Q: Can the Booster Club pay for a fall ball SB league? It is open to everyone.
A: Yes, a booster club can pay entry fees related to competition. Keep in mind school funds (including activity fees) cannot be used. On the Rules at a Glance:
F. EXPENSES – TRAINING AND COMPETING
1. The WIAA recognizes a distinction between training and competing. Students must pay their own expenses, including transportation, to any nonschool (out-of-season) camps, clinics, or specialized training. Schools may pay expenses and provide transportation to similar in-season activities in that sport and during unrestricted contact days in the summer.
2. A student may be reimbursed actual and necessary costs associated with competing. This may include transportation, food, lodging and entry fees.
3. A school may not become involved financially, through transportation or any other way in a student's nonschool participation outside the sport season and the five Board of Control approved unrestricted contact days in the summer. (BL – Art. II, RE – Art. IV and Art. VI) Note: Funds kept in school activity accounts are considered school funds.
