Players planning on trying out for one of our travel teams in June should NOT register for recreational soccer in May. Any player who does not make one of our travel teams or chooses not to accept an offer to play on one of our travel teams will be provided an opportunity to register for recreational soccer at the conclusion of the tryouts. The player’s team placement will not be impacted by their post tryout registration.

Payment / Refunds

SPORTS will not release player registration forms to FSC until full payment received in the SPORTS office or a scholarship has been granted due to financial hardship. SPORTS registration, IYS player registration, and uniform
fees are not refundable.

Registered players may become unable to meet their commitment to play. Therefore, refunds will be made available according to the following schedule:

May through June 26, 2010. Full-year or fall-only players may obtain a refund through SPORTS.
After June 26, 2010. Refund requests for full-year or fall-only will only be considered for hardship cases including player injury, relocation, and financial hardship. Requests will be reviewed and authorized by the Director
on individual case basis.
January through February 11, 2011. Spring-only players may obtain a refund through SPORTS.
After February 11, 2011. Refund requests for hardship cases including player injury, relocation, and financial hardship will be reviewed and authorized by the Director on individual case basis.

Fall-Only players deciding to re-register in January for the spring session are expected to pay the entire spring registration fee; there will be no uniform discount and no commitment regarding team placement.
