Executive Summary

Net Results Volleyball Academy is a volleyball academy in Texas. We run club teams for girls and boys by age, summer camps, individual skill sessions and open gym time. Players train on a dedicated indoor court with coaches who teach technique, strategy and teamwork.

Why this fits. Volleyball is one of the most popular girls' sports in Texas, and club volleyball is where most serious players develop. Families commit by season, so registration income is predictable months ahead, and camps and skill sessions fill the weeks between. A club that teaches carefully, explains costs and keeps coaches steady keeps its players year after year.

Here is what our numbers show. In Year 1 we plan about 180 club team registrations, about 62 summer camp weeks and about 1,538 individual skill development sessions. That brings in sales of $394,336, growing to $1,073,550 by Year 5. We expect a profit of about $79,800 in Year 1, a profit of about $161,700 in Year 2, a profit of about $246,700 in Year 3 and a profit of about $442,800 by Year 5. Rent, coach pay and the court flooring and nets paid for before the first practice are our largest costs, and the plan counts all of them.

We need $125,000 in total. Of that, $73,250 is startup costs (court flooring, nets, training and video equipment, a build-out, a deposit, insurance, marketing and a small cushion), and the rest is cash for the first months. I am putting in $25,000 of my own savings and asking for a $100,000 SBA 7(a) loan.

I am Marisol Vega, 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

Net Results Volleyball Academy will be a limited liability company (LLC) in Texas, owned by Marisol Vega. We will rent about 9,000 square feet with two practice courts, a lobby, a small office and storage.

What we believe. Volleyball is a team sport that rewards effort and communication, and every player deserves a coach who is careful, clear and fair.

What we offer:
- Club teams by age and level, with tryouts and a fall to spring season.
- Summer camps by the week.
- Individual and small-group skill development.
- Open gym time and court rentals.
- Clear costs for tuition, uniforms and tournaments.

Safety and conduct. Every coach passes a background check and holds safe sport and first aid training. Courts are inspected before every practice, players warm up, athletic trainers' advice is followed for injuries and a first aid kit and emergency plan are on site. We do not promise any player a scholarship, a roster spot or a professional career.

Where things stand today. The program, budget, safety policy and season plan are written. The next steps are the lease, the court and the first tryouts.

Problem & Opportunity

Club volleyball is where many players develop, but families often find it hard to choose a club. Fees, uniforms and tournament travel add up, coaches change and some clubs favor a few players. Recreation leagues are cheaper but do not teach much technique.

Players who want individual help between seasons have few places to go, and school gyms are not available year-round.

A dedicated academy with trained coaches, clear costs and a year-round court meets a real need.

Products & Services

Net Results will be the honest, well-coached volleyball home for players and families.

What makes us different:
1. A dedicated court. Open year-round with good flooring and lighting.
2. Trained coaches. Background-checked, certified and steady.
3. Clear costs. A fee schedule that lists tuition, uniforms and tournaments.
4. Fair placement. Players are placed by skill and every player is coached.
5. Skill sessions. Individual and small-group work between seasons.
6. Open communication. A season calendar and regular updates.

Why families stay. Their players improve and feel part of a team.

Market Analysis

Who we serve:
- Girls and boys ages 9 to 18 who want to play club volleyball.
- Parents who want a safe, honest club.
- Players who want individual skill sessions.
- Schools and teams that need court time.

How we sized the market. Our trade area is the towns within a 25-minute drive. We are not counting on every family with a young player. Year 1 plans about 180 club registrations, which is a small share of the youth who play volleyball in our area. Replace this estimate with your own count of schools, leagues and teams near the academy.

Competitive Landscape

What players can do today:

1. Large club programs. Strong competition, but crowded and expensive.
2. School teams. Good, but a short season and limited roster spots.
3. Recreation leagues. Cheap and fun, but little technique.
4. Private coaches. Personal, but no regular court.
5. Other new academies. Some are strong, but coaching and costs vary.

Where we fit. Net Results offers a dedicated court, steady coaches and clear costs. We will not try to be the largest. We will be the academy families trust.

Marketing & Sales Strategy

How families will find us.

Before the first season:
- Hold free open tryouts and a skills clinic.
- Visit school coaches, athletic directors and recreation leagues. We do not pay for referrals.
- Post a clear fee schedule on our website.
- Open registration with an early-bird price.

After opening:
- A free trial practice for new players.
- A Google Business Profile and honest reviews.
- Short clips of players improving, shared with permission.
- Sibling discounts and a scholarship fund.
- Summer camps that bring in new players for the season.

What we will measure. How families heard about us, how many trials become registrations and how many players return next season.

Operations Plan

How the academy will run.

Seasons. Fall through spring for club teams, summer for camps and skill sessions year-round.

Staffing in Year 1. Marisol coaches and runs the academy. About two full-time equivalents of assistant coaches work part time, and a part-time coordinator handles registration and payments. 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.

