HOW TO JOIN
Families should contact a Kare Youth League office and find the time of activities for their child’s age group.

• Fill out an Information Form in the office nearest them.

• Experience the program as a visitor – The best way to understand Kare Youth League is for them to try it. After the child has attended a practice, they will receive a team assignment. This will not always be with the team they first practiced with since boys and girls are assigned on a needs basis to keep balanced teams. We try to keep friends and schoolmates together as much as possible, so
if the child has a friend on an existing team, please let us know immediately.

• Attend a Parent Conference – These are mandatory meetings that give members an overview of the entire Kare Youth League Program. There is also a chance to ask questions about the program. Please contact the local Kare office for the next scheduled conference time.

• Complete the Financial Registration Form – Families have the following choices of how to pay their membership fee: (See the Kare Finance Sheet for the proper amount)
a. through an automatic checking deduction or
b. by paying for the first quarter when they submit the financial Registration Form and by being billed at the beginning of each quarter thereafter

• Purchase the uniform. We sell the uniform for the sport in season in each of our offices.

What is the price of this investment in your child’s future? The actual cost of the Kare Youth League program is over $1, per child per year. We ask member families to pay about 60% of that with friends and former members providing additional support.

Kare realizes that it would be difficult for parents to pay the annual fee in one lump
sum, so there is a plan to spread the cost over the course of the year. Kare has also developed successful fund raising programs to help members support their own program. The following were the fees and quotas in place for the 2006-7 year. Please contact your local Kare office or Leader for the most recent fees and quotas:

Here’s how the plan works:

• Membership Fee – $20 per month per member if using the Automatic Payment
Method or $100 per member if paid at the beginning of each quarter. (See the Kare
Finance Sheet for multiple family members)

• Monthly – Parents are asked to contribute a minimum of $20 for one child and $30 when two or more children are in the program. These donations are a critical part of what keeps Kare Youth League operating. Parents may contribute by either paying in a Kare office, by returning a check in the special envelopes provided, or by signing up for the automatic donation on the Registration form. Kare prides itself on a large percentage of parents making a regular contribution,
and is working towards having 98% of all families contribute at least some amount.

• Two times a year – Each member participates in fund raising events:
1. Selling $150 worth of tickets for Kare’s Annual Circus and Carnival in June.
2. Selling Football Showcase tickets at $1 each. There are specific quotas
depending on the child’s age.

• OR… in lieu of selling campaigns, a family may choose to pay a $150 fee per
child plus their Football Showcase Quota(s).

• Note: Some quotas are less for younger children and for families with more than
one child in Kare Youth League.

• Important Note: An additional fee of $20 will apply to those who are
re-registering.
