Paying your dues & fees

Some leagues track registration fees or ongoing per-player dues right in League Sage and let you pay online; others track the same balances in the app but still collect payment outside it (cash, check, Venmo, whatever your league prefers). Which one applies is up to your league — this page covers what you’ll see either way.

Who can do this

Any player who owes recorded dues or a fee. The Your dues card itself doesn’t depend on your league using online payments — it shows up whenever your league has recorded a balance for you, online payments or not. Only the Pay online button depends on that setting. Nothing shows up here at all if you don’t currently owe anything, or if your league isn’t tracking dues in the app in the first place.

Steps

If you owe a season fee or dues, a Your dues card appears on your dashboard listing what you owe, per team or season.
If your league has online payment turned on for that charge, you’ll see a Pay online button next to the amount. Tapping it takes you to a secure payment page (hosted by Stripe) to enter your card — you’re returned to League Sage afterward and your balance updates.
If your league also has payment instructions written up (say, “bring cash to game night” or a Venmo handle), those show right below the amount instead of, or alongside, the pay button.
Some leagues also list an “Other ways to pay? Email …” contact — use that if you’d rather not pay online, or you have a question about your balance.
Once you’re paid up, the card simply reads “Paid — thank you!” instead of an amount.
If you’re registering for a new season, a required fee is worked into the registration flow itself rather than waiting for a dashboard card — see Create your account.

Understanding your registration total

The advertised Registration Fee is the same base for team players, free agents, and captains. Your captain can select team upgrades, such as Premium shirts +$10 per player. The review and registration status screens list the base, discounts, selected upgrades, processing, and any account credit separately.

If your organizer enables Consolidate bill, your registration fee, upgrades, and processing appear on one team invoice. You’ll see Billed to your team before creating your account and on your registration status. You have nothing to pay individually for that registration, and your account credit stays available. Your captain can pay online or share a payment link with a sponsor; an administrator can record an offline payment. Earlier individual payments or credits remain separate and are not automatically refunded. If you paid as a free agent before placement, your recorded price is preserved when you join a team.

Track your registration status

After registering for a season, visit your personal registration status page to see a step-by-step checklist of everything you need to do — sign waivers, verify your ID (if required), pay any fee, and wait for team placement. Each step shows its status, and only the first incomplete step includes an action button. The page automatically updates when you return to your browser window, so you don’t need to manually refresh.

Your payment history

League Sage also keeps a complete record of every payment you’ve made — whether online via card, recorded offline (cash or Venmo by your admin), or marked paid as part of registration. You can find this in the Payments page, linked from the Your dues card on your dashboard (“Payment history →”) or from your profile (Account section).

The Payments page has two sections:

Pending lists anything you still owe right now, across seasons, org events, and tournaments. If your league has online payments turned on, each pending item has a Pay now button that takes you securely to Stripe; otherwise, you’ll see your league’s payment instructions (like “bring cash to game night”) and contact info if they prefer another method.
History shows every payment you’ve ever made: when it was processed, which season or event it was for, the amount, and a status label (Paid, Refunded, Partially refunded, or Covered by …). Newest transactions appear first, and dates are shown in Eastern Time.

Good to know

A captain paying your dues and your own checkout cover the same balance. Starting a replacement checkout closes older overlapping ones. If a payment still arrives after the balance was covered, it stays in your payment history and you and your admins receive a notice to review it for a refund.
The dues card only appears once there’s actually something to pay — no balance, no card.
The base Registration Fee is shared by all roles. Team upgrades appear separately in your total, and team billing is clearly labeled when it applies.
If your league isn’t tracking dues or fees in the app at all, don’t expect to find anything here — check with your coach or captain for how they’re handling payment.
