Hardship Fund

Holbrook Avon Youth Soccer Association is proud to announce the we have established a Hardship Fund for families in need of assistance. It is the policy of HAYSA that no child should be denied the opportunity to play soccer due to a family's financial situation. In these hard times in which families deal with financial difficulties due to a parent losing their job or having health concerns afffecting their ability to work, we wanted to establish a fund in which parents can request assistance in paying league fees. HAYSA is run 100% by volunteer effort. The requirement for accepting a Hardship Fund scholarship is at least 1 parent is required to volunteer during the soccer season. This may be as a coach, concessions, fundraising, field maintenance, etc. Failure to volunteer may result in forfeiture of this assistance.

How does this work?

The application is something that is handled with complete confidentiality. The request is mailed to the Treasurer of HAYSA. The parent simply fills out the form with basic information on the player/family and a brief description of the families particular financial needs. HAYSA requires that these requests are in by August 24th for the fall season and November 15 for the winter/spring season so decisions can be made before the season begins. We can not guarantee that we can grant all requests in full and may not be able to grant some at all. Our hope however, is that each request be met.

Once the Treasurer has decided who to grant money to and how much, the parent will be notified of the amount they will be given and how to register.

We have established an ability to grant funds, but do accept contributions to this fund both personally or by sponsors. If you know of a business that would like to help fund this program, please contact our Treasurer to discuss. If you have any other questions about this fund or need to ask if you think your situation is a good candidate, feel free to email Treasurer@haysa.org.
