At Mariner Youth Soccer, we believe that soccer is more than just a game—it’s an opportunity for kids to learn, grow, and thrive. We are committed to making sure that every child who wants to play soccer has the chance to do so, regardless of their financial situation. Our mission is simple: Soccer should be a game for everybody. 

Financial Aid and Scholarships  
We understand that the cost of participating in youth sports can be a challenge for some families. That’s why we offer financial assistance and full scholarships for our programs for those families in the greatest need. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so that every child can experience the joy of playing soccer, building friendships, and developing lifelong skills.  

While we work incredibly hard to keep all of our programs as affordable as possible, we know that even modest fees can be difficult for some families. If financial constraints are preventing your child from participating, we are here to help.  

How to Apply for Assistance  
If you or someone you know needs financial support to participate in a Mariner Youth Soccer program, please reach out to our Vice President of Operations, John Shockro. John is the dedicated point of contact for all financial assistance requests, ensuring that these sensitive conversations are handled with the utmost care and privacy.  

You can contact John directly at [email protected]. He will work with you to understand your situation and explore how Mariner can help make soccer a reality for your child.  

Privacy and Confidentiality  
We know that discussing financial needs can feel uncomfortable, which is why we prioritize your privacy. John is the only member of our board who handles these requests, and all conversations are kept strictly confidential. Our goal is to make the process as easy and respectful as possible for families in need.  

A Game for Everyone  
At Mariner Youth Soccer, we are proud to foster an inclusive community where every child has the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through soccer. Our financial assistance and scholarship programs are a reflection of our commitment to ensuring that no player is left on the sidelines due to financial constraints.  

If you have any questions about financial aid or scholarships, or if you’d like to support our efforts to make soccer accessible to all, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can ensure that soccer truly is a game for everybody.
