If your athlete has already played and paid for 2 sports this year, they need not pay any additional fees. The ASB card and Sports fees can be purchased online through Online Payments & choosing "Items at Student's School" then "Sports".
If your student has not paid for an ASB card (their student ID will reflect an ASB sticker if they have purchased one) or paid the sports fees, they will not be allowed to practice or play in games.
