GFRSC is working to promote and develop a broad range of soccer opportunities that enhance character, community, and the love of the game of soccer for local youth. Integrated in this mission is the building of self-esteem, self-confidence, team work, respect for self and others, and all the inherent benefits of physical exercise.
GFRSC is committed to providing service, charity and education to the community it serves. In an effort to provide increased opportunities for children to participate in soccer, GFRSC offers financial assistance through the Fairfax County Youth Sports Scholarship program to those players from families that have a documented financial need. Information submitted for financial assistance consideration is kept strictly confidential.
All Financial Assistance awards are intended to fill the gap between what a family can afford to pay and what is required for registration (i.e. GFRSC Club Fee), team dues, and uniform requirements. It is expected that ALL players will contribute something towards these financial requirements. Only in extremely rare circumstances will all three be covered completely through a Financial Assistance award. If at any time during the season a player has fallen behind on payments to the Club or to their team Treasurer, the player will not be able to participate in team training or any games. This policy is strictly enforced.
As a non-profit organization, the goal of GFRSC's financial assistance program is to assist low-income families or families with extraordinary temporary circumstances. Families who do not qualify for the County Youth Scholarship Program can apply for Financial Assistance through GFRSC (see below).
