Central Ohio Elite has not published its fees
The club's website asks automated readers like ours to stay out, so we do not read it. Many clubs list fees only inside a registration portal that needs an account. What we do know comes from the club's public IRS filings, below.
Have the fee sheet? Send a photo or the PDF.
The club's price sheet or fee page, not a form or an invoice with your name on it; crop it if you need to. We read it, post the numbers here as “from a fee sheet a parent sent”, and never show the file.
