Overview

Mission

Arizona Revolution Soccer Club believes youth who take part in sports learn essential life skills that provide the fundamental tools they need to become successful adults. Attention is on the long term development of the athlete by building on the individual's tactical, technical, physical, psycho social, and verbal skills through a fun and passionate atmosphere. We strive to develop players capable of competing at the highest level of competitive youth soccer.

What it reported doing in 2016

220 children from approximately 160 families participate in a variety of youth soccer programs. Competitive soccer participation is an opportunity for youth players to compete with and against similarly gifted athletes, experiences that can define character and teach players life lessons. As serious as soccer is for many of us (coaches, parents and players), an important outcome of participation in Arizona Revolution Soccer Club is well grounded, positive and confident young athletes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 90% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
