All families must re-apply for financial aid each season.
Santa Monica AYSO is committed to ensuring that every child can play soccer, regardless of financial circumstances. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re able to offer limited financial assistance to families who need support with registration fees.
🟡 Who Is Eligible?
Financial aid is available for families for whom the registration fee presents a true financial hardship.
Please only apply if you cannot reasonably afford the full cost of registration, as funds are limited and meant for those in greatest need.
To qualify, you’ll need to upload proof of financial need — such as your most recent federal tax return (for both parents/guardians).
If you’re not able or willing to provide documentation, we ask that you do not apply.
📝 How to Apply
- Complete the online Financial Aid Application form.
- Wait for a decision email from our Financial Aid team.
- If approved, you’ll return to InLeague and pay your reduced registration fee.
❗ Important: Do not pay the registration fee until your financial aid request has been reviewed. We cannot issue refunds for aid after payment is made.
All applications are handled with discretion and reviewed only by those responsible for administering aid.
🗓️ Application Deadline
To receive financial aid and secure any early registration discounts, you must submit your application at least 7 days before the relevant registration deadline.
Late applications may not be accepted and may result in missing out on discounted rates.
🙌 Priority for Volunteers
Financial aid is awarded based on financial need until all available funds are distributed.
When possible, active volunteers (coaches, referees, team parents, etc.) will receive priority consideration.
Santa Monica AYSO is 100% volunteer-run — your time and support are what keep this program going. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community that’s supporting your child!
