Many municipalities and recreation departments offer fee assistance, subsidies, bursaries, or funding programs to help children participate in local sport and recreation activities.
Families are encouraged to contact their local town or municipal office to inquire about available funding opportunities in their area.
While NLSA does not provide direct funding assistance, we understand that registration costs can be challenging for some families. Flexible payment plans may be available. Please contact us to discuss payment options prior to registration deadlines.
