Tucson Soccer Academy Scholarship
Program
June 24, 2025
Overview
The Tucson Soccer Academy
seeks to provide every talented, committed player an
opportunity to participate in our program. Financial
assistance is allocated to families based on need. We
regret that we are only able to provide financial assistance
to the neediest families. Assistance is provided for
coaching fees only. All TSA players are required to pay the
club registration fee and are responsible for other
miscellaneous team expenses. Scholarship assistance is
provided for only one playing season (i.e., 2006-2007) at a
time.

Responsibilities of
Scholarship Players and Their Families
Responsibility of Team Treasurer to Monitor Payment of
Coaching Fees
It is the responsibility of
team treasurers to closely monitor the payment of coaching
fees by all players, including those on scholarship. Most
scholarship players will still be required to pay some
portion of their coaching fees each month. Any players that
are more than 30 days behind in their coaching fees should
be brought to the attention of the head coach of that team
immediately. Team treasurers are strongly encouraged to
establish regular communication with the scholarship
families on their team. Special payment schedules are
sometimes necessary for these families to meet their
financial obligations to TSA. Any issues of this nature
should be discussed with the team head coach as soon as they
arise.
