Team Fees & Other Costs
Team Fees: The cost for Santa Cruz Waves Baseball Club runs at cost for the two month season. The seasons for the 9U-12U divisions run for 2 months (August & September) while the 13U-18U division run for 3 months (August, September & October). Waves Baseball is run by the SC Sports Foundation, a non-profit. The costs for each team is the sum of tournament fees, practice field costs, equipment and insurance.
Uniform Fees: Each family/child will be responsible for purchasing their own uniform. We have a Wilson Team Store set up to make that process as painless as possible. The cost for each set of uniforms is approximately $115.00 (you’ll need 2 different color uniform tops at $45 each plus a hat that costs around $25) but you’ll need pants, belts and socks as well. More uniform information is below.
Other Costs: There are 6 tournament weekends in a season, with many of them within day-of driving distance (See below for dates and locations). The only other costs to consider are potential travel expenses depending on where tournaments are located and your method of travel.
Uniforms
Each player and family will be sent a link to order their jersey’s and hats. The program also receives a discount on Wilson Gloves and Louisville Slugger bats.
