FAQ's

CCU has shifted to a single registration cycle to cover fall and spring soccer seasons. Registration will occur annually in mid to late June. Since the majority of our club members play in both the fall and spring seasons, having one registration cycle simplifies payments for our families and enables CCU to consolidate fees and efficiently plan for the year. Each player is required to register with CCU before the first practice of the fall season. You will receive an email specific to your player to register.

The non-refundable deposit is requested in May and secures a spot in the club but not on a specific team. After tryouts in early May, coaches finalize rosters and movements may occur. The deposit, which can range from $500-$1000 (depending on team level) is applied towards your registration fees and will show as a credit on your invoice when you register during the summer and select a payment option. 

Your deposit secures a spot for your player on the team indicated on the deposit email. However, player movement may be necessary after tryouts. If a change occurs and your player is not satisfied with the change, you may request a refund of your deposit.

If a player becomes seriously ill or injured and cannot participate for the remainder of the season, a partial refund minus the non-refundable deposit will be issued. Appropriate documentation must be provided.

If your child chooses not to participate in the spring season, they can opt out by notifying DOO@CENTRALCOASTUNITEDSC.COM before December 1.

The club requires certain documents to be uploaded to your player’s Sports Connect account in order to purchase player passes. These documents are required at the time of registration and should be uploaded to Sports Connect:

Birth certificate/passport

Headshot photo

Additional required document acknowledgements will be requested via an email immediately after you register for Concussion and Cardiac Arrest (all players) as well as CalNorth Player Medical and Liability Release (for teams playing in CalNorth league)

For teams playing in NorCal league: R002 waiver must be filled out and uploaded to the Documents tab of Sports Connect.

When these documents are in place, the Ops Staff can request the player pass.

Club fees mainly cover membership, coaching, technical development, referees, fields, league fees, staff and player passes, etc. and varies for each team based on their competitive level and age group.

Central Coast United Soccer Club provides a need-based financial aid program to help cover club registration fees. The program does not cover uniforms, tournaments, travel, lodging, apparel or miscellaneous expenses. If you would like to apply for financial aid, please contact us directly. Returning Financial Aid recipients will need to complete a new application form annually and submit current paperwork. If your application is approved, we will make adjustments to your invoice.
