Executive Summary

Premier FC Soccer Club is a youth soccer club in California. We run a recreational academy for ages 5 to 8, select travel teams for ages 8 to 14 and premier competitive teams for ages 10 to 18, plus individual skill sessions, goalkeeper training and summer camps. Players train on rented fields with licensed coaches and a clear path from first kicks to competitive play.

Why this fits. Soccer is the most popular youth sport in many communities, and families want a club that teaches real skills, treats every player with respect and tells them honestly what a season will cost. Registration fees and camps give a club predictable income months ahead, because families commit by season. A club that keeps good coaches and communicates well keeps its players year after year.

Here is what our numbers show. In Year 1 we plan about 420 player registrations and about 120 summer camp weeks. That brings in sales of $403,200, growing to $1,092,100 by Year 5. We expect a profit of about $121,000 in Year 1, a profit of about $197,800 in Year 2, a profit of about $286,100 in Year 3 and a profit of about $433,200 by Year 5. Field rent, coach pay and tournament travel are our largest costs, and the plan counts all of them.

We need $95,000 in total. Of that, $52,500 is startup costs (uniforms and training gear, league and affiliation fees, software, marketing, insurance, a field deposit and a cushion), and the rest is cash for the first months. I am putting in $22,000 of my own savings and asking for a $73,000 SBA 7(a) loan.

I am Roberto Santos, the owner and director of coaching. These numbers are estimates based on the assumptions listed at the end of this plan, not promises.

Company Description

Premier FC Soccer Club will be a limited liability company (LLC) in California, owned by Roberto Santos. The club does not own a building. We rent field time from schools, parks and private facilities and use a small office and storage space for gear.

What we believe. Every child deserves a coach who teaches, encourages and tells the truth, and every family deserves a clear price.

What we offer:
- A recreational academy for ages 5 to 8 that focuses on fun and basic skills.
- Select travel teams for ages 8 to 14.
- Premier competitive teams for ages 10 to 18.
- Individual skill sessions and goalkeeper training.
- Summer soccer camps.

Safety and conduct. Every coach passes a background check, completes safe sport training and holds first aid training. Parents sign a waiver, players complete a medical form and every practice has a first aid kit and a plan for heat, lightning and injuries. We follow the governing body's rules, we do not promise any player a scholarship or professional career and we explain fees and costs in writing before registration.

Where things stand today. The program, budget and safety policy are written. The next steps are the field agreements, the coach hires and the first season's registration.

Problem & Opportunity

Families who want serious youth soccer face a hard choice. Large clubs can be expensive, with fees, travel and uniforms adding up to more than parents expected, and players on lower teams may get little attention. Recreation leagues are affordable, but coaches are volunteers with little training and a player who wants to improve has nowhere to go.

Parents also worry about safety, fair playing time and honest communication. Many have been surprised by a hidden fee or a coach who left in the middle of a season.

A club that is clear about costs, trains coaches and treats every player well meets a real need.

Products & Services

Premier FC will be a well-run, honest, development-focused club.

What makes us different:
1. A clear path. From the academy to select to premier, with players moving up as they are ready.
2. Trained coaches. Licensed, background-checked and supported with a training plan.
3. A clear price. A full fee schedule is given before registration, and uniforms and tournaments are listed.
4. Fair playing time. Every player on every team plays.
5. Open communication. A season calendar, regular updates and a named contact for every family.
6. Safe sport. A code of conduct for players, parents and coaches and clear steps if there is a problem.

Why families stay. Their children improve and enjoy the sport.

Market Analysis

Who we serve:
- Children ages 5 to 18 who want to play soccer.
- Parents who want a safe, clear and well-coached program.
- Schools and community groups that want a feeder club.
- Players who want individual and goalkeeper training.

How we sized the market. Our trade area is the towns within about a 20-minute drive. We are not counting on every family with a child who plays. Year 1 plans about 420 registrations, which is a small share of the children who play soccer in our area. Replace this estimate with your own count of schools, leagues and teams near your fields.

