If you opt to pay in full, the total cost is $340. Alternatively, you can choose a month-by-month payment plan at $125 per month.

Financial aid opportunities are available based on need. Additionally, we offer a 10% discount for families with three or more players.

The cost of uniforms is not included in your player’s registration fees. The Recreational uniform kit are available through Soccer.com at $125. These uniforms are valid from Fall 2023 to Summer 2025.

You can choose any number for your player’s customized uniforms. If your uniform doesn’t arrive before the first game, please wear a grey shirt and blue shorts for training, and a white shirt and blue shorts for the games.

The Recreational program is volunteer-based. Each team needs at least one parent volunteer coach who will receive guidance and support from our team of professional coaches.

To ensure the safety and well-being of all players, parent coaches must pass a background check. This is a wonderful opportunity to actively engage in your child's soccer journey, making lasting memories and fostering a love for the sport together.

If you are interested in coaching, please email Carlos Elizalde, the Junior and Recreation Academy Director, at: carloselizalde@gfiacademy.com

We accommodate team placements based on friend requests. During the application process, you can enter the names of those who referred you, ensuring your children can play on the same team.

Our recreational program offers in-house leagues, where your child will enjoy the excitement of playing against other GFI Academy recreational teams on game days. This structure fosters a sense of community, camaraderie, and friendly competition within the academy.
