FUNDED AGE GROUP ENHANCEMENTS
RISE continues to be the only youth soccer club in Houston offering elite level athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest levels of play in the country on a funded basis. In addition to offering a comprehensive Financial Aid Program, RISE currently provides merit based funding to its top teams in the U13 (2011 birth year) and U18/19 (2006/05 birth years) age groups. For the upcoming Fall 2023 season, RISE will begin offering merit based funding for our U11 (2013 birth year) and U12 (2012 birth year) Pre-Elite teams. Elite players who are extended roster invitations on funded age group teams will have their club fees reduced or waived, resulting in an annual savings between $575-$2,300.

Much like Merit Scholarships, our funding initiative is designed to support our vision of being a top 25 club in the country. Year after year, RISE develops some of the most talented players in Houston. We feel that through our funding initiatives, we are not only rewarding and retaining our most talented players, but we are positioning ourselves as the most attractive destination for elite talent. We want RISE families and potential RISE families to know that we make these tangible investments because we want you to understand we are as committed to your players' development as you are.
Due to our player development philosophy, we make every effort to maximize our roster sizes; therefore, merit based aid is limited. You can capitalize by pre-registering today to attend our Advanced Program player evaluations/tryouts. Pre-registration is required and free of charge.
