Space Coast United Soccer Club

Financial Assistance Statement

Space Coast United Soccer Club is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. We rely on registration fees, corporate sponsorships, donations and fundraising to meet the financial obligations required to fulfill our mission of providing opportunities to play at all levels from ages 3-18 with the highest quality of programs available in the State of Florida and to develop players at all levels of play – recreational and competitive – by building and improving their skills, confidence, fitness, initiative and a sense of teamwork. 

We are committed to working with families to make soccer affordable to as many players as possible. We offer payment plans for our Academy and Competitive players with options to pay registration and training fees in one, three or seven installments. We also encourage and support all competitive players and teams with fundraising activities including publicizing fundraising events through our social media outlets and providing sponsorship/donation options.
