Here at the Niagara Falls Soccer Club we believe strongly that

"No Child Shall Be Turned Away".  

We believe that all children have the right to participate and with this in mind, to assist with reducing some of the barriers,  we have created a list of various  organizations that will assist  financially to get your child or youth out onto the field so that they can play!

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us and please know that this will remain private and confidental.
