FASA U11 Boys Travel Soccer Program: My Site News
FASA has moved to a per player fee structure. This has been officially approved by the board and will be in effect for our upcoming fall season (Fall 2008) - so plan accordingly. Please review the feature/benefit list below - this will highlight what is included in the per player fee. You will see a ton of benefits added (i.e. coaches paid through the club, tournament allowance, additional free training, etc.).
FASA created a fee committee that did its due diligence on what the average player pay has been paying over the past few years as a guide. We are happy to announce that our new fee fits into this average - and we have added many new benefits!
In the very near future we will open up on line registration and payment. If your tryout is prior to that, plan to use the hard copy registration form that we currently have on our website. Full instructions as well as a link to the registration page will be emailed and placed on line in the near future. Please contact your League Representative if you have additional questions. FASA will provide additional details about this program via email and on our web site soon!
In addition, our "A" teams will now be called "Elite". The A/B program will remain essentially the same as today (you can keep your "nickname") but teams will register for tournaments, events, etc. as follows:
Top Team in Age Group: FASA Elite
2nd Team: FASA Premiere
3rd / 4th teams: TBD (likely will be colors, i.e. White / Black / Red)
(more news to follow prior to fall season)
Per Player Fee and Payment Options:
U9 - U12 Elite: $375 per player (can be paid in full in June or broken up in 2 payments as follows: $175 by June 30th - $200 by July 31st)
U9 - U12 Premiere & Other: $300 per player (can be paid in full in June or broken up in 2 payments as follows: $150 by June 30th - $150 by July 30th)

Fundraising
FASA holds one mandatory fundraising event every fall which is a Pizza/Cookie dough sales event (“Joe Corbi” is the name of the company). While the event is important every year, this year it has more significance as the club is trying diligently to raise enough money to make the Field of Dreams a reality for the Fall 2010 Season. If all goes according to plan we could have our teams playing at the new complex. This is an ambitious but achievable goal. In addition to the Joe Corbi Pizza sales (the mandatory fundraiser), the club will also be sponsoring other fundraising events. Below is a rough description...
1. Joe Corbi Fundraiser Information: Each player is required to...
- Sell 15 items OR
- Buyout for $75 OR
- A combination of the two
Here's how this works. For each item your player sells the club gets $5. So at $5 profit per item, if you sell 15 items, FASA nets $75. If you have NO desire to sell, that's OK; however, you will be required to write a check for $75. The last option is to sell less than 15 items and make up the difference. In other words, if you sold 5 items, which equates to $25 for FASA, then you would make up the $50 difference by check.
2. Brick sale for Club Sponsorship (Wall of Fame) (Non Mandatory event …but cool)
FASA is selling bricks with engraved name plates which will be part of a Wall of Fame built at the Field of Dreams. FASA is offering two tiers of sponsorship. Tier I is an individual/family sponsorship for a donation of $100 and Tier II is intended for businesses at $250. All donations are tax deductible. See your team's Fundraising parent for brochures.
