Sozo Sports is pleased to offer assistance with club dues for premier programs. This scholarship is funded by community donations through the "Adopt An Athlete" fundraiser. If awarded, scholarship funds reduce club dues up to a maximum of $500.

This is a work scholarship, meaning athletes and/or family members must complete required volunteer hours to receive the full benefit.

Any player who is registered for a club team at Sozo for the 2026/27 season may apply. Registration (including payment of the registration fee) must be completed before submitting the scholarship application.

You may apply once your player has been invited to a team and registered. Registration is required for the application to be considered complete.

Yes. All applications must be submitted through PlayMetrics.

Paper applications are not accepted.

Only applications submitted through PlayMetrics by the deadline will be considered.

• 25 volunteer/work hours (for the full $500 scholarship) at Sozo events and designated opportunities.

Hours can be completed during designated Sozo events and scheduled volunteer opportunities throughout the season. 

A list of available opportunities will be provided after acceptance.

Any uncompleted hours will be charged at $20 per hour

Half of required hours must be completed by December 31, 2026

Remaining required hours must still be completed OR paid at $20 per hour

Scholarship recipients must:

• Maintain at least a “C” GPA
• Attend at least 95% of practices and games
• Submit grade reports when requested (by October 31, 2026 and February 28th, 2027)

Failure to meet academic requirements may result in ineligibility for games, additional “grade watch” requirements, or a revoked scholarship.

Good academic standing is required because it ensures players are meeting their school responsibilities while participating in the program. It reflects commitment, discipline, and eligibility to fully participate in team activities.
