About Fees
Meridian understands that times are difficult. We aim to keep costs as low as possible. In fact, all of our competitive sports' participation fees remained the same this year as they were last year, except for Tennis. Because Meridian does not have our own Tennis facilities, we are subject to our tennis partner's rates, which increased more than 20% since last year. That increase is reflected in this year's Competitive Tennis participation fee. Participation fees are set based on what it costs to cover the expenses of running the sport, including coach stipends, facility fees, league fees, entry fees, uniform and equipment costs, etc.
Financial assistance for participation fees is available for those who need it. Payment plans are available for participation fees for all competitive sports experiences upon request. Discounted participation fees are available for those who request it and qualify. Financial Assistance
The $52.30 registration fee is a processing fee that covers Athletics Department overhead. It has been the same fee for several years.
