Financial Aid Process

WCYSA will not deny any child the ability to play soccer based on the inability to pay. WCYSA will work diligently to meet the needs of all children by offering scholarships, fee reduction, multi-child discounts and in-kind service agreements. Financial Aid is at the sole discretion of the WCYSA Board of Directors. Aid may not be available in the form that you wish, but we endeavor to meet as many needs as possible through a variety of means.
