The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is a non-profit, all volunteer program. Our mission is to develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs which promote a fun, family environment based on AYSO’s Six Philosophies: Everyone Plays, Balance Teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching, Good Sportsmanship, Player Development
Our basic policy is that parents/guardians should finance their children's registration fee to the “extent that they are able.” In that our goal is maximum participation, a financial aid fund has been established in our region to help parents/guardians with the registration fee. Our AYSO financial aid is based on financial need of families who are not able to pay for all or part of their child's registration to participate. Because there are limited funds available, the financial aid will go to families who demonstrate the need while financial aid funds remain available.
Criteria:
1. Parents/Guardians must complete the financial application form. One application per household. (Information provided will be held in complete confidence.)
2. Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a first come, first serve basis until funds set aside have been depleted.
3. Amount and type of previous volunteerism provided by the applicant family or child may improve consideration for financial aid. Failure to meet previous volunteer commitments or lack of willingness to volunteer will also be a consideration.
4. Soccer is a team sport, and players who are granted financial assistance are expected to participate fully in the season to support their team. Players who are granted financial assistance in the past but then failed to be active participant during the season without due cause will not be eligible for future financial aid.
5. Financial aid applications should be submitted for approval.
