Registration Policy

Children and families that miss too many days forfeit their spot and it will be given to another family in need of support. We understand that kids will need to miss due to doctor appointments, etc., so we will require notice.

A child’s spot may be forfeited if the attendance policy is not adhered to.

REGISTER YOUR CHILD TODAY. LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE.

FREE PLAY PROGRAM COSTS

Free to Play operates with a “contribute what you can” membership basis. You can contribute 0% to 100% of the program costs.

So, how do you know how much to contribute? 

Below you will find the exact program expenses per school. Review them and when registering make a selection based on your needs.

We believe people are good and trust folks to be honest.

By contributing a higher percentage, you allow us to maximize the sponsorship, grant, and donation dollars that fund the program and help us reach youth without as much support. However, if a contribution is not accessible to you, no problem, the program is free.

Our goal is to be open to any youth who wants to experience supportive coaching and mentorship. We also believe the best teams, programs, and communities require people from different backgrounds who all support each other.
