Payment Policy (Parents to Manager) Monthly club fees and team fees will be payable to the team manager on the 5 th day of each month. If a player fails to make a monthly payment on time, and then they fail to make a payment by the 12 th day of the month, a late fee of $20 will be applied. (manager discretion to apply) If a player fails to make a payment by the last day of the month, then they will be suspended from all Clarksville Soccer Club activities including but not limited to practices, games, and tournaments. In addition, their player card will be pulled from the team manager, and it will be held by the Director of Coaching until past due fees and late fees have been paid. Once all past due fees and late fees have been paid, the player will be reinstated from suspension, the player card will be given back to the team manager, and the player will be allowed to participate in all Clarksville Soccer Club activities. If a player is suspended 2 different times for failure to make payments by the end of the month, then they will be required to maintain a credit equal to 1 month of payments. Players with outstanding balances from the previous season will not be issued player cards until their outstanding fees and late fees have been paid in full.
Payment Policy (Parents to Manager) Notification: Team managers will provide notice to players when they have failed to make a payment on time (i.e. when they are not in good standing ). Team Managers will provide notification to the Director of Coaching if a player fails to make a payment by the last day of the month. The Director of Coaching will notify the player when they are placed on suspension. The deadlines set forth in this policy define the expectations for making payments on or before the due date. Failure to provide additional notifications does not constitute a waiver of late fees or a waiver of suspension. The Clarksville Soccer Club recognizes that situations can arise that may impact a player s ability to meet their financial obligations for a given month. If this happens, please contact the Director of Coaching prior to the payment due date to explore the possibility of making additional arrangements. Note policy is posted on Club web site on the Parent Info tab
Payment Administration (Manager to Club) 1. At the beginning of the season, submit to the Treasurer a current roster and amount of dues that will be collected (attachment included). If a player leaves the team, the player card must be submitted to the respective registrar. The manager will send the treasurer and updated roster so that the automatic draft will be adjusted. If a player is added, the manager will submit a new roster to the treasurer. The registrar will also notify the treasurer when any roster change (add or drop) is made. An add/drop checklist will be developed by the Treasurer that includes notification/approval of all critical personnel (coach, DOC, Registrar, etc). 2. Managers will collect club dues ($65/month) from parents by the 5 th of each month. (Note parents can pay for an entire season in advance, quarterly, but at a minimum monthly) 3. Automatic draft will be set up from each team account for monthly dues. Auto draft will be executed on the 10 th of each month. 4. Payment to the coaches will be performed by the Club.
Payment Administration (Manager to Club) 5. Monthly documentation: Submit by email to john.rudolph@myfmbank.com NLT 7 th of each month. a. Team Dues Roster: Lists each player and amount to be paid (standard amount for all but scholarship players) b. Team statement: i. Beginning and ending balances align with statement from bank ii. List all expenses (auto-withdrawls, checks, debit card payments) and what the expense was for iii. List income (club dues, team travel expenses) 6. These measures are required to protect the Club, the manager, and to ensure we maintain proper accountability for tax free status. Managers can work with peers and club leaders to establish the proper procedures for their team. If any manager cannot comply with the necessary protocol then a new manger will be appointed.
Sibling Discounts Sibling discount for registration fees only Full price for eldest $20 discount for each additional player to be refunded in form of reduced payment (reduced payment from the team in AUG, if AUG dues have already been collected, the discount for the parent will be applied in SEP) Because all U-7 Academy players have a reduced registration fee, the discount will not be applied Discount should have automatically have been applied through Affinity

Teams can develop options for these expenses Those applying for assistance should specify on the application the type of assistance needed. Applications must be submitted yearly without regard for whether or not a player received prior Scholarship Assistance.
Developing a Budget Team travel fees are above and beyond club dues and are driven by the schedule Typically developed for each season individually (3 budgets / year for non-high school teams) Resources Example Budget Worksheet CSC Travel Reimbursement Policy (under Policies on Club site) Tournament web sites for entry fees Referee fees for scrimmages/friendlies vary by city. Hosting manager will provide costs. If your coach has multiple teams, travel expenses to events where multiple teams play should be divided across teams. Coordinate with fellow managers. If the coach has a conflict, an assistant coach will cover and be reimbursed at the same rate as the coach. A team will only pay for one coach per event. The team budget Excel workbook is a guide; additional funds may need to be collected at the beginning of the season to cover early season tournament registration fees Note: this is a team budget; if players miss an event due to their own conflicts etc, they still contribute to the team budget. The team fees are not a la carte.
