  • Competitive youth soccer requires a high level of commitment from players and their families. 

    To develop their soccer skills, players must demonstrate focus, motivation, and dedication. Any player who is invited to join a competitive team has truly earned the opportunity to play. 

    To support a player, a family must purchase uniforms and equipment, pay program and tournament fees, and devote significant time and funds to travel throughout the season. 

    Depending on the age/level of the player and their related team costs, the total amount per player can range from $1,500 to $3,000+. For some families in our community, this makes participation cost-prohibitive.

  • The Scholarship Fund relies on monetary donations from individuals and business organizations. We also coordinate fundraising events and activities.
