Fees (Club and Team)

TFA’s fee system is broken into “Club Fees” and “Team Fees.” See explanations below:

Below are details of the club fees for the 2024-2025 seasons as well as an explanation of each program. Fees are the same as the ’23-24 season.

Youth Development Program – birth years 2017-2016 (U8 & U9):

TFA’s main focus of our youth program is to create an atmosphere and an environment in practice and competition where players are challenged to be creative and solve problems. The main focus is on individual player development rather than team development or tactical priorities at these young ages. The development of technically superior soccer players is at the forefront of our player development curriculum.

Club Program – birth years 2015-2006 (U10 – U19):

TFA’s second tier teams compete at local and state levels. These teams receive coaching/training from qualified staff and will provide an opportunity for players to play competitive soccer while juggling other priorities. Players are expected to participate in two training sessions per week in the spring/fall. Participation on one of these teams will also provide (recommended) opportunities for additional winter and summer training. Players who have the desire to move to the next level of competition will be given the opportunity to work on improving their individual technical and tactical performance.

Premium Program – birth years 2015-2006 (U10 – U19):

TFA’s top competitive teams are composed of advanced players participating at the highest levels of competition: The National League (E64 and E64 RL), Great Lakes Conference, (GLC), Ohio Soccer State League (OSSL), Buckeye Premier League (BPYSL), and upper divisions of the Cardinal Premier League (CPL).

Placement of teams within the various leagues and divisions is determined by the age of the team, performance of the teams as indicated by league standings, and other criteria.

Players must be committed to year-round soccer training. Players will be expected to participate in two to three training sessions per week in the spring/fall as well as additional technical training sessions as deemed necessary by the head coach. The number of practices and the requirement for attendance at practices and games will necessitate a very high degree of dedication on the part of all team players and their parents.

Additional Notes about fees:

**  Club fees include league fees, player cards, coaching/training, field and facilities maintenance and equipment, some field rental, and league referee coordinator fees.  Club fees are paid directly to the club via online payment.

** The Yearly Fee includes payment for the Fall and Spring seasons for 2017-2011 teams.  2010-2006 teams have only one select season (beginning in November), with the exception of the 2010 age group that may also have an additional fall season for “trapped 8th graders” and freshmen who do not play for their HS team.  

** Winter training (all ages) and Speed & Agility (U11 and up) is included for all teams.

** Team fees are not reflected above.  Team fees vary by team and include:  league referee fees, tournament entry fees, coach travel fees, field rental fees, equipment, and other costs specific to the team.  Team fees are paid via check/cash/Venmo to the Coach or Team Administrator.  Each player on the team pays the same amount for team fees, regardless of player availability for games/tournaments. Guest players for tournaments do not pay to play, the tournament fees will have been covered by the rostered players.

2024-2025 Club Fees

* Families have the option to pay in full, or select an installment payment plan.  If the installment payment plan is selected, a nonrefundable deposit is required and there is a $3 per month service charge.  The remaining balance, after the nonrefundable deposit is paid, will be divided equally amongst the installments.  Payments are auto deducted from your credit card on the following dates:  7/15, 8/15, 9/15, 11/15, 1/15, 2/15, 3/15.

**  The U15 age group is unique in that some of these players are in 8th grade and some are in high school.  The 8th grade students will play with TFA in the fall, whereas, the high school students can play with their high school team in the fall.  For the 8th grade players (or possibly high school players) that will be playing with TFA in the fall, this is an additional season on top of the ‘normal’ high school select season.  There is an additional fee associated with this fall season.  The yearly fee for these players in the GotSport registration system will combine the fall fee of $490 along with the regular high school select fee.
