League Fee
On December 17, 2020, Abilene City Council approved a $25 fee per participant registered in league sports activities, regardless of age, in/on City of Abilene facilities. The fee is to include a $5 per participant discount for valid City of Abilene residents.
Therefore, the following fees will be in effect for each league season (Spring, Summer, Fall, etc.) beginning February 1, 2021: $25 per Abilene non-resident participant or $20 per valid Abilene resident participant. This is per participant per league season so some participants will be paying multiple fees for various leagues and teams.
Scholarships will be awarded on an individual basis and only to players that are signing up for league play.
