So every single day I'm connected with coaches, and if you don't stay stuck with your business, get in contact with me so we can have a quick chat. Right, so today I wanna talk about something that a recent coach in our program, he asked me, yeah, it was a question, and it was how to build a soccer birthday party business. Right, I've been doing this now for a while with my training business, and it's something that if you run it properly, and if you run it to a good standard, it's something that can generate a lot of income. Right, I've helped coaches that, some coaches I'm working with currently, I'm helping them create this type of business and service. Right, so what I wanna share with you today are three very simple steps to building a soccer birthday party business that you can either run an entire business solely, just focusing on birthday parties, or you can have it as part of your training program. So when any of your current clients that are either in your one-to-one training, your groups, or they do your camps or clinics, they have a birthday party coming up. Right, this is something that you can promote and offer them on a monthly basis. Kids are having birthday parties every day, and every single week. So offering it as an extra part of your training business can help you to generate an extra bit of revenue. I've seen some coaches that offering this type of service brings in an extra one to $2,000 per month. Okay, so the three simple things I'm gonna share with you today are the following. Right, so number one, when you wanna set up this type of service, first one you need to have a location. So you need to have somewhere where you can run your birthday parties out of. Now, what I do in my business is I go into organizations and I offer to run the training side of the birthday party. So for example, a local center, a local soccer center that's near my area, what I do is I go in, well, at the beginning when I first started, I went in and I said to them, do you guys run birthday parties? And they said, yes. I said, okay, are you guys looking for extra coaches to run your parties for you? And they were like, we sure are. Okay, so something you can do, go into, it could be scores or organizations or anywhere that has kids and has a great facility and is a location where you feel, do you know what? We could probably run a birthday party out of there, go into them and say, and offer your service, offer to run birthday parties for their kids, right? I've got some coaches that run them for clubs, right? It's something that they offer clubs. So whenever a parent reaches out to the club for a birthday party, okay, that club then hires or contracts the coach to come in and run the party for and under the club's name, right? So essentially the parent will pay the club and then the club pays the coach. That's one way you can do it, right? So it's kind of like subcontracting, but also another way you can do it is you personally, you find the venue, you find the facility and you find the location to run your party of and you can come up with some sort of deal with the manager of that facility, of that site and see if they can do you a deal for running parties out, right? But the first one is it's location. So location is key and location, it has to be somewhere where you can host an event such as a birthday party. So it needs to have at least a turf field or it needs to have a field where you can do the training side of the party and then another area where parents and kids can sit down and have their foods and cut the birthday cake and just celebrate the birthday party away from the field. Okay, so where what I look for is has this facility got a pitch, a field and has it got a kind of indoor area where we can sit down and we can do the cake, we can eat and so on, right? So location is number one. Second one is insurance, right? Insurance is critical, insurance is important and insurance is necessary in order to run these type of events. Now, if you've watched any of our previous videos, then you'll know that once you start a business, you need to have insurance, right? Because if any of your, the kids at your, well, the kids at the birthday party or the clients that you work with, if any of them get injured, then you are potentially putting yourself at risk of being liable for that injury, right? If they have to go to hospital and they have to get surgery or whatever that is, right? You are liable to get sued if it gets to that point, right? So we wanna be protected and we wanna make sure we have insurance in place so that we can be protected in the event that something happens, okay? Normally nothing happens, but we as business owners need to protect ourselves and our business, okay? So insurance is very important and it's key, okay? So location, insurance, and the third one is a contract agreement. So when I ran my birthday parties privately, which meant I went into a facility and I set up everything. So all I did was I hide out the venue, the facility for that party. I made sure that there was an agreement in place with the parent that they signed. So in that agreement, it would be you state all your terms and conditions. You would state where the party is being held, how many kids are expected at that party, and what are the rules for the party. I also included a copy of my criminal background check to make sure, well, to ensure the parent that I have been checked. I've got no criminal record and I'm allowed to work with children, okay? And then there was a lot of other things that you can put in the agreement. You can also put that you, the agreement states that I will be running an hour and 15 training session and then the next part of the party will be food, drinks, whatever it is, right? So you can, in the agreement you put what is included within that party, okay? Now, this is really important because if you don't get parents to sign an agreement, and this is something that happened to me, right? When I started this type of service, I remember there was one parent that I spoke to and they got in contact with me. They said, right, Leo, we want to run a, we want you to run our child's soccer birthday party and we're expecting to have 10 kids. So I said, okay, great, I've, I had everything. I had the location, I had the insurance and I had myself for the coach, right? It was just me at the time that was running the party. But what happened is because there wasn't any agreement and because they didn't agree to, okay, only 10 kids were gonna, we're going to show up at our party. What happened is when on the day of the birthday, instead of having 10, I ended up having 25 kids, okay? Again, yes, it was great because what I did is I charged those parents extra for the extra kids that attended, but it affected me a lot because I wasn't prepared for those 25 kids because ultimately the way my business runs is if there's anywhere above 12 kids, then a second coach is needed. So I was expecting 10 and then I got 25. The session runs, the birthday runs smoothly. It was a success, but that 10 could have easily turned into 30 or 40 kids, okay? Because I know from experienced parents get very excited on the day of the party and they might just invite random kids, they might invite extra families, they might invite extra neighbors, friends, teammates, school friends, and from 10 it can jump to 30 very, very easily, okay? So in the agreement, you wanna state that they agree that only 10 kids will be attending that party. They agree to be at that party on the set day, set time that we've agreed on. They agree that I will only be running the training side of the party and they will be providing food, drink, a cake, and that they agree to my terms and conditions in terms of the payment. What I like to do with my parties when I do payment is there's a deposit that is paid in advance before the party happens. So what I normally do is I require a 50% deposit. So half the birthday party is paid before. So that that way, if they cancel, I keep 50% of the total amount of the party, right? So I'm not losing out. Because essentially what I can do is I can hire coaches, I can get the equipment in, I get everything ready and then suddenly they've canceled and I've lost out on everything and I have to pay that coach, right? So I require 50% upfront paid before the party begins and then once the party is finished on the day, the rest has to be paid, okay? Now, there's some coaches that they like to do the whole payment upfront. There's some coaches that prefer to be paid on the day, right? That depends on you. But from experience, I recommend the parent leaving at least a deposit so that they can pay something in the event they canceled last minute, okay? And part of the contract agreement is that they agree to pay a deposit seven days before the birthday party and then the second half of the birthday party, they agree to pay it on the day of the party, okay? And that they agree to all the terms and conditions and that there won't be any extra kids attending. Now, what I do is I put a clause which states that if there is any extra kids that do attend on the day, they get charged at a higher rate than the kids that are currently attending. So I'll give you an example. If, for example, I was charging $20 per kid, once the agreement, once the contract was created, say I've got 20 kids, no, say I've got 10 kids, right? And I'm charging every kid $20 to attend, right? So that means the parents are paying me 200 for to run that birthday party. Now, if we get any extra kids, say we get 10 extra kids, what I would do instead of charging those extra kids $20, I would charge them $30 extra on top of what they've already paid, okay? And that is just a little bit of an inconvenience fee that they pay you on the day, okay? So essentially, instead of paying me 200, they would end up paying me 500 because if they've invited 10 more kids at $30 per child, that's 300 plus the 200 that they would have been paying for the party. So essentially you can make an extra $500 running a birthday party. Now, I hope that makes sense, right? If it doesn't, and you wanna speak to me, okay? Take advantage of the free call.
