2023-2024 Fee Structure Baseball/Fastball Skills Academy

Registration fees partially offset the operational costs to successfully run the academies (ie. facilities, skills expert wages, National or Provincial sports organization fees, transportation and equipment). Given the sport itself and the facilities used, the registration fees vary between the sports academies that are offered.
