How do we compare in terms of pricing? We'll show you!
Yearly dues? | One, all inclusive, $850 flat rate (or free with fundraising!). No additional costs. Period. | Of course. And that's just to make the team. |
Can you offset dues with fundraising? | Absolutely! You can offset 100% of your yearly dues just by fundraising! Tax deductible business sponsorships are also welcome. | No, fundraising is on top of your registration fees. |
Tryouts covered? | Yes, you aren't paying anything until you make the team. | Tryout fees, even if you don't make the team. |
What about tournament fees? | The Home School World Series, and all regular season tournament registration fees are covered by the yearly dues! | Additional. Minimum $40 per player just to go to the Home School World Series in addition to organization-required expenses in some cases. |
Any mandatory fundraising? | No. You give as you see fit. | Yes. Most require mandatory fundraising events and/or sponsored minimum wage jobs. You may be encouraged to add hundreds...thousands per year in fundraising. Not to mention the hours spent. |
So there has to be a catch...right?There's no catch, we play a 35-40 game schedule against the same competitive, private and public schools as the other home school teams in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area. Our practices are on turf fields, so weather plays less of a factor then other organizations and schools. And our indoor facility is top notch and a perfect fit for our organization especially when the weather does present an issue.
So how can you afford to keep prices down?
TACA takes serious the responsibility to be good stewards of the resources that we receive from families, through fundraising, and through corporate sponsors. We have been blessed to offer an authentic high-school experience at a competitive price while also offering assistance to those who may not otherwise be able to afford to get on the field.
