Overview

Mission

Provide an opportunity for over 300 children ages 6-18 to participate in youth soccer, playing on teams of 14-22 and competing against similar teams from other clubs.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization substantially increased both revenue and total participants during this fiscal year through continued efforts to highlight the club within the school district and social media. This allowed for more comprehensive programming to take place; including agility training, footwork, and skills training. In addition, skilled coaches continue to be utilized to work with the participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
