Overview

Mission

Loudoun Youth Soccer Association's mission is to create soccer players, coaches and teams of strong character, committed to achievement on the field and in our community

What it reported doing in 2024

Created in 1978, Loudoun Soccer is dedicated to partnering with local government and communities to provide programs, facilities, resources, and expertise to make soccer fun, safe, and accessible to players of all ages regardless of gender, social and economic background, or playing ability. This includes running soccer leagues and tournaments and providing training to interested individuals of all ages. During the year, Loudoun Soccer served over 15,000 soccer players and 2,000 coaches with various leagues, summer camps, team training, and organizing travel teams that compete in the Washington DC area and nationwide.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
