In order to provide participation opportunities to players in all economic situations, the league budgets two small aid financial funds for families in need. LYSL also receives donations from generous members in our club as well as the Livermore community at large that are named specifically for use as financial aid. These funds are limited so the league must carefully review all applications to help ensure that the aid is fairly distributed.

Please be aware the applications and awards of registration financial aid are completely independent of applications and awards for high comp financial aid.  Separate applications must be submitted for each fee. Aid awards for one type of application does not guarantee an aid award for the other.

Financial aid is not avaialble for the Rec-Plus program.

Every player participating in the league must pay a registration fee. This fund exists to help members with the costs of basic league registration. There will be no 100% fee awards due to the large number of applicants.  All families will pay a minimum $35.00 per player registration fee due at the time of signup. At the close of the registration aid application period the funds will be distributed.  Any unclaimed/unused aid funds will not be redistributed to the remaining applicants.

• The 2009 registration aid application deadline is April 30, 2009.
• Applications dropped off in person after this date or post marked May 1, 2009 or later will not be accepted.

What happens next?

On May 1, the 2009 registration aid funds will be awarded. Notices will immediately be sent to all applicants informing them of their 2009 award amount and any balance due to complete their childs registration.

Example: You apply for aid for your U12 child before April 30, 2009.  The full fee for U12 registration is $130.  At the time of application you pay the league minimum of $35.00 towards the full fee. After the application deadline, the league then notifies you that $65.00 has been awarded to your child and that you will need to pay the remaining $30 fee balance to complete your childs registration. (Remember, this is just an example, the actual award amount will be determined May 1 and communciated to you by mail.)
