WYSA’s Financial Assistance Program

WYSA Families who show financial need based on household size and income will be considered for Financial Assistance. When you apply for Financial Assistance Program, you will be required to complete the application. Your players will be placed on a list until we have received and approved all the relevant information in the submission. If approved you will be informed of the Fee WYSA will cover and what Fee the family will be required to pay. Once the fee has bee paid, if required, then the player will be moved into the seasonal program and placed on a team. IF not approved for financial assistance then the player will need to be added with the “REGISTER A PLAYER” link above if you want to include them in the current season. IF the registration is closed, then you will need to wait until the following season. Please start the application process as soon as possible so this will not happen.

If you need a paper copy of the application or have any questions please email WYSA.ASSISTANT@GMAIL.COM

U10  Practices during the week and Games at the weekend. Most gams will be at WYSA Complex.  at least 7 games a season.

U12 – U19 Practices during the week and Games at the weekend with travel to surrounding counties.  Teams participate in the Bluegrass Regional Soccer League.  Travelling to Lexington, Georgetown, Paris, Winchester, Richmond and Nicholasville.  May be other surrounding clubs depending on membership.

WYSA is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization.  As such, we depend on the generosity of our parents and teams to help maintain our complex and ask that everyone volunteer an hour or two of their time each season.  We host two complex “clean-up” days each season (beginning and end of the seasons) and rely on volunteers to run concessions.

Each team will discuss volunteer opportunities at the beginning of the season.  We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to support youth soccer in Central Kentucky and give back to your soccer community.

If you are interested in financially supporting WYSA through a charitable contribution, please contact Mike Cocanougher at wysa.assisstant@gmail.com for information on sponsorship packages, signage, etc.

The club is run for every member and their family and we would like to ask everyone to be prepared to volunteer and help make this the best club we can.