Competitive Landscape

What families can do today:

1. Large travel clubs. Strong competition, but high costs and less individual attention.
2. Recreation leagues. Cheap and friendly, but little training.
3. School teams. Good for older players, but limited roster spots and a short season.
4. Private coaches and academies. Good skill work, but not a team experience.
5. Other new clubs. Some are good, but many have unstable coaching or unclear fees.

Where we fit. Premier FC offers training, clear pricing and fair playing time. We will not promise to be the biggest or cheapest. We will be the club families trust.

Marketing & Sales Strategy

How families will find us.

Before the first season:
- Hold free open tryouts and a skills day at a local park.
- Meet school coaches, recreation leagues and pediatric offices to share our programs. We do not pay for referrals.
- Post a clear fee schedule on our website and answer questions by phone.
- Open registration with an early-bird price.

After opening:
- A free trial session for new players.
- A Google Business Profile and honest reviews from families.
- Short training clips and team photos shared with permission.
- Sibling discounts and a hardship fund so families who cannot pay in full can still play.
- Summer camps that bring in new players for the fall.

What we will measure. How families heard about us, how many trial players register and how many families return next season.

Operations Plan

How the club will run.

Seasons. Fall and spring seasons with practices on weekday evenings, games and tournaments on weekends and summer camps in June and July.

Staffing in Year 1. Roberto leads coaching and runs the club. About one full-time equivalent of licensed assistant coaches works part time across the teams. Parents volunteer as team managers. Pay for each role is listed at the end of this plan.

Registration and payments. A club management system handles registration, payments, schedules and messages, so parents have one place to look.

Safety. Coaches pass background checks, complete safe sport training and hold first aid training. Every practice has a first aid kit and an emergency plan, fields are checked before use and heat and lightning rules are enforced.

Tournaments and travel. We plan tournaments early, publish costs and keep travel affordable, with carpools and shared hotel blocks where possible.

Management & Organization

The people who will run Premier FC Soccer Club.

Roberto Santos, owner and director of coaching. He designs the training plans, hires and develops the coaches, leads the schedule and budget and talks with families. (Replace this paragraph with your own background.)

Coaches (about one full-time equivalent in Year 1, shared among several part-time coaches). Every coach passes a background check, completes the safe sport training the governing body requires, holds current first aid training and follows the club's code of conduct.

Volunteer team managers. Parents who help with schedules and communication.

Outside advisors. An attorney who reviews the field agreements and the waiver, an insurance broker, an accountant and a free mentor from SCORE or the Small Business Development Center.

Staff pay in this plan is a full year per person: director of Coaching (US Soccer D License) $55,000; licensed Assistant Coach $32,000. Replace them with the pay you can offer where you live.

Milestones Narrative

Our goals and when we plan to reach them.
- Before opening (4 months ahead): sign the field agreements, register with the league and governing body, hire and screen the coaches, order uniforms, open registration, and sign up the first teams for the fall season.
- Year 1: about 420 player registrations and 120 camp weeks; $403,200 in sales and a profit of about $121,000.
- Year 2: about 580 registrations and 175 camp weeks and a second field; $572,750 in sales and a profit of about $197,800.
- Year 3: about 750 registrations and 225 camp weeks with more age groups; $761,250 in sales and a profit of about $286,100.
- Year 4: about 900 registrations and 270 camp weeks and a stronger premier program; $938,700 in sales and a profit of about $367,400.
- Year 5: about 1,020 registrations and 305 camp weeks and a plan for indoor winter training space; $1,092,100 in sales and a profit of about $433,200.
Growth depends on winning and keeping customers, so treat the later years as goals, not promises.

What we check every week: players registered, attendance at practices, coach hours, parent feedback, camp sign-ups, unpaid registrations and cash in the bank.

Funding Request

How much we need and how we will use it. Total we are raising: $95,000.

