TGA Franchise Analysis

Youth sports programs like TGA tap into the endless demand for active kids' education, blending golf, tennis, pickleball, and more through school partnerships. Item 19 delivers rare revenue transparency for a brand just franchising since 2021, but a recent dip in total locations raises eyebrows—is this a temporary hiccup in a high-potential niche or a red flag for scalability? Unlock the specifics to see if the numbers align with your investment goals.

Item 7 lays out a relatively accessible entry: $72,750 to $111,250 total investment, including a $49,500 franchise fee, making it one of the lower-cost options in sports and recreation education. Ongoing fees stack up to 8% royalty on gross sales, 1% brand fund, plus a fixed $380 monthly for technology, software, and bookkeeping—higher ongoing burden than bare-bones systems but covering proprietary curricula delivery. Item 19 shines here for a young franchisor, reporting average gross revenue of $138,988 and median $121,205 from existing units; assuming 20-30% expenses typical for service-based (camps, clinics), EBITDA could approach $30K-$50K per territory, appealing for semi-absentee operators targeting preschools and elementary schools.

System health shows 53 franchised and 1 corporate location, contracting from 57 to 55 units (-4%) between 2023-2024, with only 2 projected new units. Churn includes 2 terminations, 3 non-renewals, and 4 transfers—elevated for the size, hinting at early operator struggles in a post-2021 rollout under parent Super Sports Holdings. No massive litigation waves, but the contraction and modest growth trajectory mean you'd need strong local youth demographics and sales hustle; at this price point, it's viable for passionate sports educators, but verify demand before committing in saturated school markets.
