There are the basic fees everyone pays to play in BC.
U4-U10 $27.00
U11-U18 $31.00
The BC Soccer fee includes insurance for your player.
UISA District fee $15.00
The UISA fee covers all operations required for management of the district.
All fees above these two fees are your club fees which the clubs keep and vary from club to club.
Yes. Players may train with one club and play on another club’s team. In this case you would register with your team club (as your ‘home’ club) and sign up with the training club. If you choose to move ‘home’ clubs, please ensure you formally un-register before moving teams, your club will inform UISA of this.
If you are unsure where you are registered, please contact us at upperislandsocceroffice@gmail.com and we will let you know
The district is responsible for creating the schedule in the summer and sends it to the clubs so they may provide us with game times and locations. The district is not responsible for the times and fields, because the clubs rent the fields as per their needs. Sometimes game times change for a variety of reasons and will come from teams or clubs due to either change of fields which affect the game times, coaches have other engagements and need to move game times, or a club cannot find a referee etc.
Although we do not appreciate changing game times, especially last minute, many things are beyond our control.
