| Scrip Program |
|
 An Easy Way to Pay Your Way
DGSC’s offers a Scrip program to all members of the Club.
Simply put, the Scrip program allows you to buy gift certificates to local and national merchants at face value and earn cash back "rebates" by using the certificates. The cash you earn can be used to pay your Club dues and other soccer expenses.
You can shop where you always shop: HyVee, Kohls, Gas Stop, dozens of local shops - but now you earn money - and it costs you nothing.
Also, we have added Monday evenings to the Scrip schedule!
