In the fall season, the competition is not associated to  the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL).  Participants only pay for equipment. Coaches volunteer their time. 

The spring season,  the Minnesota State High School League is a presenting partner of  Clay Target and there is a MSHSL State Tournament.  The league is run through the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League.  Each student must sign up on the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League by March 25, 2024.  There is a fee for registering for the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League of $35 (approximate).  This fee covers liability insurance for each student for participation and is a requirement. Students must have a gun safety training prior to the season starting.   Link to the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League. 

With the spring league having a district paid coach during the season, there is a $60 fee per student for participation. Registration must occur prior to the start of the season . Registration link - Click on the soccer ball for registration. 

Additional costs per participant include a team vest, ammunition and targets. This fee is paid on a different link in the same system as the registration. Click on the money icon to pay for participant equipment and supplies. If you already have a vest, you will not be charged for a separate one.  Those orders are made separate from ammunition and targets.  Coach Richmond works hard at finding ammunition prices at a low cost.  There is a variable supply of ammunition at any given time, so you will find variable costs. This year the cost for ammunition and targets is $318.00. Link to pay equipment and supplies. before 3/12/24
