As we approach the start of the 2026 school year, we want to provide important information regarding the Pay-to-Play process for South Windsor High School Athletics.

• Specialized Fee: $450 per athlete for Boys Ice Hockey, Co-op Girls Ice Hockey, and Gymnastics (Family Cap: $850 per year)

Invoicing and Payment Requirements

• When to Pay:  All student-athletes selected for a CIAC athletic team must complete their payment prior to the first contest.
• How it Works:  Once rosters are finalized and it is confirmed your student made the team, you will receive an invoice via ParentSquare.
• Payment Methods:  Payments can be made immediately online through ParentSquare, or via cash/check dropped off at the High School main office.
• Important:  If the fee is not paid in full prior to the first game, the student-athlete will be ineligible to participate.
