 Re: Fall Sports Tryout Information

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! We’re excited to share important information regarding fall sports tryouts. Whether your student is a returning athlete or joining Marist for the first time, we look forward to a great season ahead.

Athletic Fee Information

$150 Athletic Fee
 All student-athletes participating in an IHSA-sanctioned sport are subject to a one-time $150 athletic fee.

  • This fee is charged only once per year, regardless of how many sports a student plays.
  • It will be added to tuition for all rostered student-athletes once they make a team.
  • Funds help support our 30+ athletic programs in the areas of coaching, recruitment and retention, facility upgrades, transportation, and certified training coverage.

We appreciate your support of Marist Athletics.
