  The Cost of Spring Travel Soccer

• Well, lets get down to it. How much does it cost to play travel soccer? The figures below are estimates, as each team may vary, based on training costs and tournament costs..

• The association fees for 2023 Spring High School Age Travel Soccer are $350. This is for teams playing Spring League only.  Travel Soccer is a commitment to the team for the spring season only. Upon accepting a position on a team you may choose one of the payment plans below.  Payment plans are for those registering prior to February 1. Your Stack Sports account address should match the billing address of the credit card you are submitting. The payment plan has a $175 commitment fee and it is not refundable. There is a service fee from Stack Sports for each transaction in the amount of $2.80. We encourage you to pay for all players at one time when possible.
  
• Single Payment Plan-The fees are payable in their entirety for the spring season at the time you accept a position on a team. $175 of the fee is a commitment fee and is not refundable.
  
• Two Payment Plan-The two payment  plan requires a $175 payment due upon accepting a position on a team and the second payment of  $175 is due by February 1st. The  installment after the first will automatically be charged to the user's card on the due date. The user will receive a payment reminder email 7 days prior to the due dates set. If you are registering after February 1 the entire fee is due at the time of registration 
  
• Volunteer Discounts are applied to the final payment of the plan.
• Team Training costs- We included training sessions with your association fee. Many teams choose at least 5 more and some more. On average the cost to a single player for addition training will be approximately $30.
• Team Tournaments-  Your team may choose to play in one, two or more tournaments per season. Most often one or two. Each tournament would cost about $40 per player.
• Uniforms are approximately $100 dollars and most often are used for two years.
• There are volunteering and scholarship opportunities for players that qualify that may help reduce the cost. Scholarships may be offered to cover up to half of the annual fee and based on financial need. Apply here.
  
• The club registration fees for spring only high school age players is $350. The additional costs for high school age teams vary depending on the which team the player is a member of.
