Payment Information

• In order to participate in practice/games, or to qualify for financial assistance, the families' Athletics account must reflect a zero balance and all current fees must be paid in full

    • Tax credit receipts are mailed out in January for donations made the previous year. Tax credit donations must specify Kyrene Athletics at the time of tax credit donation in order to apply the amount to a student athlete's sport. If you a family wants their tax credit donation to apply to both athletics and their student athlete's school, they will need to make two separate donations.
