MYSA-Ajax Families:
Provided below is our weekly update. You will continue to receive a weekly update until our soccer activities go back to normal.
Weekly Update:
Mary Grogan is officially closed until May 31. All MYSA-Ajax activities are suspended until further notice.
***Special Announcement***
Ajax United Tryouts are scheduled for June 6-7. Tryouts information will be updated on our web page as soon as information is received from State and County officials, and Mary Grogan is open. There will be a mass gathering restriction, but we are unsure what the number will be at this time. Our Ajax United Coaching Staff will be updated routinely.
MYSA (recreation program):
Our MYSA-Ajax staff would like to thank our membership for the positive comments that we have received the last several weeks. We would also like to thank those of you who generously donated their spring season fees to our club. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization and every type of contribution helps organizations such as ours. THANK YOU!
2020 Spring Season Update:
- Our 2020 MYSA Spring season is officially cancelled.Spring season registered members have three options regarding their spring season payment: 1) you may choose an $80.00 per player reimbursement, 2) an $80.00 credit per child to your account, 3) donate your paid 2020 Spring season fees to MYSA-Ajax (non-profit 501c3).MYSA incurred non-refundable expenses, which made it impossible for us to provide our members with full reimbursements.Keep in mind that if you request to receive a Spring season credit to your account, this credit will not fully cover our Fall season registration fees of $155.00-$165.00, per player.Please email Shanon at [email protected] to let her know how you would like to have your fees handled.
2020Fall Season Update:
- The deadline for the fall season registration has been pushed back to July 1, 2020. In accordance with our team building policies, players will be assigned to teams on a first come, first served basis.After July 1, team placement may not be available for your child. We encourage you to register by July 1, 2020. Our Fall season timeline will be slightly modified. We will publish the Fall season timeline on our website as soon as it is finalized.

Scholarships
In 2019, SaveMart made a significant donation to our Modesto Soccer Foundation (MSF). This donation will enable us to assist those families in need and who qualify for our MSF financial assistance program, for the Fall season. In March of 2020, SaveMart, once again, made a smaller contribution to the Ajax United scholarship fund. Their kindness will continue to provide playing opportunities to many MYSA and Ajax United youth players of our community.
MYSA Scholarship applications must be turned in by July 1, 2020. Scholarships are not guaranteed for applications received after July 1, 2020. An Ajax United scholarship due date has not been set. We will publish its due date on our website as soon as a timeline has been set for Ajax United teams.
An updated version of our MSF scholarship application has been posted on our website at https://dt5602vnjxv0c.cloudfront.net/portals/4537/docs/forms/2020%20msf%20-%20financial%20aid%20form%201.pdf
