Travel Team Reimbursement Guidelines
The registration fees that parents pay to enroll their children in the NPAA travel soccer program are used for many things. While some of that money goes to operating expenses such as field maintenance, new nets, photocopying and postage, most of it is used to reimburse teams for expenses incurred as well as to pay some expenses directly.
The following is a breakdown of what the travel teams are entitled to that are either reimbursed or paid directly:
U9 & U10:
Paid Directly:
1. Primary Affiliation fee paid by club to either US Club or EPYSA
(secondary affiliation fees incurred by any team will not be reimbursed).
2. League fees: Fall registration is paid directly by the club to either PAGs or DELCO (for 1 league). Spring registration reimbursed (for 1 league).
3. Tournament: Entry fee into the Robert Urban Memorial Tournament all other tournaments are at the expense of the team.
Reimbursed:

2. Training Fees. Every u9 / u10 team must have a full time trainer. A teams must have a trainer two times per week and on games days. B teams must have a trainer no less than once per week during the fall season. The Club places a great deal of emphasis on training at U9 and U10 and will select trainers and set the training schedules for the U9 and u10 travel teams. The club will pay for a maximum of 2500 dollars per team towards training for any one travel year. Additional training will be at the expense of the team.
3. Cup Fees: all cup fees are to be paid by the team.

A copy of invoice or proof of payment is required for re imbursement. Teams may only submit for reimbursements 4 times per year and not more than 1/2 of the maximum allotment at any one time.

4. Training Fees: The fees for trainers need to be pre-approved by the club. For information on approved trainers or to get a trainer approved by the club, contact the Director of Player Development, Sam Griggs.
5. Tournament fees.
PLEASE NOTE:
Each team must appoint a team manager/treasurer to help handle administrative issues so that coaches can concentrate on coaching and not be overburdened with paperwork. The team manager/treasurer can handle many things, most importantly to the club this person would:
1) track team’s reimbursable expenses as above and request monies from club treasurer
2) handle issues regarding player passes with club registrar
3) be team liaison for annual Field of Dreams soccer tournament (this would require attendance at a pre tourney meeting with tournament committee approx. 2 months before tourney)
For more information or clarification on any of the above, please contact the club’s treasurer, Debyy Palermo at debbynpaul@comcast.net
