Pay-to-Participate Guidelines for Parents and Students

The Anthony Wayne Local Schools Board of Education has adopted a Pay-to-Participate policy for the District’s athletics programs. The following fee structure for participating in athletic programs at Anthony Wayne Junior High and Anthony Wayne High School begins with the 2024-2025 school year.

• Families with multiple students in AW athletics programs will have fees waived for any additional sport exceeding a $450 per year cap. (Limited to immediate family members within the same household.)

• All fees must be paid before your child’s first game or match. Payments can be accepted starting today, however please do not pay your fees until your child has officially made the team.

• Pay-to-Participate Exceptions:

Cheer: Only one pay-to-participate fee is required for athletes who cheer both in the fall and winter seasons. This payment is due before the first football game.

• Swim and Dive: There is no paid coach position for this program and no school transportation provided, therefore there are no pay-to-participate fees.

• Payments: Fees can be paid electronically through FinalForms or cash/check (payable to Anthony Wayne Schools) at the AWHS Cashier’s Office starting August 1, 2024. Do not pay your participation fee directly to your child’s coach.

• The pay-to-participate program does not guarantee playing time. 

• Fees are not refundable. Athletes who quit, are injured, move out of District or who are denied participation for disciplinary reasons will not be reimbursed.

• Generals Athletics Scholarships: A limited number of fee scholarships are available through the AW Athletics Boosters and other donor sources. Families with a financial need may contact the Athletics Office for more information. 

Athletic Physicals

All student-athletes MUST have forms completed electronically in FinalForms and a physical completed by the official start date of their chosen sport (August 1 for fall athletes.) Once a physical has been completed by a physician, the form can be delivered to the drop box near the Athletics entrance at the high school. 

Physical Event Information
Athletics physicals can be completed at most well care visits with your child’s doctor. If you are unable to make an appointment, ProMedica is offering two physical clinics for athletes. The cost is $35. Please bring your physical forms.

• June 20, 2024 at Wildwood, 5:00 p.m.

• July 11, 2024 at Wildwood, 5:00 p.m.
