Aurora Soccer Club
WELCOME!!
Hello Aurora Soccer Players and Parents!
We've enjoyed a beautiful winter so far but it is already time to start thinking about the outdoor soccer season.
The Saskatoon Aurora Soccer club is excited about the upcoming season and working with your children to
develop not only their individual soccer skills, but also their sense of fair play, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
We are looking forward to another great season for the Saskatoon Aurora Soccer Club. If you have any
questions now or throughout the season, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Respectfully yours in soccer,
Daniel Côté
President, Saskatoon Aurora Soccer Club

Fees
This year registration fees have been set for U12 - U16 players at only $250.00 and at $90 for U10
Development players. Registration fees go toward/includes the following:
Your soccer registration fees are very competitive with those paid for other sports and leisure activities. Even
so, you may be interested in knowing how the amount is set. For the outdoor season, the fee is based on the
team assessments made by Saskatoon Youth Soccer, which for this year include an increased fee to recover
increased costs assessed by the Saskatchewan Soccer Association. These fees cover the staff time at SYSI
required to organize the league and the registrations, schedule and assign fields, assign referees, and pay the
referees. This sum also includes provincial registration fees which cover insurance for each participant. Prior to
the beginning of the season, the Aurora Soccer Club breaks this out into a player-based fee, and adds its
anticipated costs including the costs associated with evaluations, the registration process, training coaches,
purchasing and providing equipment. Based on that review, your Board carefully considered the anticipated
expenses, and additional costs which will be carried by the Club for the coming year. These costs include
developing and implementing an online registration system and arrived at a registration fee for the 2016
outdoor season of $250.00 per player.
**NEW this year, each player (U12-U16) will receive their own uniform kit (one jersey, one pair of shorts and
one pair of socks) ** The uniform kit is included in your registration fees. Players that received uniform kits
for the indoor season will not receive a uniform kit for the outdoor season.
-The purchase of the uniform kit will eliminate the need to collect the uniform deposits previously required by
all players.
All U18 players must register directly with SYSI not at Aurora registrations.

Volunteer Commitment
All U10 - U16 families are required to pay a $150 volunteer bond (this is not per player fee; it is a per family
fee). If you are able to volunteer just four hours over the season, your volunteer bond will be credited back.
Volunteer positions are available with the Club. We are looking for a Community head coach and a Registrar.
For information on these positions please contact [email protected]. More information on
volunteering is available on our website.
***Please remember to bring an extra cheque if paying in person**
KidSport/Canadian Tire Jumpstart/SportCheck Jumpstart
The deadline for KidSport applications is March 15th. If applying for KidSport funding please contact the
registrar ([email protected]) to ensure you have the current application and all pertinent
information. Forms will be available at registration OR download and print the KidSport Application
to have it filled out ahead of time. Since KidSport funding is in higher demand as more families are
applying, other avenues to apply for funding are the Canadian Jumpstart Program and the SportCheck
Jumpstart Program. Applications for these programs can be found on the Canadian Tire and SportCheck
websites.
Team Fees
Once teams are finalized, team fees are set by the team staff and include things like tournament fees and other
miscellaneous fees as agreed to by the team.
U10 Development Players
An assessment for player placement for training purposes is essential in ensuring coaching matches level of
skill and experience of the players. Watch for more details when you register your U10 player(s) online.
