How to score with a football franchise

The disappointment of when last years Euro’s got cancelled, in the midst of the pandemic was a crushing blow to peoples spirits. But, with the rescheduled International football competition now only a month away, we look at why you should look to join the football franchise sector.

The sports sector as a whole within the franchise industry is one of the best, not only because it is usually a low-cost opportunity but also because you have a chance to change children’s lives through sport. Now that may sound cliché, however it is intentional. You are quite literally inspiring a new generation of children by installing healthy lifestyle habits with physical education and socialising. Now if you are looking for a profitable and rewarding business, then continue reading.

The franchise opportunity within football franchises is usually low-cost because other than the equipment (footballs/cones/bibs etc) the rest is all down to you. The way you coach, your people skills and how you operate is what will help produce business in lots of ways. The flexibility in a football franchise is from the get go, with opportunities arising at every corner.

The great thing about football franchises is that they are always in demand. Football is the main sport in the UK and is second to none in terms of popularity. From young children, amateurs, elites and even the veterans, everyone plays football. A great indicator of a reputable business is that they reached out to your local schools and do Lunch Clubs, After School Clubs or even their main PE lessons. Sessions can be done in the Half Term, weekends or evenings, there is literally no time frame that you cannot make work. This is what really makes this franchise sector so practical and profitable. You can take on as much as work as possible during your days. A reputable football franchise will hopefully provide you access to these partnerships and look for you to gain territory wide contracts.

Another great benefit from joining an existing football franchise is the constant ongoing support and training you will receive to provide you with updated training techniques to pass on to your students. You will have an unlimited amount of access to the latest drills, equipment, and processes so that you can deliver the highest quality sessions and gain a rewarding reputation yourself.

When joining a football franchise you also gain the national marketing and branding that allows you to get instant recognition. Not only do you become more trustworthy and invested in from your customers, but you will also be able to rely on your franchisor for additional support. Some franchisors even have custom built apps that allow your customers to book on to your available courses, only further aiding your business venture.

The demand for football franchises will be even greater at this current time, with children for the past year missing out on the opportunity to play football first and foremost but also socialise with their friends. More and more clubs will be filling up and limited spots is something you can avoid by getting involved in the rise of football clubs that offer a service. Do not forget, not only are the kids going to be enjoying themselves but the parents too. Football clubs are a fantastic opportunity for parents to see their child play football and widen their social network, but also allow parents to have time to do parent things. Football clubs offer a similar service to a day care, however instead of painting they will be running around scoring goals.

As mentioned earlier, the Euros this Summer is going to be a great event (fingers crossed) and spirits and morale will be high. The unity we had when we reached the Semi-Finals a few years ago was a sight to behold with England Flags parading around every street and car and the sound of ‘Footballs Coming Home’ booming from radio stations. This excitement will only boost the demand for football throughout the Summer Holidays and the camps that franchises put on will no doubt be fully booked as soon as they are available. 

There are some great existing football franchises to consider such as; Prestige Sports Development, Onside Coaching, Premier Sport and Active Sports Group among many others.
