What If I Play Another Sport?
It is possible for student-athletes to participate in the Cal Stars NB Travel Season while playing another spring sport. However, Cal Stars NB requires the student-athlete to meet the following requirements:
- Over the course of the season, student-athletes must attend at least 10 practices and 4 of the 6 tournaments. Given the fact the costs for the team remain constant, the dues for the season remain the same.
Financial Aid
- Financial assistance may be available for certain circumstances of financial hardship. Families must apply and be qualified to receive assistance. The approval process will be evaluated by the Cal Stars NB administration. Full assistance is available in exceptionally rare situations.
