Are additional costs associated with Lehigh Valley soccer?
In addition to the NYAA fees, some additional costs are associated with LV soccer. Coaches usually make every attempt to minimize these costs and even offset them through team fundraisers. For instance, players may be asked to purchase an additional team jersey for tournament play or matching sweat tops, shorts, socks, etc. The NYAA pays the entry fee for 2 tournament appearances per year for LV teams. The entry fee for any additional tournaments are split among the parents (typically $15 to $25 per child per tournament). For out of the area tournaments, hotel and food accommodations must be made. Finally, although encouraged but not required, many of our LV players participate with their team in the UK Elite soccer camp organized by NYAA at the end of July (about $155).
