HERE IS WHAT IS PROVIDED FOR YOUR CLUB DUES:
- All Coaching Fees
- All Team Training Fees
- All Goalkeeper Training Fees
- 10-month calendar (August - May)
- 2-3 practices per week depending on age group & game schedule rhythm.
- Speed & Agility Training Fees
- A full new PUMA uniform kit (2 jerseys, 2 shorts, 2 socks, a training t-shirt & training bag)
- Each team is provided a bag of PUMA Training/Game balls.
- FYSA Player Registration Fee

- Referee Fees for all League Games
- Club Overhead Costs (field maintenance, field equipment, lights, administrative expenses, website, etc.)
Depending upon the age and playing level of a team, there may also be Team expenses (which are items not covered by Club Dues). Those items may be: Tournament Registration Fees, coach travel expenses for away tournaments, StateCup/Region Cup, referee fees for non-league games, special events your team may want to participate in, etc. Your Coach or Team Manager will provide information to you about any team expenses for your child’s team. Additionally, during the season the club provides fundraising opportunities to Fusion families to help offset these team expenses.
CLUB DUES *:
U9 & U10: $595 + a reimbursable $80 Volunteer Fee
U11 & U12: $895 + a reimbursable $80 Volunteer Fee
U13 & Up: $995 + a reimbursable $80 Volunteer Fee
* For the 2011-2012 season, we have eliminated the previous requirement that each team sell one or more $425 field banners (1 for U9-U11 & 2 for U13+) thereby reducing team expenses.
NOTE: If comparing Fusion FC Club Dues to fees posted by other area clubs, please ensure that those fees are all inclusive of the items listed above as they are with the Fusion FC. Some clubs post registration fees, but then have added (and not well advertised) costs such as additional fees for the uniform, added fees for coaches and/or trainers or referee fees. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.
VOLUNTEER FEE:
Volunteerism is an essential and wonderful element to the success of the Fusion Futbol Club. Although we would love to have all families involved with all the great club activities throughout the season, we appreciate that not everyone has the ability or the time to volunteer. This season an $80 volunteer fee will be assessed up front for each player. For those that do not wish to volunteer, nothing further will be required by the club.
For those that would like to volunteer and/or would like to have their $80 Volunteer Fee reimbursed, all you will need to do is volunteer just 8 hours this season and your $80 fee will be reimbursed to you. Throughout the season, volunteer opportunities will be posted on the "Volunteer Opportunities" page (link found in the left margin of the Fusion home page).
REGISTRATION & PAYMENT DUE DATES:
Once a coach offers a competitive roster position to a player, in order to accept and lock-in acceptance, players need to be registered online. Until that step is done, the player’s position will not be guaranteed and a uniform cannot be ordered.
Families have 2 options to pay their Club Dues:
Option 1 - you can pay at the time of registration the full amount listed in the Club Dues section above (which includes the non-refundable commitment fee of $225 for U9 & U10 and $300 for U11+) or
Option 2 - you can pay in four (4) installment payments where the non-refundable commitment fee is the first of those payments and the balance is paid over the next three payment dates: 7/15/11, 8/15/11 & 9/15/11. We offer this extended payment option to help families fit it into their monthly budgets. Because the Fusion FC staff expends additional time tracking & collecting incremental payments, the payment plan option includes an added $5 convenience fee with each payment (a $20 convenience fee total). Note: There is no convenience fee added if club dues are paid in one payment at the time of registration - Option 1 above.
See 4-payment plan breakdown below.

ONLINE REGISTRATION:
During tryouts, if your child is offered a roster spot, the coach will provide them with the online access information to the registration system. That system will give you the ability to register your child(ren), provide yours & their information and provide uniform size choices (sizing samples will be available at each tryout session). We will also have the ability to accept credit & debit cards as well as payments by cash, check or money order for each of the payment due dates outlined above.
