Session Costs
At Onside Soccer one of our objectives is to ensure that children and young people can participate in football without it becoming a financial burden to parents. That is why our Sunday training sessions and the Onside League are completely free of charge. However, much as we would like to have all training sessions free, to help us cover our costs we do need to charge for other Onside activities or we simply cannot afford to deliver them. We have tried to keep costs as low as possible and we think that our charges still offer a lot of football for a modest outlay. For example, a child aged 11 years old can participate each week in Sunday training and the Onside League, Tuesday training and Friday youth football for only £40 per month. However, if your child would like to participate in training and you genuinely cannot afford the full fees please speak to us. Sibling rates are also available on request.
From September 2024 our charges are as follows:
Sunday Football, including participation in Onside League (School Years 3-9) - free of charge
Girls Football - £20 per month
Youth Football, Tuesday Training (School Years 7-11) - £25 per month
Youth Football, Friday Pick-Up Game (School Years 7-11) - £25 per month
Youth Football Combo (Tuesday and Fridays) - £40 per month
Payment should be made by Standing Order on the 1st of each month starting in September 2024 and ending in June 2025 and including your child's name as the reference. Training runs through term time from September to mid-July, with an average of 38-40 training weeks per season. Payments remain static each month to spread the cost evenly over the course of the season.
