Team Dissolution Policy

Occasionally, a team at Twin County Soccer Association (TCSA) may become inactive and ultimately dissolve—whether at the end of a seasonal year (as defined by New Jersey Youth Soccer: September 1 through August 31) or during the year. When this occurs, questions may arise regarding the handling of any remaining team funds.

As a registered 501(c)(3) public charity, TCSA must follow regulations that govern the use and disbursement of funds. We are not permitted to refund money directly to parents, guardians, or donors under any circumstances.

To ensure compliance with these regulations, no disbursement or repurposing of team funds will occur until the team has been formally declared dissolved by Twin County Soccer Association.

Once a Team is Officially Dissolved

  • Any individual player credits or fundraising balances may be first applied toward registration with another Twin County Soccer team or club program, if applicable.

  • Any remaining shared team balance will then be equitably divided among all players who were rostered to the team for the seasonal year and:

    • Returning players may choose to receive their portion as a gift card to a sporting goods store that sells soccer equipment, or apply the amount toward tuition or other Twin County Soccer programs.

    • Non-returning players will receive their portion only as a gift card to a sporting goods store that sells soccer equipment.

  • Players with outstanding registration fees and/or team dues will not be eligible to receive a gift card disbursement. This ensures that all players who fulfilled their financial commitment to the team are recognized fairly.

  • Any funds not distributed as player credits or gift cards will be returned to Twin County Soccer Association and used to support future club programming and operations in line with our charitable purpose.

This process ensures that all funds continue to serve our mission:

“To educate, promote, and govern the game of soccer among youth.”
