However, it is our desire that no player forgoes playing on a Santa Rosa United team because of expense. Used uniforms can be sold or purchased. These costs are kept as low as possible through club-wide fundraising events such as the annual dance and the Hall Memorial Tournament. Thanks to corporate sustaining pledges and individual donations, scholarship help is available for families in need. Some teams have a corporate sponsor and each team also has fund raisers to cover travel expenses, trainers, sweat suits, uniforms, bags, and team activities.
Many teams raise funds with scrip programs to offset club dues.
Monthly club dues are paid for the period that the team is active with the club and offset coaching fees. In the upcoming season, coaches will be paid by the club and the costs of coaching charged back to the player's family through the team. Dues will be standard from team to team within the same age group and will reflect the average cost of coaching for all teams within the group. Final club dues will be announced at the Open House on March 3rd after the Board adopts the annual club budget on March 2nd. Costs breakdowns will be available at the Open House and at try-outs.
