Bend FC Soccer Year 2025/2026 Information & Pricing


Dear Bend FC Families,

We appreciate your continued support and commitment to Bend FC. As we prepare for the 2025/26 soccer year, we want to provide you with as much information as possible as we head towards a new soccer year. 

Last year, for the first time and after working with OYSA, we successfully piloted our early commitment program and will be doing something similar  this year. All current Bend FC players/members are eligible to take advantage of an early commitment offer. Players currently outside of our 2024/25 membership are not eligible and will have to go through the tryout process. 

On March 7th we will be opening up our Early Commitment registrations for all current Bend FC players/members for a period of 2 weeks. This period of time will help you save money, help us get organized for 25/26, and reduce the stress on players that tryouts always bring. 

As we all know, youth sports can be expensive and Bend FC has worked extremely hard over the last 3 years to keep prices as low as possible while still adding to our program new facilities in the form of our Futsal Center as well as coach education for our wonderful staff and boasting a former US National Team Head Coach to our ranks. As we promised in 2023, the last two years/season we kept our academy prices frozen. This year there will be an increase in fees. Prices will be frozen again until 2027.

2025/2026 will also be the soccer year where you will see the next part of the field project come to fruition with 2 new turf fields. That project is now shovel ready and grant writing and fundraising efforts are underway. Phase 2, as it has become commonly known, will be broken up into 3 parts with part 1 being ‘game ready’ turf down at the complex. The entire cost of the project is estimated to be between $3.9m-$4.4m so as you can imagine this has been a huge undertaking and we are so excited to see the dream become a reality. 

There will also be some operational changes with myself leaving the club at the end of this month on April 1st. While I am incredibly sad to leave the last 3 and a half years have been some of the best in my professional life and the club is in extremely good hands with Chris Rogers (Club President), Donnie Emerson (Replacing myself), Greg Ryan (Clubs Technical & Girls Director, Cole McCool (Boys Director) & Jessica Passage (Club Operations & Admin). I hope to be back to visit everyone at some point and it would be great to come back with the new fields operational.

FAQs


Q: Why Are Prices Increasing?

A: Several key factors.

  • Rising Operational Costs – Expenses such as facility maintenance, league registrations, tournament fees, and general club operations have increased.
  • Bend FC Futsal Center – Our investment in this facility provides players with enhanced access to year-round indoor training, which adds value but also increases costs.
  • Comprehensive Pricing Structure – Unlike many clubs in our state, Bend FC’s pricing includes additional expenses such as summer tournament fees and coaches’ travel, ensuring a seamless experience for families.

Q: Can I pay Early?

A: Yes and you will save money by doing so.

Early Commit Discount – Save $100

To help ease this transition, we are offering an Early Commit discount of $100 off registration for families who reserve their spot during the Early Commit period. The early commit period is March 7th through March 21st, 2025. “Early Commit” is only available to current Bend FC players who want a guaranteed placement for 2025/26. You will not be guaranteed a specific team, you will be guaranteed a placement on a team. Any movement of players will occur during tryouts. 

Q:  Can I pay in Full?

A:  Yes. There will be an option to pay in full or select installments. 

Q: Will I need a new uniform this year?

A: No, only new players will need a uniform or if your child has outgrown any items you will be able to buy new ones. 

Q:  Why does Bend FC have an Early Commit period?

A: The early commit period helps Bend FC administrators plan for the 2025/26 soccer year.

Q:  Are there multi-children/sibling discounts?

A:  Yes. These discounts are continued for 2025/26

Q: Why does Bend FC charge the same fee across all competitive age groups, including high school teams?
A: Bend FC aims to maintain fairness and sustainability in its pricing structure. While different age groups have varying costs, the club balances expenses across all teams to ensure quality programming for everyone.

Q: If 9v9 teams have fewer players than 11v11 teams, why are their fees the same?
A: 9v9 rosters are generally smaller than 11v11 teams, which means that although total team costs may be lower, the per-player cost remains similar. This ensures that every player’s contribution fairly covers operational expenses.

Q: High school-aged teams have a shorter season—why don’t they have lower fees?
A: The cost of running high school-aged teams is actually higher than younger teams. These teams face higher entry fees, coaching fees, and operational expenses.

Q: Is there any discount available?
A: Yes! Bend FC offers an "early commit" discount of $100 off, reducing the total fee to $2,595 for those who commit early.

Q: Does this pricing model help the club in any way?
