I signed up to join a club team sponsored by an LRS for the winter. My school doesn't have indoor. I paid $50 to join and I get a singlet and a coaching schedule and I am able to meet with other members to do workouts. I also get discounted entry fees to the races. This is more of a casual thing for me but I'll be doing a few indoor track races and road races with under this team's name. Most of the members are hobbyjoggers but there's a few guys running 14:30's. Everyone pays a fee and has the same perks.
