Sports Service Fee

Due to budget cuts, Westmont will be initiating a sports service fee of $50.00 per athlete per sport.  This service fee will cover a variety of different cost of after school sports programs, such as transportation, officials, and tournaments…etc.  Each coach, for each sport, may collect this fee.  If a circumstance arises that you are unable to pay please see or call the Athletic Director at 408-378-1500
