  • Check the Yankee website (http://www.yankee.org/roster/tdlist.pdf) to see that all of your players have Yankee memberships for this year.
  • If a player doesn't have a yankee membership:
    • She goes to the Yankee website to renew the membership or make a new one. Start here (http://www.yankee.org/administration/membershipApplication.php^{Image Removed}) to do either of those things.
    • The cost is $50: $25 will be paid by the club, and $25 by the player.
    • You do not pay online when you apply for membership, the fees will be paid when you get to your first tournament.
    • Print out the confirmation email for your membership and bring to the first tournament with your money.
    • Captains must contact Lindsey Gilman (
      - Right now, for this coming weekend's tournaments, we are having the captains (Vivian & Laurie) pay for the club's portion of the fees and then I will reimburse them after the fact. This way only one reimbursement per tournament will need to be submitted.
      - If the captains contact me in time lgilman@mit.edu) for new players who need memberships (at least 2 weeks in advance), I and she can get checks cut for the players and reimbursements will not be needed to be done. But this can only be done if I have plenty of time to submit a request to get checks cut.
      - I am placing envelopes in the locker for the captains to grab before tournaments now that has a list of all the players for that tourny and what each person needs to pay..  Otherwise you must pay out of pocket and get reimbursed by Lindsay.
