Rhino Softball HQ FAQ

Dues cover all training aspects including; offseason training, facility membership, fall tournaments, uniforms, trainers, insurance, paid coaches for 13u-18u, etc.
Fall tournaments and uniforms are included in the below dues, however, spring/summer tournaments are a separate cost and are collected at a later date.
