What is included in MRFC’s annual player program fee?

Player program fees are collected to cover the following expenses: coaches fees, association, state and league fees, referee fees, field and facility rentals and maintenance, and administrative costs. Additional costs include Kit costs and Team fees. Other costs related to specific team activities are the financial responsibility of those teams and players (see Team Fees).

 

What type of team fees can I expect?

Team fees are unique to each team. This amount is calculated by the team manager and treasurer with the input of the coaching staff to cover the cost of team activities such as tournament entry fees, coach’s travel, group travel, team bonding activities, etc. This amount depends on the level of the team (the DPL, EA and older teams do more travel and enter more expensive tournaments/showcases so their team fees will be higher). Typically, team fees will be discussed in detail at your first team meeting along with a payment schedule.

Does MRFC offer financial aid?

Mt Rainier FC is committed to making competitive soccer accessible for all players and families. Financial Aid can be applied for during registration and is awarded on a need basis only. The initial $200 registration fee must be paid in order to be eligible for consideration. Financial Aid is awarded based on need and overall number of requests and applies towards Annual Player Program Fees only.

What kind of fundraising opportunities are available?

What is MRFC’s refund policy for competitive programs?

Our Premier/Competitive Program is a year-long commitment. When registering you are committing to pay the full amount for the full year of soccer. If you choose to leave for any reason other than stated specifically below, you will still be required to honor your payment plan unless receiving MRFC Board approval.

The MRFC Refund policy is as follows:

The REGISTRATION FEE is NON-REFUNDABLE.

The only exceptions for refunds of registration fee include:

  • If a team is unable to be formed a complete refund will be granted.
  • If a team folds during the season and a new home cannot be found for that player, the fees will be refunded at a prorated amount minus the non-refundable fee.

The only exceptions of stop payment or cancellation include:

Medical Refund – If a player has a significant injury or illness and provides medical documentation from a physician that eliminates their participation.

  • If player dues were paid in full, fees will be refunded at a prorated amount minus the non-refundable fee.
  • Players on a payment program will have payments stopped or put on hold the month following the injury/sickness.

Relocation – If a family relocates mid-season outside of the Puget Sound area

  • If player dues were paid in full, fees will be refunded at a prorated amount minus the non-refundable fee.
  • If players are on a payment program, they will have payments stopped the month following their departure.

Other – Refunds/Stop Payments or Cancellations for any other reason may only be granted with approval from the board. You must submit a written request of your circumstances and email operations@mtrainierfc.org. The board will review and render a decision.

What happens if I miss a payment?

If payments are late by over 30 days a $50 charge will be applied to the account. If a player account is more than 60 days late a player’s card will be withheld meaning they will not be allowed to participate in game play. Every 30 days another $50 charge will be applied to the account. Once plans for payment have been made and approved the player card will be restored.
