Payment Structure Update – Fall 2026 Season

Starting with the Fall 2026 season, there will be a slight fee increase. In addition, our program will move to a 10-month payment plan, giving families the option to pay monthly. Families will still have the option to pay seasonally, divided into three payments, if they prefer.

Annual Fees (Fall, Winter, and Spring - includes tournaments)

• New Players: $2,075 + $150 uniform fee
• Returning Players: $1,975
• Both the monthly plan and the 3-payment seasonal option will cover the full annual fee.

*Fee increase explanation - The cost of youth soccer continues to rise, including expenses such as tournaments, league fees, referee fees,  and overall operational costs. While our club does receive sponsorship support to help offset these increases, it is not enough to fully absorb them without adjusting fees. Even with this change, our club remains among the most affordable options compared to neighboring programs, and families continue to receive exceptional value and quality for their investment.

Tryouts

• Held in spring to form teams for the following seasonal year
• Players may contact the Technical Director to attend evaluation practices at other times if roster space allows
