ALA will not be assessing any athletic participation fees for any sports starting in the fall of 2023.

Starting this summer, ALA will be assessing a $75 summer athletic fee per athlete. This fee pays for summer workouts, training, drills, and league games. Please visit the online payment page to make a payment.

Our summer training starts on Monday, June 5. View the summer workout schedule.

We hope to see many of you on Monday!

Things to note:
  • Parents: keep in mind that students often put off hours until later, thinking they "have plenty of time" to get them done.
  • Make sure you understand the different kinds of service activities as well as the limitations and requirements.
  • You know your child best! If he/she is capable of accomplishing service hours without your assistance, great! If not, please assist your child in finding and attending service activities.
