The cost is $275 for the season plus the cost of the customized RTC football jersey. If registered between 4/1/26 and 5/31/26, you will receive a $25 discount. If for whatever reason, you and/or your child decides that tackle football is not for them prior to the first game of the season, a full refund of your registration (minus the cost of jersey) will be given.
