FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION

Phoenix FC, doing business as Metro Omaha Wolves Soccer Club (the “Club”), offers financial aid to eligible families who meet certain household size and income criteria. Financial aid applies to Club registration and player fees only, not to any additional team fees incurred outside of the basic Club cost structure. Metro Wolves does not offer assistance for other expenses, including extra coaching, travel related expenses, or team specific fees. The Club uses Nebraska’s current guidelines for the free or reduced school lunch program to determine eligibility. Families meeting the required household size and corresponding income amount guidelines will be eligible for financial aid as follows:

  • UP TO 50% off ClubRegistration and Player Dues for familiesmeeting the Free Mealscriteria
  • UP TO 25% off ClubRegistration and Player Dues for families meeting the Reduced Price Mealscriteria
  • All awards will be reduced from the maximum percentage discount if our existing financial aid fund is unable to cover all qualified applicants.

Families receiving financial aid agree to volunteer to support Metro Wolves SCactivities.One hour of volunteer work is expected for every $50 of financial aid received. Volunteer opportunities include, but are not limited to, assisting Club staff or board members with Tryouts, Registration, Tournament support, Academy or Junior Academy training, Fundraising coordinating, Uniform coordination, and any other activities pre-approved by the Board of Directors. Volunteers may, depending on the activity, be parents, players, siblings, or any other person properly identified as helping to fulfill the family’s volunteer hour commitment.Should not enough volunteer opportunities occur to allow all families to fulfill their obligations, such obligations will be waived if all opportunities were fully staffed throughout the seasonal year.
