PAYMENTS
We spread our costs out via a joining fee, and then payments across a 9 month period (September 24- May 25) rather than asking for the lump sum upfront to make it more easily affordable for you.
1. NEW PLAYERS U7s - U15s - Your monthly payment includes 2x training sessions per week and 1 match (during term time time only - additional matches may be added on different weeks depending on league fixtures). Total cost for the season = £698.50 (£100 joining + 9 payments x £66.50). Included in your joining fee is your registration, training kit - rain jacket, training top, tracksuit (new players), and match day kit (all players).
1.1 EXISTING PLAYERS U7s - U15s - Your monthly payment includes 2x training sessions per week and 1 match (during term time time only - additional matches may be added on different weeks depending on league fixtures).

2. You are committed to one season (9 months) and payment period with us 1st Sept 24 - 1st May 25.
3. At the end of the season, we will offer you the opportunity to continue your team training on the day you have been training on throughout the season, up until the summer holidays start. The cost of training in the off season will be £35 per month in June and July 25. Should you wish to stop your payments when the season ends (May 2025) please notify us by emailing hello@szunited.co.uk. This will also take place in June and July 2024 too, which is optional for you should you join by this time.
4. You have a cooling off period once you have paid your joining fee, prior to your first monthly payment starting in September 2024. Should your child not wish to continue with SZ United FC at any point prior to the season starting on 1st September, we would agree to cancel your membership and no joining fee will be returned to you. Should you wish to cancel once the season has started, your full season amount will be due in full.
5. If for unforeseen circumstances you can no longer attend SZ United FC during this payment period, we will agree to cancel your membership, however £25 for every remaining month of the season will still be due in a lump sum. Unforeseen circumstances are things such as: moving area, long term injury or illness, family bereavement. This will be discussed and assessed on a case by case basis before a decision is made.
6. Should you leave without written agreement from the club, and if money due cannot be recouped, your debt will be passed over to a third party debt collection agency.
Although we offer some flexibility with our payment terms, we kindly ask that you commit to a season to ensure your child gets the most out of the programme and to be fair to the other children in their team that have made the commitment.
By starting your payment plan with us, you are agreeing to the above terms and conditions.
