Scholarships - Reduced Tuition

While AC Cugini training is unsurpassed, fees are kept low so that this unique soccer opportunity is affordable for all. Since its inception in 2000, AC Cugini has been committed to never turning away a player wishing to enroll in AC Cugini’s Pre-travel Academy for players ages 6-8 or the 11-month Academy Program due to limited family income. In 2014, US Youth Soccer granted AC Cugini “Soccer Across America” status due to AC Cugini’s long history of outreach to and support of children from low-income families. AC Cugini is committed to promoting the SSA program throughout the United States.


Also, AC Cugini does not believe that elite/travel teams should only be for those players who can afford the high expense of travel soccer. Therefore, we offer scholarships to eligible players with financial need in the 11-month Academy Program for elite players. AC Cugini officials also work with every family who may not qualify for a scholarship based on need, yet still need some form of assistance or special payment arrangements so no qualified child is ever turned away from participating on an AC Cugini team.
