For our camps you pay $200.00 for one person and $250.00 for the family package. Those camps take one month, five days a week in the summer for each individual sport. For our individual lessons we do golf on the weekends anytime of the year and for basketball we do the same only we offer lessons on Thursday and Friday nights.

Competitive Analysis

• Our competition is very competitive in St. Tammany Parish since we have so many of these sports clinics in St. Tammany Parish. Our two big main competitors for golf our Abita Springs Golf Club and the Covington Golf Club. Abita Springs charges between 35 and 40 dollars for one lesson. The Covington Golf Club charges $50.00 for one lesson, which to us is very unreasonable. We charge $35.00 for one lesson or we offer our membership.

Competitive Analysis

• For our basketball and football programs we compete with Northshore Basketball and Kurt Hester. Northshore Basketball charges $240.00 to $260.00 for a camp in the summer, again we charge $200.00 for one person and $250.00 for the family package. Kurt Hesters charges $300.00 for a three month camp. The thing with Hesters is they concentrate on the conditioning for football, we concentrate on the fundamentals during our camps.

Financials

• Northshore Financial plan has a start up cost of $11,000. Since we operate out of Pelican Park we don’t have to pay for a building, we have to pay Pelican Park a lease of $500.00. Our payroll is $6,500. Our revenue for this past year was close to 2 million dollars from our entry fee, generous donations, and contributions. Our revenue looks to grow in the years to come.
