Schools determined not to let pay prevent play
"If a family or individual cannot afford the fee, the district has built in an activity fee waiver which will be offered by the district for families experiencing financial hardships," said West Chester Henderson Athletic Director Ken McCormick. "The fees were designated to be as fair and equitable as possible, and as a result fees were set at reasonable levels that will not discourage particiaption."
A school's booster club also can help facilitate a student's ability to pay the fee, as described by West Chester East boys basketball coach Eric Anderson,
"We have had kids in the past who could not afford the booster club dues so we scholarship them," Anderson said. "If it was too much to pay the $75 and booster club dues and summer league dues,

"We have a provision that if a family cannot afford the fee, then the fee will be waived and our central booster fund administration will help with the fee," said Avon Grove Athletic Director Jim Connor. "Having kids do things at events to help with the booster clubs fulfill the coaches wish list that the parents get to vote on what the money will be spent on first. An example is this year we used money to fix the scoreboard on our field."
The situation in Chester County, with most school fees priced at $75, is not as dire as in other places. In Michigan, for example, and Ohio, some fees can top out in the hundreds of dollars. One athlete helped his hometown deal with it in a very creative way. Lamarr Woodley spent more than $60,000 out of his own pocket to cover the fees for one year at his alma mater Saignaw High School.
"It provides each student an opportunity to play," Saginaw Public Schools Athletic Director Jeffrey Goodwine told Michigan TV station WJRT. "Some of the social economic problems that we're having here in Saginaw,

For right now,

The one side effect of these fees is whether or not a parent will feel entitled to having their child play,

"It is unfortunate that a family has to pay for their kids to play,
