Travel Registration, Fees & Refund Policy

2024-2025 Registration Fees

Deposits are $300 for all age groups but for those applying for Financial Aid the deposit is $100. Deposits are nonrefundable. The extended payment plan of 8 months will continue with the initial deposit payment and final payment on January 1, 2025.

McLean Youth Soccer offers financial assistance to members in the ECNL and Travel programs who demonstrate financial need. Families are encouraged to review the FINANCIAL AID information and submit the application no later than July 25th. The deposit for Financial Aid players is $100. Questions should be directed to financialaid@mcleansoccer.org.

Player registration fees vary by team. The differences in club fees for travel teams are primarily attributed to league fees and participation in additional weekly training sessions - MPS Monday Night Training and MPS Preseason Camp. **Non-Fairfax county residents will be assessed an additional non-resident full year fee per player as required by Fairfax County Park Authority.

Per Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA) policy, players must fulfill their financial obligations in full to the club as part of their registration with the club. Club fees are collected through the registration system, and can be paid in full upon registration, or in installment payments (see chart below).

How To Register And Pay

Travel Program members are responsible for timely payment of club fees.

Once a player receives an offer from a coach to join a specific team, they can register with MYS. In order to secure a player's offer, an initial deposit must be made in the time frame detailed. Fees can be paid in full at the time of registration OR in installments with an initial deposit fee. Team-specific payment schedules can be found above. Please carefully review the procedures below for registering your player and making installment payments. Once the registration and payment are completed, the player is committed to the team for the entire seasonal year. Deposit and Registration Fees are Non-Refundable.

Registration and Initial Deposit:

  • Using the link provided in your offer letter, log in or create an account in PlayMetrics. Make sure that you are registering for the correct team. Players must be entered in with their full LEGAL name that matches their birth document. **If your player is new to travel soccer and was born outside the U.S., please contact traveladmin@mcleansoccer.org once you have registered.**
  • Complete the online registration forms and waivers.
  • On the payment page, you can choose the option to pay in full, pay the deposit with the remaining balance due on July 1, 2024 or pay the deposit and 7 installments with a final payment due January 1, 2025.
  • Every transaction will be charged a 2% transaction fee by the service provider. A discount is offered for those who pay in full. If using the payment plan option, you will be charged the 2% transaction fee by the service provider for each installment payment.
  • Non-Fairfax county residents will be assessed an additional non-resident full year fee per player as required by Fairfax County Park Authority.
  • If you need to pay with a cashiers check or money order, please contact traveladmin@mcleansoccer.org for assistance in completing your registration.

Installment Payments:

Subsequent payments after the deposit is paid are due on July 1, August 1, September 1, October 1, November 1, December 1 and January 1.

  • Payments are automatically deducted from your credit card.
  • If you change your credit card (because it is lost, stolen or expired), you are responsible for updating it in the system by logging into your account.

If you have any questions about the process, please contact traveladmin@mcleansoccer.org.
