What are the Club expectations?

We ask that you help us achieve our goal of creating the best environment possible for our FWFC players, our coaches, and our parents. The following Code of Ethics has been developed to clarify and distinguish approved and accepted professional, ethical, and moral behavior from that which is detrimental to the development of soccer within Washington Youth Soccer (WYS).

Player Expectations

FWFC players will be asked to sign and abide by our Player Code of Ethics at all times. Players are expected to attend all practice sessions and games and to be on-time and prepared. Players are expected to follow the rules and policies set forth by the Club, state, and national soccer associations and will practice good sportsmanship.

Player Code of Ethics

Parent Expectations

FWFC parents will be asked to sign and abide by our Parent Pledge at all times. Parents will show respect to all individuals involved with the game (players, parents, and coaches of both teams, referees, and field staff.)

Parent Pledge

What is my financial commitment and what does it cover?

*After initial non refundable payment is made **Uniform kits, team fees and the cost of travel are not included in these costs. 

First payment is required to secure your selection on the team and is due at the Club Information Night. The season Total Cost includes, state and national registration, Accident Insurance, State Cup fee, league fee, referee costs, Club operational expenses, and coaching staff compensation. Participation Grants are available to qualified players. The amounts shown are the fee to play for the full year and take into consideration time off. If not able to pay all at once, we do offer a monthly payment plan, and monthly payment amounts are not an equivalent of a monthly participation fee.  

Uniforms

Uniforms are ordered online through Soccer.com. The FWFC Premier Player Kit includes 2 short-sleeve jerseys, 2 pairs of shorts, warm-ups, socks, 3 training shirts, and bag, with an estimated cost of $350 The FWFC Select/Recreational Player Kits includes 2 short-sleeve jerseys and 2 pairs of shorts (cost estimate coming soon.) New players are required to purchase their kit but new uniform designs are cycled every two years. Ordering instructions will be provided at the Welcome/Orientation meetings.

Team Funds

The team coach and treasurer develop a specific budget for the team. Team funds are collected and handled by the team treasurer. These funds include tournaments, equipment/supplies, team activities, and additional travel expenses.  FWFC understands that players may have other commitments beyond soccer. We encourage players to talk to their coach and go over any conflicts as soon as possible. Players are still responsible for team expenses incurred at events that the team participates in and the player does not because of other commitments.

What is the FWFC refund policy?

Premier/Select:  Your initial club fee is non refundable.  Any refund of will be at the discretion of and determined by the FWFC Board as addressed in the Parent Handbook when player accounts are paid in full.
Recreational: A refund of $135 is only available if the player leaves prior to the first game of the season when the player account is paid in full.

FWFC offers a limited amount of partial scholarships.
