SOCCER STARS/ SUPER SOCCER STARS
Soccer Stars franchises provide developmental soccer training and physical fitness programs to children aged 1 to 18 under trademarks like Soccer Stars, Super Soccer Stars, and Soccer Stars United. Franchisees deliver core programs through live practices, events, and some digital content, with optional plus programs including travel soccer, school spirit leagues, and inclusive programs for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. The business model involves operating within exclusive territories, targeting parents and schools seeking youth sports education and fitness via sessions at preschools, schools, camps, and events.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 94 franchised outlets open for full year 2025, operating for at least one year.
* Average Gross Revenue, Gross Profit, Net Income After Royalties, and Net Operating Income (used for Average Net Profit) were extracted directly from Table 3A, 'A: The following is a consolidated Profit and Loss Statement for all reporting franchise outlets.' This table represents per-unit averages. The total number of franchised units (poc_number) was calculated by summing the units owned by franchisees across categories described in the 'Notes to Table 5' (which also apply to Tables 6 and 7). Specifically, for 14 Top 25% owners: (2*1 + 5*2 + 2*3 + 4*4 + 1*5) = 39 units. For 27 Middle 50% owners: (18*1 + 7*2 + 2*3) = 38 units. For 14 Bottom 25% owners: (12*1 + 1*2 + 1*3) = 17 units. Total franchised units = 39 + 38 + 17 = 94 units. Per-unit median, top quartile, and bottom quartile revenue data were not provided in the document; only per-owner segmented data was available, which was not used as per strict instructions to extract only per-unit data for these fields.

SOCCER STARS/ SUPER SOCCER STARS Franchise Analysis
What if the key to tapping the exploding youth sports education market lay in a franchise blending soccer fun with developmental milestones for kids as young as one? Soccer Stars, with its Soccer Stars, Super Soccer Stars, and Soccer Stars United brands, has quickly scaled to over 150 locations since franchising began in 2022, teasing solid Item 19 revenue insights and a trail of SBA loans that suggest real investor traction. Yet amid this growth spurt, a handful of terminations raises the question: is this nimble player poised for field dominance or still finding its footing?
Item 7 lays out a lean entry: $49,500 franchise fee within a $70,350-$102,250 total investment, far below many peers in children's enrichment. Ongoing fees hit 8% royalty plus 1% ad fund, plus $200 monthly tech and up to $150 bookkeeping—manageable for a low-overhead model relying on preschools, schools, and events in exclusive territories. Item 19 shines with $221,325 average gross revenue across units, backed by 13 SBA loans averaging $189,792, signaling banks' comfort with the model's viability. At 164 locations (6 corporate), 2024-2025 growth of 11% (139 to 154 units) and 11 projected opens show momentum, though 5 terminations and 5 transfers warrant scrutiny.
System health looks robust for a 2022 launch: low litigation (one settled arbitration over termination and fees) and no major red flags, but the youth of the program means franchisee support is evolving. Prospective buyers should probe FDD Items 19-20 for granular revenue/profit breakdowns by territory size and program mix (core vs. add-ons like travel soccer or inclusive disability programs), validate SBA success stories, and audit termination causes to gauge long-term stability in this parent-driven niche.