Safety. Coaches pass background checks and hold first aid training. Courts are inspected before practice, nets are checked, players warm up and rest and a first aid kit and emergency plan are on site.

Upkeep. Court flooring and nets are checked every week and repaired on a schedule.

Management & Organization

The people who will run Net Results Volleyball Academy.

Marisol Vega, owner and director of coaching. She designs the training plans, coaches teams, leads the schedule, the budget and the relationship with families. (Replace this paragraph with your own background.)

Assistant coaches (about two full-time equivalents in Year 1, shared among part-time coaches). Every coach passes a background check, completes safe sport training, holds the coaching certification the governing body requires and holds CPR and first aid training.

Coordinator (part time). Handles registration, payments and scheduling.

Outside advisors. An attorney who reviews the lease 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: owner / Director of Coaching (USAV) $52,000; assistant Coach $30,000; coordinator (part-time) $20,000. 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 lease, install the court flooring and nets, hire and screen the coaches, join the governing body, hold tryouts and sign up the first teams for the season.
- Year 1: about 180 club registrations, 62 camp weeks and 1,538 skill sessions; $394,336 in sales and a profit of about $79,800.
- Year 2: about 248 registrations, 89 camp weeks and 2,055 skill sessions with more coaches; $558,380 in sales and a profit of about $161,700.
- Year 3: about 315 registrations, 114 camp weeks and 2,589 skill sessions and more age groups; $730,434 in sales and a profit of about $246,700.
- Year 4: about 378 registrations, 137 camp weeks and 3,086 skill sessions and a stronger national schedule; $901,858 in sales and a profit of about $333,200.
- Year 5: about 437 registrations, 160 camp weeks and 3,565 skill sessions and a plan for a second court; $1,073,550 in sales and a profit of about $442,800.
Growth depends on winning and keeping customers, so treat the later years as goals, not promises.

What we check every week: players registered, practice attendance, skill session bookings, camp sign-ups, coach hours, parent feedback and cash in the bank.

Funding Request

How much we need and how we will use it. Total we are raising: $125,000.

How we got that number. The Funding Need Calculator in this plan adds up three things:
- Startup costs of $73,250, listed item by item in the Startup Costs section: $22,000 for sport court flooring, $8,000 for volleyball nets and posts (4), $5,000 for ball machines, carts and training equipment, $4,000 for scoreboard and sound, $3,000 for video analysis equipment, $3,000 for bleachers and seating, $6,000 for facility build-out: lines, lighting and lobby, $5,000 for signs, website and opening promotion, $1,500 for registration and billing software, Year 1, $2,000 for LLC filing and lease review by an attorney, $4,000 for general and accident insurance, first year, $9,000 for security deposit and first two months of rent, $750 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 $51,700: three months of Year 1 operating costs.
- Together, the cash used before break even and the cushion come to about $51,700, and the three pieces add up to about $125,000, rounded up to the nearest $500: $125,000.
We are raising $125,000 in all, which matches the calculator. With this funding, the lowest year-end cash balance is about $154,200, at the end of Year 1.

Where the money comes from:
- My own money: $25,000.
- SBA 7(a) loan: $100,000.

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

How we will pay it back. We expect a profit of about $79,800 in Year 1, a profit of about $161,700 in Year 2, a profit of about $246,700 in Year 3, a profit of about $333,200 in Year 4 and a profit of about $442,800 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 7(a) loan at 10.5% over 10 years, $1,349 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: the court equipment and my personal guarantee.

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: open with one court and two club teams, which lowers the startup costs and the loan.
- Phase 2: once the first teams are full, add the other teams, camps and skill sessions 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

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):
- Club Team Registration Fees: about $1,650 in Year 1, rising to $1,850; about $280 in direct costs, rising to $313; about 180 in Year 1, growing to 437.
- Summer Camps: about $280 in Year 1, rising to $320; about $68 in direct costs, rising to $76; about 62 in Year 1, growing to 160.
- Individual Skill Development: about $52 in Year 1, rising to $60; about $8 in direct costs, rising to $9; about 1,538 in Year 1, growing to 3,565.
- A club team registration is one player for one season, at about $1,650 in Year 1. A camp week is one camper for one week, and a skill session is one player for one session.
- Prices rise about 3% a year.
- Equipment ($45,000 in Year 1) covers court flooring, nets and posts, training and video equipment, a scoreboard and sound, and bleachers, and later years ($5,000, $8,000, $8,000 and $12,000) replace and add equipment.
- Pay (a full year, per person): owner / Director of Coaching (USAV) $52,000; assistant Coach $30,000; coordinator (part-time) $20,000.
- Other yearly costs in Year 1: rent and Utilities $54,000, insurance and USAV Affiliation $9,500, court Maintenance $6,000, marketing and Software $5,400. These grow between 3% and 8% a year.
- Customers and payers pay about 11 days after service, so at the end of Year 1 about $11,830 is still owed to us. Income tax at 21%.
- Every dollar amount is an estimate. Replace them with your own quotes and research.
