2024-2025 Estimated Financial Commitment
There is a lot of misinformation regarding club/travel sports, specifically the reasoning behind the varying costs of different organizations. Our goal is to always keep our pricing as low as possible. The reality is, as a private club/travel program we incur certain costs just to exist that other programs such as your local rec/travel programs do not. We understand the financial commitment to play in our program can be a huge one for most but we believe the opportunity to train at great facilities, receive high level coaching, experience the best development program in the area, play in competitive events, receive the most comprehensive college recruiting program in the area and the overall experience you will have will be well worth it!
We also believe in full transparency. Therefore we have listed below our ESTIMATED 2024-2025 team player fees.
**Please note due to so many factors that go into the final cost of a team such as number of tournaments, number of players kept on a roster, etc. these are estimated costs. Because most tournament venues do not release their schedule until later fall/early winter it is impossible for us to give an exact number until we know those exact costs. We provide a range to give us room for unexpected rise in costs and flexibility to add baseball activities that we feel would provide the best experience for our families.
2024 Fall Commitment
9u -12u – $500-$700
13u – 18u – $700-$900
__________________________________________________
2025 Spring/Summer Commitment
9u -12u – $1,000-$1,300
13u – $1,500-$1,700
14u – $1,600-$1,800
15u Exposure Team – $1,800
16u – 17u/18u Exposure Teams – $1,900
Spring/Summer fees include everything EXCEPT UNIFORMS (For fall season, players will receive a shirt and hat included in their fee). Our spring/summer base uniform package typically costs less than $150 but varies from team to team. The reason we don’t include uniforms is because we do not require players to purchase uniforms year after year or items a player does not need such as pants, belt, socks, etc.
Why such an increase in cost per age group? While all our teams receive the same quality coaching and access to facilities, the events at the older age groups we attend cost more which reflects the higher cost at our older age groups. Our exposure teams mostly attend showcase events which costs almost double that of a standard tournament and receive a comprehensive recruiting package and that cost reflects what is provided. See our exposure program page for details.
Invoicing and Payment Plans
The Maryland Baseball Club understands that the financial commitment to participate in travel/club level baseball can be challenging. Therefore we offer very flexible payment options to assist with the cost. Below you will find those options.
How Our Payment Plan Works
1. During the registration process, you will Choose a Payment Plan Option that works best for you. Payment Plan Options are listed below.
2. The total cost reflected during the registration and check out process will be inclusive of both the estimated fall fee as well as the estimated spring/summer fee.
3. If you are only playing fall or spring and summer, your invoice will be adjusted after you have completed your registration and submitted your initial deposit.
4. The invoice you receive will be for the highest estimated cost of your team for both seasons. You will only be required to submit a $350 deposit at the time of registration.
Please note, we invoice for the highest estimated cost as it is easier to credit accounts than to ask for more money at a later date. It’s impossible for us to know for sure the exact amount a team will cost due to not knowing the cost of most of our expenses until later in the fall/early winter. Final costs will be determined shortly after the New Year. In some cases team costs end up being at the higher estimated number and other cases slightly lower. This may mean paying more at the beginning but having your later payments lowered. Should your fee be lower than what you are being invoiced for, a credit will be applied to your account for the difference.
5. Your deposit will be due immediately. You will then be placed on an AUTOMATED PAYMENT SYSTEM for all remaining payments. This means all payments will be automatically withdrawn from the same account used to pay your deposit.
6. Payments will be withdrawn on either the 1st or the 15th of each month depending on when you register.
Payment Plan Options Consist Of:
1. Monthly Plan
2. Bi-Monthly Plan
3. Pay Half Up Front/Other Half By February 1
All payments are due by February 1. Failure to pay by February 1 could result in your baseball activity being suspended and/or not receiving a uniform.
