Team fee vs Individual fee

Team fee Vs Individual fee

Last year at NIRSA I went to a presentation about charging each participant X ($10) amount per semester or X ($15) for a package deal for the year. This fee will allow you to participate in every sport with 1 or 2 exceptions (Golf/Bowling/anything that an outside vendor needs to be paid).

I was wondering what schools are using individual fees and what pros and cons they have had.

Mike-

I attended this session as well, and we at CSU-Pueblo were one of the few who have gone to the play pass model.

Pros:
Increased revenue- leads to better EQ, more training, more extramural activities
Increased participation- "Already paid for it" mentality
Super easy to manage-stickers on ID
Team captains no longer responsible for seeking reimbursement for paying team fee
Reduces on site sign up-can't play without the pass

Cons:
Increased cost per participant- a perception here...pay $10 for one sport rather than $2
Increased return players- not bad, but we see a lot of the same people
Reduces on site sign up- can't grab random person to play when down a player

Overall- I highly recommend it if you can manage it. We offer a sale the first week of the semester to encourage the sale, $10 a semester, or $15 for a year, and then it goes to $20 a semester or $35 for a year.
