A  You can either purchase indoor soccer shoes (no outdoor cleats are allowed) OR clean running shoes are perfectly acceptable for all ages. Shin pads are not required but are highly recommended

Q:  How can I apply for a subsidy if I cannot afford the registration fee?

A: There are two programs that help with registration fees. You can only apply to one or the other; not both:  Jumpstart or KidSport

Jumpstart or KidSport processes take some time from when you apply to when your funding arrives. (sometimes 6-8 weeks)

Here is the general process and you will apply to only one of these two sites:

  1. You register your child for our soccer program on-line. Payment in full is required at that time
  2. You apply for your Jumpstart of KidSport funding through their websites:
  3. Jump Start:  https://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/pages/individual-child-grants
  4. KidSport: https://kidsportcanada.ca/ontario/hearst/apply-for-a-grant/
  5. When/if your application is approved by Jumpstart or Kidsport, a cheque will be sent payable to Southwest Optimist Indoor Soccer for the amount you have been approved
  6. When BMO Centre receives the cheque, we will then process your refund back on to the credit card used for the amount funded

We hope this helps simplify the process for you. If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
