CW Sounders is committed to providing a superior experience for your player and also understands that it is important to keep costs affordable.   Premier soccer by nature is more expensive than recreational play as it typically includes professional coaching, travel, and higher level league and registration fees.  The final cost depends on the division you play in, the number of players on your team, and whether or not you have a paid CW Sounders coach.
 

The costs and fees are described in detail below.

****Fees go into effect start of league 24/25****

League fees (2023/24 Season)

*Refer to WPL Website for League fees & Costs*

WPL Website

Per team fees are based on division ($550 – Super League, $350 – Classic, $200 – Copa per season). Division placed is based on performance.  Click here for League Definitions.  WPL determines league fees and expenses.  If they raise their prices, these fees go up. 

Per player fees are based on team division and # of players.  High School players only play one season - younger ages play two (Fall & Spring).  

For example a U12 player playing on a team with 14 players in the Classic division would have a per season league fee of $350/14 = $25. They would play two seasons - so their total per player league fee for the year would be $50.

*IF PLAYER PLAYS IN ANY ADDITIONAL LEAGUES, player is responsible for their portion of those fees.

Monthly Coaching Fees

Monthly fees are based on the coach's experience and currently holds a license. Any coach has the ability to scholarship a player based on financial need.  This only pertains to teams where players try out and are placed with paid coaches participating in the Premier and Classic levels.  Coach's fees are to be paid monthly for training.  Coach's fees are to remain the same for every team in the club.

If you bring a team in and provide your own coach, you can only participate in the Copa or Classic divisions. You will still pay registration, league, and tournament fees.  Coaching fees depend on the coach's licensing and experience.

Coach’s in-state travel expenses: Travel expenses are paid a flat $150 per trip unless overnight accommodations are needed then associated hotel and $40 a day meal allowance will apply.  These expenses are divided by the number of rostered players.  All rostered players on the team pay whether they play/attend or not.
