Canajoharie AYSO Region 1015 Financial Assistance

Our Mission 
As a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) is dedicated to providing soccer opportunities for every young athlete in a fun, fair, and safe environment.

Financial Assistance 
We believe that every child should have the chance to play. While we ask parents and guardians to contribute toward registration fees to the extent they are able, we have established a regional financial aid fund to support families in need. Because these funds are limited and distributed based on demonstrated financial need, we encourage families to apply early while assistance remains available.

1. Parents/Guardians must complete the financial application form. 
2. Parents/Guardians should email [email protected] to inform the Canajoharie AYSO Board of the application.
3. The Canajoharie AYSO Board will review the application. Funding is provided on a first come, first serve basis until the financial assistance funding has been depleted. 
   

Note: Soccer is a team sport, and players who are granted financial assistance are expected to participate fully in the season to support their team.  Players who were granted financial assistance in the past but then failed to be an active participant during the season without due cause will not be eligible for future financial aid.
