FNSA Travel Claim
First Nations Soccer Association programs require athletes to travel to FNSA Selection
Camps, FNSA Training Camps, FNSA Competitions and other camps/competitions
approved by FNSA.
Participants may have to travel from one of the six regions in BC to attend an FNSA
camp.
FNSA recognizes that travel can be a barrier for some families/athletes/communities to
support their son/daughter as he/she seeks competitive opportunities.
To assist athletes, FNSA has developed a Travel Program to provide travel support in
way of a travel allowance.
The goal of the program is to support as many athletes as possible.
Based on priorities and demand, some applications may only be approved for partial
funding (i.e. a request for a round trip may be approved for a one-way trip).
Travel Eligibility
Eligible applicants may be approved to be awarded up to $100 depending on the
distance, to support travel expenses to an FNSA camp. Applications may only include
travel to only one (1) camp. If athletes are required to travel to additional camps,
applications must be submitted for each. Applicants must be in good standing and follow
FNSA respect protocol.

Applications may include requests to fund vehicles traveling with athletes, but
subsidizing athlete fares is the priority of the program.
Coaches and managers traveling with athletes are eligible to be included in
applications, but funding athletes is the priority of the program.
Claims may also be used by coaches or officials traveling to a recognized
certification or professional development opportunity.
