Club soccer fees can feel confusing at first, especially for new families. Below is a simple explanation of the most common team expenses and how they are usually divided among players throughout the year.
Club fees help cover the overall operational expenses required to run the soccer club and support teams throughout the year.
These expenses may include:
field rentals for games and practices
liability insurance
player and coach registration systems
equipment and supplies
referee assignors
administrative costs
club development and operations
This fee helps ensure the club can continue providing opportunities for players to train, compete, and participate year-round with Utah Glory Soccer Club.
Club fees are typically paid at registration.
Monthly payment plans may be available for families who need flexibility.
League fees are separate from club fees and are required through Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA).
These fees generally include:
annual player membership registration
seasonal league participation fees
UYSA Field Legacy fees
insurance and league administration costs
These fees are required for every player participating in league play and are usually paid during registration.
Coaches dedicate significant time and personal resources to training and supporting their teams throughout the year.
Coach fees help offset expenses such as:
travel and fuel
training preparation
communication and scheduling
practice planning
game attendance and coaching commitments
This is not intended to fully compensate coaches for their time, but rather to help reimburse a portion of the expenses and effort they invest into the team and players.
Coach fees are typically paid monthly.
Payments are usually made directly to the team manager or coach.
Team fees are additional expenses that vary by team, age group, and level of participation throughout the season.
These may include:
referee fees
tournament entry fees
indoor training facility rentals
indoor league participation
extra training opportunities
team equipment or events
Some teams choose to participate in more tournaments or winter training than others, so projected team costs may vary.
Families should check with their coach or team manager for a projected yearly estimate of team-related expenses.
Players are required to purchase the official club uniform kit so the team matches for games and training sessions.
Uniforms are purchased directly by families through an online ordering link provided by Capelli Sport.
The current uniform cycle is designed to last for two full calendar years.
2026–2027 is Year 1 of the current uniform cycle.
The required uniform package is approximately $300 plus shipping.
The required kit currently includes:
3 jerseys
2 pairs of shorts
2 pairs of socks
soccer backpack
Additional optional items may also be available for purchase.
Referee fees help pay the certified referees who officiate outdoor league games.
Most teams pay approximately $35–$45 per player, per season.
Costs vary depending on age group, number of games, and referee requirements.
The total team referee cost is divided evenly among players.
Most teams play approximately 8–10 outdoor league games each season.
Tournament fees are separate from regular league play and apply only if the team chooses to participate in tournaments.
Each tournament charges a team registration fee that is divided among players on the roster.
Example tournament pricing may include:
U7–U8: approximately $175
U9–U10: approximately $695
U11–U12: approximately $775
U13+: approximately $825
For example:
If a U9 team has a $695 tournament fee and 10 players on the roster, the cost would be approximately $70 per player.
Most younger teams participate in 1–2 tournaments per year, while older or more competitive teams may participate in more.
Indoor winter activities are separate from Fall and Spring outdoor league play.
There are generally two separate winter expenses:
Indoor Training Facility Rental
Teams may rent indoor facilities during colder months so players can continue practicing throughout the winter.
Indoor Soccer Leagues
Indoor leagues provide additional game experience and offseason development opportunities at local facilities such as:
Gardner Village
Sport City
other indoor soccer facilities
Participation varies by team depending on goals, schedule, and budget.
Many clubs, including Utah Glory Soccer Club, work hard to help families manage soccer costs through fundraising and sponsorship support.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, donations made to the club may be tax-deductible.
Fundraising efforts and sponsorships can help offset:
player fees
tournament expenses
equipment costs
training expenses
Families are encouraged to:
participate in club fundraising opportunities
seek local business sponsors
talk with their coach or team manager about available options to help reduce overall costs
The goal is to keep soccer affordable while still providing a positive and competitive experience for players.
Reach out to your Team Manager or Coach if you are able or willing to help sponsor your players team with a donation!
Many families new to club soccer wonder how fees compare between different organizations. While every club structures fees differently, most competitive soccer clubs in Utah have very similar categories of expenses:
club registration fees
league fees
coach fees
referee fees
tournament fees
indoor winter training
uniforms
Some clubs bundle all costs together into one large fee, while others separate expenses throughout the year so families can better see exactly what they are paying for. We choose to keep costs low for our families so they are separated to make it more affordable and transparent.
Even within the same club, total yearly costs can vary depending on:
team competitive level
number of tournaments played
indoor winter participation
travel requirements
coaching level
roster size
For example:
A local U9 team playing one tournament and one indoor session may have very modest additional costs.
A highly competitive older team traveling frequently may have substantially higher yearly expenses.
Some clubs advertise a lower monthly fee but charge many additional expenses separately throughout the year. Other clubs include more costs upfront in one larger annual price.
At Utah Glory Soccer Club, many team-related costs are separated so families can clearly see:
what the club fee covers
what the league requires
what additional team activities cost
This approach also allows teams flexibility based on their goals and budget. It also helps parents easily afford the cost of club soccer.
Unlike some larger organizations, Utah Glory Soccer Club operates as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and actively works to provide:
fundraising opportunities
sponsorship support
hardship assistance
community donations
These efforts help many families offset soccer expenses throughout the year.
Overall, Utah Glory’s fee structure is very affordable — and often more flexible, than many competitive clubs in the Salt Lake area.
