Do we have to pay for players in the fall and the spring?
- Player fees are annual, so clubs pay for each player one time a year. In the spring, clubs are responsible to pay for any new players.
If a player plays recreational soccer in the fall and then select soccer in the spring, do we have to pay for them again?
- Clubs will need to pay the difference in the between the recreational fee and the select fee in the Spring season.
If a player is multi-rostered to two teams, do we have to pay twice?
- No, clubs will only pay one fee. If the player is rostered on a recreational team and a select team, then clubs would pay the select fee for the player.
What does the player fee cover?
- U.S. Soccer and US Youth Soccer both receive part of the player fee from the state office to maintain membership to those organizations. Additionally, Kentucky Youth Soccer provides a secondary insurance to all properly registered players. Lastly, Kentucky Youth Soccer provides numerous benefits for players, coaches, and clubs as listed above.
