ERDBA will fund 25% of youth team entry fee into an ERDBA member event (up to 2 teams from each club per event) - submit request to erdba.net@gmail.com for ERDBA subsidy.
"YS" events agreed to match the ERDBA funding (teams must arrange credit directly with event)...which means 50% discount to the youth teams!!!
 ERDBA YOUTH FUNDING ​subsidy requests should be submitted to treasurer: erdba.net@gmail.com and contact event directly for the matching funds.
