Show Me The Money! A Breakdown of Your Membership Fees When you write that check to pay for your soccer fees do you often ask yourself "Where is my money going?" I hope to offer an explanation for what you are paying that directly goes to the Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA) - a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our members can be confident that the Association's fees are used solely to cover the actual cost of membership services. The Association's standard membership fee of $11.00 is calculated to cover the basic costs incurred by the Association to register a player and provide basic membership benefits. This membership fee is paid once per year for each registrant. The breakdown for this fee is as follows: SERVICE COSTS Insurance 2.83 Member Services & Administration 2.37 Risk Management 2.00 Registration & Related Costs 1.80 United States Soccer Federation (USSF) 1.00 United States Youth Soccer (USYS) 1.00 TOTAL $11.00 Membership Services include coaching education, website administration, advertising, newsletter, soccer clinics, and a host of other services. Budget information is regularly presented for review to it board of directors. Financial Audits are conducted annually and made available on the UYSA website. I trust this information provides some clarity on how your $11.00 membership fee that you pay to UYSA (the "state" as referred to by some) is spent.
