*Tournament fees are expenses that a family could encounter for travel, lodging, and/or additional tournaments not covered by WCU. WCU covers three team tournaments per soccer year. Other fees that may be added to a player's account may include, and are not limited to, player transfer fees, state fees, team fees, etc.

WCU partnered with Capelli to provide quality and affordable gear. Each player is required to purchase a game kit and a training kit. Players must bring a ball to every training session. Uniform ordering information will be provided for each player upon registration and you are required to place orders directly through our uniform provider.

When is the $300 registration fee due?
The $300 initial registration fee serves as the deposit to reserve your player’s position on a team for seasonal year 2023/2024. The registration payment is due by July 1st, or upon acceptance of the offer to join the team.

Are there any additional costs?
Additional expenses are primarily incurred by our older and/or competitive teams. Families are responsible for other costs associated with travel soccer, such as: additional tournament fees (beyond the number of tournaments allotted by WCU), travel expenses (including, but not limited to, travel, lodging, and meals), and the cost of the coach’s travel (travel & lodging). Fundraising by each team to offset additional costs is strongly encouraged.

Does WCU offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer parents the option to pay the remainder of the annual dues through one of two payment plans:

Five installments due the 1st of August, October, December, February, April.
Monthly installments due the 1st of every month, August through May.

What do my dues cover?

As a non-profit organization, WCU fees are not constructed to generate any sort of profit. All our fees go directly to operating the organization. As such, it is important that payments be remitted on time to the club.

The fees cover the following expenses:

Coach & Staff Salaries
Administrative Fees
State Association & League Fees
Tournaments (3-tournaments/futsal depending on the age group)
Field Usage
Insurance
Referee Fees
Scholarships

Does WCU offer scholarships?
Yes! WCU offers need-based scholarships to assist families with the cost of the annual dues. WCU DOES NOT OFFER FULL SCHOLARSHIPS.

How do I apply?
Scholarship applications can be submitted via the registration form:
