The United States Soccer National Club Championships

The United States Soccer National Club is an organization that was formed in order to give young soccer players a chance to win a title of their own. It is called the United States Soccer National Club Championships. It started in summer of 2002, with both male and female U14 (14 years old) athletes. The United States Soccer National Club Championships has since grown to encompass more age group but never allowing a player older than 18 years. It is a way for young athletes to gain notice in the United States. The United States Soccer National Club Championships helps the players build confidence as they compete for the championship title.

Regional winners of the United States Soccer National Club Championships for each age group move on to compete in either the Eastern Final or the Western Final, depending on where their team is located. The finals are held separately then the winner from each is pitted against each other in the National Cup. The first United States Soccer National Club Championship National Cup was won by the boys of Chicago Magic and by the girls of FC DELCO.

The United States Soccer National Club Championship National Cup grew and expanded in 2003 because of its success the year before. It includes 5 age groups, including U14-U18, and the Premiere and Division 1 levels of play. The Western and Eastern Finals were removed and, instead, Regional champions went directly to the Finals. That same year, seven boys� and four girls� teams were crowned with the second United States Soccer National Club Championship National Cup at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minnesota.

In 2004, age groups U12 and U13 were added, allowing younger children to be able to compete in the United States Soccer National Club Championship National Cup. The total number of awards given at this United States Soccer National Club Championship National Cup was eleven for the boys� teams and six for the girls� teams. The United States Soccer National Club Championship National Cup was held in North Carolina and included all of the age groups. Also, the Super Group level was added for the boys� tournament where the best teams from across the country compete for a separate National Final.

The United States Soccer National Club Championship remains an avenue for young athlete to break into national competition. It has allowed soccer to become a popular sport for both children and adult. The United States Soccer National Club Championship has armed these young athletes and they will grow up having the skills and experience to become great adult players and help the United States become a top soccer team where they will become formidable players internationally where Brazil and Italy currently reign supreme.

Soccer Fundraising

It seems like soccer fundraising is either a season-long effort or a quick hitter that doesn't cover all your needs.

Well, the good news is that there are some ways to make money quickly, or even all season long, that merit your consideration.

What are your fundraising goals?

Many youth sports teams and leagues want:

1 - Fundraisers that can be done with little effort
2 - Fundraisers that may be done sporadically
3 - Fundraisers that will produce significant results


Soccer fundraising programs
In this article, we'll examine several soccer fundraisers that are quick hitting and sure to score.

The three soccer fundraising programs are:

1 - Bottled water

2 - Shot cage and radar gun

3 - Fast-food discount cards

Soccer Fundraising: Bottled Water
The first soccer fundraising program is selling bottled water. Consider for a moment that each team member will bring water to every practice and to every game. That's at least a couple dozen bottles right there and probably a whole lot more.

Add in sales to spectators and you've got at least 500 bottles that could easily be sold. Sure, you can buy in bulk at a warehouse club, but you can add extra value to your soccer fundraising with private branding of your bottled water, either as a team or as a league.

The initial setup for each label is $75 and afterward, the unique label with your logo emblazoned in color costs nothing extra. Prices for the bottled spring water are wholesale, which allows your group a comfortable 50% profit margin.

When you think about it, doesn't it make sense to capture the wholesale-to-retail markup for your group while building team spirit at the same time?


Soccer Fundraising: Shot Cage
The second soccer fundraising program is best suited for a league-wide effort. On Picture Day, during a tournament, or at any other event with high attendance, set up a soccer "shot cage" with a radar gun to measure velocity.

Every player will want multiple chances to show just how fast their shot speeds toward the goal. You can set up contests with prizes for various age ranges, team awards, Top Gun, etc.

Soccer fundraising featuring a radar-equipped shooting cage is actually an inexpensive event to host.

Several companies rent the equipment by the week with radar gun, cage, and freight all included for less than $350.

You can also find suppliers who will put together a soccer fundraiser with a hosted radar cage and do a revenue split with your group, so there would be no upfront cost.

To maximize your soccer fundraising success, price shots in a multi-shot package, such as two for $1 or other combinations.

Count the number of players in your league or potential shooters at a tournament event and determine if this type of soccer fundraising is right for your group.

For additional information, you can contact national supplier Absolute Amusements.


Soccer Fundraising: Fast-food Discount Cards
The third soccer fundraiser is one that your group can use once or use to raise funds all season long. And that's selling fast food discount cards.

This is a simple item to sell. Each fundraising discount card contains a certain number of two-for-one meal packages at a well-known fast food outlet.

Participating companies include McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dominoes Pizza, and other large fast-food chains.

Your group purchases a certain number of these cards in advance and sells them to families or individuals that will appreciate a substantial discount. The number of two-for-one deals on each card varies by company.

Pizza Hut's card offers a free pizza with the purchase of another pizza up to a maximum of ten. The McDonalds card seems to offer the least number of "double deals" but its also one of the most popular.

Each card retails for $10 and costs between $1 to $2. Each one features the fast-food company's logo on the front along with a message stating that 80-90% of the price of this card goes to support your soccer fundraising group.

It's a nice way to tap into the consumer spending revenue stream with an attractive product that benefits both parties.

Find out more about fundraising discount cards from a supplier that handles all the different cards.


These programs allow your group to reap an excellent return by offering quality products that require only moderate effort. They are guaranteed to score a goal every time out with your players and your supporters.