How we got that number. The Funding Need Calculator in this plan adds up three things:
- Startup costs of $52,500, listed item by item in the Startup Costs section: $14,000 for uniforms and training kits for the first teams, $9,000 for goals, balls, cones and training aids, $6,000 for league registration and governing body affiliation fees, $2,500 for registration, scheduling and payment software, Year 1, $6,000 for website, signs and opening promotion, $5,000 for general and accident insurance, first year, $2,500 for LLC filing and field agreement review by an attorney, $4,000 for field deposit and first month of rent, $3,500 for contingency.
- The cash the business uses before it breaks even, about $0. Sales cover the daily costs once the doors open, so the cash we need up front goes mostly to startup costs.
- A cash cushion of about $39,800: three months of Year 1 operating costs.
- Together, the cash used before break even and the cushion come to about $39,800, and the three pieces add up to about $92,300, rounded up to the nearest $500: $92,500.
We are raising $2,500 more than that, $95,000 in all, to cover a slower first season than planned and the cost of added coaches. With this funding, the lowest year-end cash balance is about $194,900, at the end of Year 1.

Where the money comes from:
- My own money: $22,000.
- SBA 7(a) loan: $73,000.

Kind of funding we are looking for. An SBA 7(a) loan from a lender that finances youth sports and recreation businesses, backed by my own savings.

How we will pay it back. We expect a profit of about $121,000 in Year 1, a profit of about $197,800 in Year 2, a profit of about $286,100 in Year 3, a profit of about $367,400 in Year 4 and a profit of about $433,200 in Year 5. With this funding, the business has money in the bank at the end of every year of the plan. Our loan is the SBA microloan at 10.5% over 7 years, $1,231 a month. That payment is already included in our cash flow. We chose these as cautious planning rates; ask the lender for the real rates, which may be lower or higher.

What we are offering the lender: my personal guarantee and the club's uniforms and training equipment.

A smaller first step, if needed. If we cannot raise the full amount right away, we can start smaller and grow into this plan:
- Phase 1: start with the recreational academy and two travel teams, one field and a smaller set of uniforms, which lowers the startup costs and the loan.
- Phase 2: once the first teams are full, add the premier teams, goalkeeper training and summer camps and follow this plan.
To plan the smaller start, make a copy of this plan (use Duplicate) and lower the numbers to match.

All numbers in this plan are estimates. We will update them as real results come in.

Appendix Notes

Documents to attach before you send this plan:

- Your resume and a personal financial statement (a list of what you own and what you owe; lenders usually provide a form).
- Business registration papers and your EIN (your business tax number from the IRS, free at irs.gov).
- Your field rental agreements or letters of intent.
- Coach background checks, safe sport training records and licenses.
- Your insurance quote, waiver and code of conduct.
- Your fee schedule, season calendar and a list of families who have said they will register.
If you don't have any of this yet, no worries - let's continue.

The assumptions behind our numbers (change them in the Financials section to match your own):
- Player Registration Fees: about $880 in Year 1, rising to $975; about $180 in direct costs, rising to $200; about 420 in Year 1, growing to 1,020.
- Summer Soccer Camps: about $280 in Year 1, rising to $320; about $65 in direct costs, rising to $74; about 120 in Year 1, growing to 305.
- A player registration is one player for one season, at about $880 in Year 1, so 420 registrations is about 420 players. A camp week is one camper for one week.
- Prices rise about 2% a year.
- Equipment ($0 in Year 1) covers the club's goals, balls and other items bought over time, with first purchases listed under training gear in the startup costs, and later years ($5,000, $8,000, $8,000 and $10,000) replace and add equipment.
- Pay (a full year, per person): director of Coaching (US Soccer D License) $55,000; licensed Assistant Coach $32,000.
- Other yearly costs in Year 1: field Rental and Facilities $36,000, insurance and US Soccer Affiliation $12,000, tournament and Travel Coordination $18,000, marketing and Software $6,000. These grow between 5% and 10% a year.
- Customers and payers pay about 18 days after service, so at the end of Year 1 about $20,160 is still owed to us. Income tax at 21%.
- Every dollar amount is an estimate. Replace them with your own quotes and research.
