Registration Fees Increase

May 2, 2018 • News and Updates, Registration

Over the last few seasons, MYS has increased our investment in player and coach development through our partnership with the Revolution.  Some changes have included adding group skill practice nights for Grades 3, 4, & 5, lesson plans for Grades 3 – 5 along with improved plans for Grades PK – 2 and, most importantly, a full-time Director of Coaching who will help create the long-term development plans for our kids.

Each year the Board of MYS reviews our financials to ensure we can continue to provide a high quality environment for the kids.  After our latest review, the Board has determined that after 5 years of consistent pricing that a slight $10 increase in registration fees is necessary to cover our program enhancements along with increases in costs for equipment and maintenance to our complex.  The increase will affect both In-Town and Travel prices for the 2018-2019 season (starting September 2018).  There will continue to be a family max cap per season but have also raised that limit by $10 to a max of $285 per season.

MYS understands that this change can affect families and the organization continues to offer financial assistance to families.

Sincerely,

MYS Board of Directors
