Summary

Our Competitive/Travel program (U9 through U19) have annual fees that cover all playing activities for both both the Fall and Spring seasons combined, except for the high school ages (U15 through U19) where it is only for the fall season.

Players joining our Youth Academy during the winter break will have their fees pro-rated by roughly 40%.

Our Youth Academy players compete in a variety of league platforms, including National League, Southeastern Clubs Champions League, Georgia Premier League, and U9 through U12 Academy League. Players join teams at the May/June tryouts.

Registration fees listed below cover: field rentals for city and county-owned venues, various US Soccer national governing body registration and insurance fees, referee fees, coaching fees, and administration costs.

However, they do not cover: tournament or special event expenses,  uniform costs, hotel and/or transportation costs, and discretionary indoor field rentals.

Youth Academy fees can be paid in full or in a series of installments with a $25/payment installation fee. Payments can be made via our PlayMetrics system. A player deposit of $300 at registration secures your child's placement on a team.

Payment Default:

Unpaid annual fees represent funds not available to meet annual club expenses, including but not limited to: field rentals, insurance fees, governing body registration fees, and referee fees. Any player account that is delinquent by 14 days or more will be notified by the club and given a period of 14 days to bring their account current. After an account is in arears by 28 days, they will be notified by the club and suspended from participating in any club/team activity. A late fee of $25 will be added once an account is 14 days delinquent. If you are having significant problems with staying on-time with payments, please contact our administrative staff, as we may be able to adjust your payment schedule, though this is not guaranteed.

Youth Academy Refund/Release Policy:

If a player quits or wishes to be released from the club, no refunds or fees paid will be issued. Only a medical reason, such as long term injury that does not allow a player to continue, will be considered for a partial refund provided documentation is available.

Financial Aid:

Georgia Storm has developed a program that provides financial aid to qualifying athletes in order to play in our Youth Academy. This program maintains confidentiality while assisting players with registration fees. It does not cover the cost of uniforms, travel expenses or tournament fees. Financial aid is limited each year and is allocated on a need-basis. Financial aid applications can be downloaded HERE. Forms should be submitted after team placement and before June 14th. Financial aid decisions are typically made by the end of June with player accounts being adjusted shortly afterwards. 

The amount of financial aid will not cover all club fees. It is designed to include factors such as family income (determined by tax documentation), family  assets, and number of years played at Georgia Storm.

Other Information:

Games and practices are subject to the effects of weather and factors outside our control. Efforts will be made to make up sessions as well as find alternative training solutions, but cannot be guaranteed.
