COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS
Boys Competitive Teams (Ages U8/2017-U19/2007)
Girls Competitive Teams (Ages U9/2016-U17/2009)
Registration to a Competitive team is by invitation only, based on each player evaluation during the season or selected during Open Tryouts. Upon receiving your invite to join a particular team by email or directly provided a registration link from the club, if you accept to play for a Competitive team, you are committing to a 10-month season (August-May) to play for KBSC. There are NO REFUNDS. You will asked to pay a deposit to hold your spot on the team. Your payment acknowledges your understanding that the player will commit to the full season.
All players will be expected to travel and play on holiday weekends to play in tournaments, cups, and/or league games. All home games will be played at the Village Green or MAST Academy. You will be provided a team schedule with dates and times.
Why are registration fees NON-REFUNDABLE?
Coaches are hired for the 10-month season and a players fees ensure that the club can pay for coach’s compensation, player’s insurance, league and cup fees, equipment, and administrative fees.
If a team fails to play in a tournament, league, or cup game after registration and paying the corresponding fees. If the the team cancels, forfeits or declines to participate, the parents collectively will be responsible for all registration fees, fines, or referee fees associated with the cancellation of play. Each parent will be charged their corresponding fees based on the number of players registered on the team. Failure to pay will be grounds for dismissal from the team and will be reported to FYSA.
NON-REFUNDABLE SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS
We recognize there are certain events that can transpire during the season that alter the player’s ability to continue to play on a team/program. If this occurs, the club will evaluate each situation on a case-by-case basis to determine a special exception. Under a special exception, a player will be charged only for the initial deposit and responsible for fees incurred up to the month the player will no longer participate in the program. Refunds will be applied on a pro-rata basis. Certain conditions qualify for a Special Exception:
1. Family/player moves to another residence off island or a distance that will make travel to Key Biscayne unreasonable, or if a player moves out of the county, state or country.
2. Temporary or permanent illness that precludes the player from playing for a minimum 3-month period. A letter from a physician will be required. The club will temporarily inactivate the account payments and reactivate them once the player has fully recovered from the injury and has a medical letter allowing them to return.
3. A season-ending injury that will not allow the player to continue. A medical evaluation and a letter from a physician will be required.
PLAYER TRANSFER POLICY (COMPETITIVE TEAMS)
If a player requests a “player transfer” to play for another youth soccer club, s/he must notify the Director of the appropriate age group to formally request a release. The request will be evaluated by the KBSC and the decision to release a player from the club remains solely at the discretion of the KBSC Directors. Upon requesting the release, the player will be expected to pay the balance of their registration fees in one lump sum. After payment, the player release will be made and the player/parent informed.

Parents will have the option to pay in full (9 months) or in monthly installments during the year. We will allow parents to opt out each month. However, if they wish to discontinue participation, they must notify the club prior to the end of the current month. Failure to notify KBSC, we will assume the player will continue for the next month and be charged accordingly. New players are encouraged to come and try a practice session before registering.
Parents have the option to pay through a payment plan or pay in full.
