2020 Nitro Soccer Club’s Outline for the Soccer Year
2020/2021 New Fee Structure
The Nitro Soccer Club Fees for the 2020/2021 Soccer Season will be broken down into 4 categories: Facility Fees, Monthly Coaches & Club Fees, Team Fees, and Tournament Fees

The Facility Fees will cover Nitro Soccer Club’s cost of Training Facility rentals for the 2020/2021 Soccer Year- for indoor and outdoor facilities. Also included, Sessions 1 & 2 indoor league at the Wyoming Valley Sports Dome.
*The Facility fees will be collected over 4 payments with the following due dates: July 15, August 15, September 15, and February 15.
In order to provide our families with financial assistance and the ability to reduce the cost of these expenses, we have created a fundraiser that all club members will be defaulted into once they have registered with the club but will have the choice to opt out of if they choose. Further details of the fundraiser will be sent out after player registration has been received.
.

The Monthly Coaches & Club Fees will be due by the 1st of every month. This covers the following:

Once the team rosters have been selected, the appropriate amounts for each Team will be calculated and sent out with further instructions.

However, Coaches meetings could be moved to a monthly basis, but the period between meetings will never be longer than 3 months.
