MNS Financial Policy

Payment or Commitment Fee and Registration Fee will be brought to your swimmers first practice. Checks written to “Minnesota Synchronettes” or “MNS”
Fees may be paid monthly, quarterly or for the entire season. Most families pay monthly. A Quickbook account will be set up for you by our bookkeeper.
All Registered families are responsible to pay for the full season of fees. Payments sometimes extend to the month past practicing.
Payments are spread out across 6, 9 or 11 months. This means you may have a payment dues in a month you don't swim in.
Your monthly payment is due by the 10th of each month. A late fee of $25 may be added to any installments not paid by the due date.
If a bill is unpaid the bookkeeper will email a reminder invoice. If unable to pay it is the family’s responsibility to contact the Administrator and Bookkeeper to discuss a plan. Swimmers may be unable to attend practice and/or meets if bills are not paid in a timely manner.
Commitment Fees are paid in September for Nationally Competitive Teams. If commitments are fulfilled, the swimmer competes through the Junior Olympics, then the fee paid in September will be deducted from the last payment (July) of the season. (Nationally Competitive Teams only)
For the benefit of their teams, swimmers are encouraged to attend all scheduled practices for their team. No credit will be given for missed practices.
We make every attempt to maintain our schedules, but severe weather, COVID restrictions or unforeseen facility closures sometimes cause cancellation. We do not issue fee credits if weather or closures interrupt our schedule.
We do not issue fee credits for missed practices due to illness or vacation.
