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.
