The SGBA Basketball Financial Program details are the following:
- For ALL Programs: SGBA will reduce fees by 50%-100% of the full cost of the registration fee, (including the Travel fee when applicable), if the player is a recipient of a free or reduced school lunch.
- As part of the Basketball program registration process, there will be a checkbox to be marked and a code to be entered if the player has requested financial aid. Steps below detail how to get access to that code.
