforms, coaches, practices and instruction. We are currently working on obtaining corporate sponsorships which would further help address tournament registration costs for the 2024-25 season.
Are fee waivers available?
