Academy Fees and Uniform Information Academy Fees and Uniform Information

Cost of Academy 

HFC makes every effort to contain the cost of this program through tournament hosting, fundraising, and the use of a growing volunteer base. It is the philosophy of ABYSA that cost should not be a deterrent for any qualified player to participate in academy soccer. 

Academy Full-Year (fall and spring) Fees: $898
Total full-year (fall and spring) fee includes coaching, fields, facility rental, facility maintenance, equipment, club and state player registration, insurance and other administrative costs. The $898 annual fee covers two season (Fall $449 and Spring $449). 


Payment Plan Option:

HFC offers a payment plan for Academy players. The $898 full-year (Fall $449 and Spring $449) fee does not need to be paid all at once. The $449 fee for each season can be paid in three installments. For more detailed information regarding payment plans please contact Nancy McCord at [email protected]

ABYSA has established 3 programs to mitigate the costs of playing Academy soccer: Ingle's Gift cards, Tournament Program Ad Sales, and G.O.A.L.S. Financial Aid programs. Please see the 'Methods for Reducing the Cost..' Section below for more information on each of these programs. 

HFC Academy Uniform Ordering Information and Link 

Ordering a uniform does not mean that your player is registered with the HFC Academy Program. If you order a uniform, but do not register through PlayMetrics, we will not be able to place you with a team and add you to team/league communications.

New players to the HFC Academy program must purchase the Academy game day uniform package pictured below (approximately $100).

Returning players
 that have previously played in the HFC Academy will have the option to purchase a uniform but do not need to as they can use the game day uniform from the previous year. Other items, including a warm-up suit, gear bag, rain jacket, sweatshirts, and fan gear can also be purchased for an additional cost.


Training Shirts (gray practice shirts) will be provided by the HFC office at the beginning of each season.

Methods for Reducing the Cost of HFC Programming Methods for Reducing the Cost of HFC Programming

Aid to Players and Families: 
It is the philosophy of ABYSA/HFC that cost should not be a deterrent for any qualified player to participate in HFC's Competitive or Academy soccer programs. Therefore, affordable monthly payment plan options are available for players in all programs. In addition, ABYSA/HFC has established 3 programs to mitigate the costs of playing classic soccer: the Ingle's Gift Card program, Riverside Tournament Program Ad Sales, and G.O.A.L.S. Financial Aid. 


Ingle's Gift Card Program
Ingle's gift cards are purchased by ABYSA/HFC at a discount from Ingle's. Player families purchase these gift cards at face value from their team representative or HFC scrip volunteers. 5% of the purchase is applied as a credit against their team fees. Example: A purchase of $100 of Ingle's gift cards yields $100 worth of groceries (or gas!) and a $5 reduction of the player's fees. Some families have paid all their fees from Ingle's gift card purchases alone!

Financial Aid Program
G.O.A.L.S. Financial Aid (Granting Opportunities for Advancement in Life through Soccer)
This program provides financial support to committed players who otherwise would not be able to participate in classic soccer. The Financial Aid Application is an online form. All information is kept confidential. Applicants should be committed to competitive soccer and should regularly participate in the other fundraising opportunities offered by ABYSA. The Financial Aid is need-based and each application is individually reviewed by the G.O.A.L.S. Funding Committee.

ABYSA is confident that, by utilizing the Ingle's gift card, Tournament Ad Sales and if necessary, G.O.A.L.S Financial Aid program, any committed player and family can financially afford to participate in our competitive soccer program.
