Athletic Fees and Changes to Winter Sports for 2010-2011 Season

• A $100 per sport, per student Athletic Administration Fee (AAF) will be charged for participation in all VHSL athletics. [Note that payment of Athletic Administration Fee does not guarentee participation in swim meets. The coaches will continue to determine who swims and which events.]
• The funds collected from the AAF will directly support the Student Activities and Athletics Program (SAAP) budget which exceeds $21 million system wide.
• The drill team supplement has been eliminated. Many schools use this supplement to support a dance team sponsor.
• Winter cheer has been eliminated (fall sideline and competitive cheer will continue)
• Swim practices using Fairfax County Park Authority pools have been reduced by one day (from 4 days per week to 3). 
• Significant modifications will be made to the current athletic transportation protocols. Transportation will continue to be provided.

• The AAF will be waived for students who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals.
• There is no relationship between the AAF and a guarantee of student playing time. Playing time is at the sole decision of the Head Coach and his/her staff.
