Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $314,724 spent. Program revenue consists of player registration fees that are payable and due each bi-annual season. Fall season play begins in late August of each year and ends in the middle of November. Registration fees include the players uniform (shirt, shorts, socks) and also help to cover the fees associated with field rentals and referee costs. All teams are slated for 10 games in the Fall season. Most teams are slated for 8 games in the Spring season with a free in-house Tournament for our 4u-8u teams, and a free in-house Tournament for our 9u-12u players. The Spring season games usually begin the last week of February with games finishing within the first two weeks of May. We also provide referees for approved scrimmages and Season Kick-Off "friendlies." BESA hosts on average 1,450 players each season, with continued growth due to the organization working diligently to fundraise to ensure that we maintain our current registration rates while surrounding soccer associations continue to increase their registration costs. We recognize that we serve a population of children who are of a lower average income than our surrounding associations, and we want to make soccer affordable for all children who desire to play the game. Additionally, the organization offers discounts to players whose family documents that they are low income, using the same requirements as our local school districts. Those players receive a discounted registration fee of $50, versus the regular $95. BESA also covers the tournament fee for teams selected to play in the annual Tournament of Champions.
  2. $12,722 spent. Recreational camps w/o accommodation revenue consists of a weekly fee charged for Friday Night Skills sessions each Fall and Spring, as well as fees for Goalie Clinics held each Fall and Spring. Fees for Friday Night Skills are intended to cover the cost of sourcing coaches to conduct the weekly skill sessions. Goalie clinic fees are matched by the Association ($40 per attending player, matched by BESA to total $80) which is paid to the individual conducting the goalie clinic sessions. Goalie clinics are most costly given the specialized skill required of the individual leading the clinics. Headcounts for Friday Night clinics varies weekly, but on average weekly attendance is 40 registered players. Headcounts for Goalie Clinics tends to be steady each season, with an average of 20 registered players attending.
  3. $20,794 spent. IRS filing penalties fees, Community Investments, and Charitable Donations.
