Tryouts

Sting's fees are very competitive with those of other local clubs. We recognize that playing club soccer is more expensive than recreational programs, and we offer monthly payment plans. 

2024-2025 Club Fees:

• ​Are for a full year- August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025, even if players only decide to play in the fall or spring.
• Registration fees cover the following expenses: coach stipends, all association and state fees, scheduling fees, all local and elite league fees - including referees and field rentals, player registration for IYSA and US Club Soccer, facility maintenance, insurance, and *NEW THIS YEAR* - outdoor turf rental fees are included in player registration.
• Each team determines its own expenditures, which are not covered by the Club Fees, and each team and its players are financially responsible for them (see Team Fees).

Payment Options:

Club fees can be paid by credit or debit card. A seven-equal payment plan is available.

Team Placement Announcements:

A "TEAM INVITATION" announcing team placement will be sent to your email address on or before Friday, May 24, 2024. To ACCEPT your spot, you will click the "ACCEPT INVITE" link and complete the club registration link no later than 11:59am PST, SUNDAY, May 26, 2024. Players not accepting their spot by this deadline will not be placed on a team.​

Team Fees:

The team manager calculates this amount and covers the cost of the team entering tournaments, team travel expenses, and coach travel. This amount depends on the level and age of the team (the Academy teams travel more and enter more expensive tournaments/events, so their team fees are higher). Team fees will be discussed in detail at your first team meeting.

​Uniform Kits:

Every even year, players are required to purchase a complete uniform kit. The uniform is the player's financial responsibility. 2024 is a new kit year, so all players must purchase the full kit. For more information and to purchase a uniform kit, please visit our Sting Shop.

Fundraising:

Sting has multiple fundraising events throughout the year. The revenues from these events offset club costs, provide funds for dues assistance (scholarships), and help maintain our field complex. Individual teams can offset their team fees by carrying out team fundraising. This is encouraged, especially for teams that travel extensively.

​Volunteer Hours:

The club expects every family to volunteer in a team position and a HOTSHOT Tournament assignment. Unfulfilled hours will be billed back to the player’s family. Every year, it takes a lot of people to make this tournament happen successfully, and it would not happen without our Sting families. Thank you!
