TUITION
The 2023/2024 Winter Season tuition is in Playmetrics. If you have not registered yet, please go to the [Registration link]. If you have already registered for a program next winter season (thank you!)

VOLUNTEER SERVICE FEE (VSF)
The Volunteer Service Fee (VSF) is a work deposit charged to each family (not athlete) in the program. Intro and Development programs incur a $300 VSF; all other programs incur a $400 VSF ($300 + $100). The goal of the VSF is to promote volunteerism for fundraising events, races, and special projects. Volunteer service helps keep our costs down while creating community amongst members, directly benefiting each member of Team Summit Colorado. This fee is automatically added to your account upon program registration. There are many opportunities to volunteer for TSC during the season in return for a VSF refund.

DISCOUNTS
Referrals:  When you refer a new family to Team Summit Colorado and they enter your name during the registration process, you will receive a $200 credit in your Playmetrics account.

Siblings: For registered siblings, the discounts are as follows (please send membership@teamsummit.org an email when registering more than 2 athletes so the discounts can be applied):

  • 3rd athlete in family - 10% discount off the lowest tuition
  • 4th athlete in family - 15% discount off the 2nd lowest tuition
  • 5th athlete in family - 20% discount off the 3rd lowest tuition

 

Ski Passes/Woodward: Woodward, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Vail Resorts offer discounted season passes for Team Summit athletes. This does not extend to non-registered siblings or parents. The discounted passes are available in November. If you choose to purchase your athlete's pass on your own (without a discount) prior to November, the resorts will refund you the difference once the  Team Summit discounted passes are released. These passes are purchased directly from the resort pass offices. For Copper Mountain Pass Discounts an individual Code will be assigned to each athlete that is presented to Guest Services. For Vail Resorts and Arapahoe Basin Pass Discounts, a signed letter by the Team Summit Executive Director will be provided to each athlete for presentation at the pass office for the discounted pass.

An exception to the “financial red-card” may be made by the Executive Director with the approval of the Executive Committee in very rare and extraordinary circumstances.

Directors are responsible to instruct their coaches and families prior to the season of the following procedures, along with providing the coaches with the necessary documents to properly complete their responsibilities. The Business Manager will provide the necessary documents and procedural outline to the directors prior to the season. Directors will be asked to review and maintain a list of their programs’ competitions weekly via a provided Competition Tracking sheet. This will allow the administrative staff to plan and assist the directors in submitting complete material according to the procedural timeline.

Athletes that compete in programs whereby Competition Expenses are not included in their tuition shall be responsible for their allocable share of these expenses. The Directors shall at the beginning of the season provide program athletes and the Business Manager a list of all competitions that are included as part of the program tuition. This means any competition not on the list is subject to the Competition Expense policy.

In most cases, athletes will be responsible for their own meals, lift tickets and competition entry fees. Athlete lift tickets and competition entry fees will be paid in accordance with the published procedures and deadlines for the specific events.

Competition Expenses consist of; coaches travel expenses, (i.e. mileage, per diems for food, airfare, etc.), local team travel (i.e. rental vehicles, fuel, public transportation etc), if applicable, team meals or food paid by Team Summit, other expense for athletes paid by Team Summit and a 5% Administrative Processing Fee.

The Competition Expenses will be summarized 7 days prior to the competition for the families review. Those athletes wishing to participate must register and provide Team Summit with valid credit card information that will be stored in a secure third-party payment system. Those athletes registered for the competition will be invoiced for their applicable share of the competition expenses. The detailed final invoice will be provided to the family within 5 days of the completion of the competition. Unless there is an objection from the family, payment will then be made 5 days following the date of the final invoice.

There will be no refunds for failing to participate but substitutions of other Team Summit qualifying athletes may be allowed.
