7. Everyone must complete the attached registration for the 2010 season. The cost for the season is $225. The amount of $210 helps cover the expense of equipment, pool time, registration and tournament fees, referee fees, coaches' expenses (please realize that our coaches donate their time); the remaining $15 is for the player at the awards banquet at the end of the season. Make checks payable to "LHS Water Polo". Participation in a club sport such as water polo does not count toward Lincoln's maximum athletic participation fees. If your student also plans to participate in a school team winter and spring sport, you will need to pay for those separately and won't get credit for paying for water polo.
Fees are due no later than September 7. You may mail your check and registration directly to:
