How It Works: Money Flow & Player Signups

We've structured this partnership to be simple, compliant, and flexible. Here's exactly how the money flows and how your players get access.

The Legal Framework

The Skills Club subscription is structured as a program expense — your club invests in a curriculum and training platform for all players, similar to purchasing equipment or coaching education. The revenue share you receive is classified as Program Service Revenue, which is fully acceptable for 501(c)(3) organizations.

Why This Is Fully Compliant:

  • No private benefit — All revenue flows to your club's general account, not individual families
  • Mission-aligned expense — The training platform directly supports your club's educational purpose
  • Program service revenue — Revenue from program activities is standard and acceptable
  • Club maintains control — Your board decides how to allocate revenue within your mission
RECOMMENDED

Option 1: Raise Club Fees

How it works:

  1. Club raises dues by $30/player/year to cover Skills Club subscription cost. Board approval required (no parent vote needed—this is a standard program expense).
  2. Club purchases Skills Club memberships for all players using club funds
  3. Recorded as "Training Platform/Curriculum Investment" expense
  4. Club receives 33% or 50% revenue share quarterly to general account
  5. Revenue share can fund equipment, maintenance, salaries, or KickWall installation for larger clubs
  6. Revenue classified as "Program Service Revenue"

Strategic Benefit for Larger Clubs:

Clubs with 2,000+ members raising dues by $30/player can fund Skills Club access while generating $19,800-$30,000/year in revenue share. This revenue stream can significantly accelerate KickWall installation funding.

Example: Club with 500 players raises dues from $300 to $330/year. Club purchases Skills Club access ($15,000), then receives $4,950/year back (33% share). Net cost: $10,050 for a $15,000 training platform, plus $4,950/year in additional revenue.

✅ Maximum revenue generation
✅ KickWall funding acceleration
✅ Cleanest compliance structure

Option 2: Keep Dues Same (Incorporated)

How it works:

  1. Families pay regular club registration/dues (no separate payment)
  2. Club purchases Skills Club memberships for all players using existing club funds
  3. Recorded as "Training Platform/Curriculum Investment" expense
  4. Club receives 33% or 50% revenue share quarterly to general account
  5. Revenue share helps recoup investment and fund club operations
  6. Revenue classified as "Program Service Revenue"

Example: Club with 500 players charges $300/year in dues. Club purchases Skills Club access for all players ($15,000), then receives $4,950/year back (33% share). Net cost: $10,050 for a $15,000 training platform.

✅ Cleanest compliance structure
✅ No additional paperwork for families
✅ Club controls all access

Option 3: Separate Payment (Optional)

How it works:

  1. Families pay club dues separately from Skills Club subscription
  2. Club still purchases subscriptions in bulk (better pricing)
  3. Revenue share still flows to club general account
  4. Club maintains control over access distribution

Still compliant when structured correctly. Less preferred but available if your club prefers separate billing.

How Clubs Sign Up Players

1. Partnership Agreement

Club signs partnership agreement and chooses Tier 1 (33%) or Tier 2 (50%) revenue share.

2. Bulk Purchase

Club purchases X number of Skills Club memberships based on player count (e.g., 500 memberships for 500 players).

3. Access Distribution

Club distributes access codes/logins to players as part of their club membership benefits.

4. Quarterly Payments

Club receives revenue share payments quarterly, deposited directly to club's general account.

Key Point: Club as Purchaser & Controller

This structure works because the club is the purchaser and controller of the subscriptions, not individual families. This keeps all money flowing through the club's accounts and ensures compliance with 501(c)(3) rules on private benefit and inurement.
