Football,
opened up.

PROTOCOL / 01 Member standard

Shared rules.
Independent edge.

OFF is not another club badge. It is the shared infrastructure underneath each member: clear commitments that protect access without flattening identity.

A $950 cap changes the family math.

These are official public examples, not a complete market average. Club costs can vary by age group, team level, payment plan, travel, uniforms, referee fees, and tournament choices.

ENGINE / 03 How OFF is funded

Revenue in.
Players forward.

When an OFF player earns a spot at a top-tier club, club dues can climb past $3,400 a year. OFF closes that gap so family budgets don't decide whether a kid keeps going. Every dollar comes from the leagues and tournaments we operate — non-profit by design.

01PROCESS

Earn the revenue

OFF runs competitive soccer that families and teams already want — local league play, summer 7v7 tournaments, and member-club events — at fair, transparent prices.

  • DDSL league play
  • Venom Tournaments
  • Member-club events
02PROCESS

Pool the proceeds

Net proceeds flow into a federation-level player-advancement fund. Because OFF is a 501(c)(3), every dollar is accounted for and reinvested into the game.

  • Advancement fund
  • Coaching stipends
  • Federation ops
03PROCESS

Sponsor advancement

When an OFF player signs with a larger club like FC Dallas or Solar, we apply the fund directly to their dues. Talent earns the spot; the federation helps cover the cost of taking it.

  • Dues sponsorship
  • Application based
  • Need-aware
THE GAP WE CLOSE$3,400+

Top-tier club dues can run $3,400+ per year. The advancement fund closes the gap, not the talent.
