Club Fees vs. Team Fees

Acceptance Fee (non-refundable) – Fee when accepting a position on the team in PlayMetrics.

Club Fees – Fees when registering your player in PlayMetrics.  Full payment or installment payment plans can be selected and charged to your credit card or ACH.

Team Fees – Fees to be used for team

expenditures.

Team Fees Policy

All team players are expected to pay the  same amount toward team expenses ensuring fairness to every family.  Delinquent Team Fees can result in eligibility issues.  Financial Aid awards are only applied to Club Fees and will NOT be applied to any Team Fees.

*Any money remaining in a Team Account at the end of the season will be refunded to the family.

For accounts that are more than 45 days past due, a player card will be pulled, and a $50.00 reinstatement fee will be charged to return the card.

• TSC reserves the right to suspend the player card of any player whose team fees or club account is past due. TSC also reserves the right to suspend the player from any and all team and club activities including all training and friendlies until the past due balance is paid.

• Players with outstanding balances from the prior season will NOT be issued a player card for the current season until this balance has been paid in full.

• Any player that requests a release from Tennessee Soccer Club must satisfy all of the following requirements: (a) Must pay the balance of the Annual Club Dues for the remainder of the entire 2025-26 season; (b) Up to date on all Team Fees.

• If TSC receives a returned check for non-sufficient funds, a $25 fee will be charged to that players account.
  

Explanation of Annual Club Dues

The fees and dues set forth above do NOT include Team Fees. In addition to the fees owed to TSC (as set forth above), each player will have Team expenses which are specific to the team to which they are selected. These team fees include, but are not limited to, the following: league fees, referee fees, tournament entry fees, and coach's travel expenses, non-TSC facility rentals. Team Fees varies with each team and should be approved and budgeted for by the team parents prior to the season starting. *It is important to note that individual Team Fees are a separate expense from the Annual Club Dues.*

Sibling Discount

Families with three (3) or more children registered with TSC in the same playing season will receive a discount in the amount of 5% off the Annual Club Dues for the third child. The sibling discount does not include the Acceptance Fees and does not apply to ECNL players.

Financial Aid

Financial assistance is available on a limited basis for those members who complete the Financial Aid Application and submit the required documentation supporting the need for financial assistance.

While Financial Aid will contribute to some of the costs associated with TSC Acceptance Fee and Annual Club Dues, it will not cover ALL of the costs associated with playing for TSC. Parents or guardians will still be responsible for the cost of uniforms, Team Fees, and other such costs associated with playing competitive soccer. Financial Aid recipients must also remain in good standing with TSC, including responsibilities associated with the TSC Code of Conduct, paying Team Fees, and regular attendance at training and games.

You can apply for Financial Aid as a part of the PlayMetrics registration process.

Fee Waiver for Long-Term Injury or Illness

If a player has sustained a long-term injury or illness, they may be eligible for a fee waiver for the amount of time they are unable to participate with their team. A long-term injury or illness is defined as an injury or illness that prevents a player from participating in any physical activity with their TSC team for a period of more than 45 days. To be eligible for said waiver, the Long-Term Injury or Illness Fee Waiver Application must be completed and submitted to the appropriate age group and gender Director of Coaching, along with a medical report signed and completed by the Physician treating the injured or sick player. The Injury/Illness Fee Waiver Application can be found on our website at www.tennesseesoccerclub.org.

Refund Policy

All TSC Acceptance Fees are non-refundable once payment is submitted through the acceptance process. 

All TSC Club Dues are non-refundable unless approved by the TSC Executive Director via the submission of a “Request to Drop” form or by being granted a Fee Waiver for Long Term Injury or Illness.
