COMMUNICATION / WEB SITE
The majority of our communication during the season is through email, our team web site (including the website calendar), or after practice sessions. We recommend checking your email messages on a daily basis and the website calendar at least weekly for Fusion updates during the soccer season. If you do not have daily access to the internet, please inform one of the coaches so that alternate provisions can be made. Players are expected to inform the Coaches of any schedule conflicts ASAP.

FUND RAISING/SPONSORSHIPS
Each season we seek sponsors for the Fusion program. The money from sponsors helps us keep player fees as low as possible. Sponsors are featured on the back of the Training Shirts as well as on the public Fusion Facebook page and this webpage.
As an incentive, 10% of each sponsorship you “sell” will go toward your player fees. Payment & logos must be submitted by June 15, 2018. Details are on the sponsorship form (link found below).
Be sure to put your name on the form so we know who gets credit for the sponsorship. Sponsorship Form
Please be aware that we are not a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Here are some sponsorship ideas to consider:
- Employer matching donations
- Area businesses providing in-kind products or services, or advertising in our game program and on our web site.
- Corporate team sponsorships
UNIFORMS
All uniforms belong to the Fort Wayne Fusion Soccer Club. Players and parents are responsible for maintaining them in good condition while in use and returning them at the end of the season. Equipment forms will be completed by each player when uniforms are distributed. Players will not receive their uniforms until their accounts are paid in full.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Players are expected to participate in all scheduled practices and games unless prior permission is granted for legitimate absences.
