The club will simply charge more by the amount of the tryout fee.
Example: club wants a profit of $100 on a gross of $1000.
Tryout 100
Winter league 100
Spring $100
Team tuitionb 700

Gross income $1, 000
Minus expenses 900
Net $100

If you refund the tryout cost they will faise the tuition by $100 so th they will still make their nut. Its just like corporate taxes, if the rate goes up they just pass the increase onto the consumer.
