Kalamazoo Soccer Club (KSC) is proud to serve our community. Since 1991 we have been able to spread the love for soccer throughout the greater Kalamazoo area, and we plan to continue that journey while enhancing our offering to best fit the needs of our environment. We understand how the youth sports model in our country can be financially challenging for some families. That is why we have diligently worked to make soccer as affordable as possible in our area.
Currently, KSC has a scholarship system that helps cover some of the required costs after being selected for a team. These costs are also known as club fees. Each player who is granted a scholarship will be able to reduce club fees by 50%. This means, at the time of registration, a family would only need to cover half the club fees for the competitive year. This opportunity, combined with our payment plan helps makes soccer way more affordable.
It is important to note that our scholarships do not cover all costs families have to incur during the competitive year. These costs are also known as team fees. We try our best to give families (and teams) estimates of other costs that are not related or managed directly by us. That way, families can know up front the financial implications from participating in our programs during the year.
We continue to improve our scholarship system every year. We encourage our families to contact us in regards to ideas, help and donations to improve scholarships. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we appreciate a ton any support and feedback you can provide. Financial donations to increase the potential of our scholarships are hugely appreciated. That same way, volunteers to help us improve this system are also needed and appreciated. Please contact our Executive Director, any board member, or your team coach to reach us in regards to this topic.
