Overview

Mission

The primary exempt purpose of Progressive Youths Soccer Club is to foster the physical, mental and emotional development of youths through the sport of soccer. The club provides high-quality athletic training, competitive league play and educational programs that emphasize teamwork, discipline and community engagement for student-athletes from diverse backgrounds.

What it reported doing in 2025

Core Youth Development & Community Training- Managed year-round soccer programming and technical training for 200 youth athletes within the Brooklyn community. This included the "Just4 Kicks" grassroots initiative, which focuses on foundational motor skills and sportsmanship for early-stage players, as well as intensive Summer Camp sessions. These programs utilize a structured technical curriculum to promote physical fitness and character building in a supportive, accessible community environment. Competitive Excellence & National Achievement- Facilitated entry and logistics for elite-level competitive tournaments and league pathways. A significant 2025 milestone included the PYSC 2007 team successfully competing through multiple qualifying levels to earn a spot at the National Championships in July 2025. Participation in such high-level events provides athletes with vital exposure to collegiate scouting and diverse competition, while fostering the resilience and discipline required for national-stage performance. Financial Accessibility & Community Impact- Organized community fundraising events, such as the club BBQ and awards dinner, to maintain program affordability for all participants. These efforts ensured that high-level athletic opportunities-including the pathway to National competitions-remained accessible to underserved families, bridging the gap between registration fees and the total cost of elite-level youth development

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 63% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
