Finances
SkoMor SC is committed as a not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 tax exempt community based organization, to provide travel soccer programs at a fraction of the cost of other similar clubs. Currently our fee structure for travel soccer is no more than $800 per year to include both spring and fall seasons, indoor training sessions, one tournament, and the uniforms. The Club offers several discounts and scholarships for the underprivileged and disadvantaged youth, including the Louis Blumenfeld Good Sportsmanship Scholarship.

Volunteer Board Members
Our board members are volunteers, serving one year terms who receive no compensation from the club of any form. Board Members are parents, coaches, referees, and community professionals who volunteer their time for the betterment of the sport and our children. Any person may join the board if an opening is available.

Coaching Staff
Our coaches are licensed, CPR and First Aid Certified, paid staff members of the club. Each team is assigned a head coach, while several coaches assist in training sessions, with clinics, camps and the Future Stars program.
