1. Market Analysis
USA
18 million soccer players, the most in the world
Nobody playing for the top teams in Europe while dominating almost every sport besides soccer
Holland has about 1 million and has about 25 players playing for the top teams
Cause analysis We feel a lot has to do with the lack of the fundament in soccer: the technical and tactical development at the young ages (especially between 7 and 12). Something the Dutch school is known for. And which we want to combine with the mental and physical strength the US is known for. By coping the best Academy of Holland (FC Twente) and bringing it to Dayton.
OHIO-Dayton Facts and Figures
OHIO is one of the top 10 States in the US as far as active youth soccer players; amount has doubled since 1990
OHIO ranked 8th nationally as far as registered youth players (*p4)
Soccer largest sport in Dayton and still gowing (pased baseball recently)
Three Dayton tournaments are one of the largest in the East Coast and generate over $8 million per year
But who plays in the National youth teams or has gone professional? And who do they have to look up to?
A lot of clubs in the Dayton region offer a good youth soccer product but no one is offering a Gateway to professional soccer. And this is exactly what the Dutch Lions FC stand for. It is our ambition to make Dayton Leading in soccer in the Great Lakes region. So in a few years people will say: for top soccer (development) you need to be in Dayton.

Dayton Dutch Lions FCThe Dayton Dutch Lions FC is a Dutch American soccer club with a European styled model with both a prestigious Youth Academy program (Dutch Lions FC) as well as a professional team (Dayton Dutch Lions FC) that played in the Premier Development League of the United Soccer Leagues (USL) in 2010. In 2011 the team will play in the USL Pro League (1st Division after MLS) and also have a womens team. The Dayton Dutch Lions FC is a mix of 9 Dutch professional players (7 played for the Dutch National youth teams; one even played for the Dutch National Team) and 14 US players, mainly local and former graduates of colleges in or around Dayton. Head Coach for the 2010 team was Sonny Silooy, who played for Ajax Amsterdam in Holland and won the Championship 7 times, the Champions League Trophy, the European Super Cup, the World Cup and he also played 25 games for the Dutch National team.

During May-July 2010 FC Twente had an Advisor in Dayton to set up the Dutch Lions FC Academy and train the Dutch Lions FC coaches according to their development model.
3. Dutch Lions FC Objectives
Dayton Dutch Lions FC has three objectives for the coming years:

PROFESSIONAL BRANDING
5. Dutch Lions FC Stadium Complex
To really make Dayton number one in soccer in the region we would have to built a soccer specific stadium in a Dutch style, with 5000-6000 seats with covered stands, 4 fields behind the stadium and a clubhouse located in the centre where all players and parents meet.
The stadium would have both retail and office space for rent. With approximately 50 teams in 3 years we would have 1500-2000 people visiting the stadium 5 nights a week for practices and in the weekend anywhere between 1000-6000 for (exhibition) games, tournaments, concerts etc. It is an ideal location for supermarkets, stores, health care etc. While practicing the parent(s) can do the shopping they needed to do etc.
Example calculation:
20 retail spaces for $ 5.000,- per month ($ 100.000,- per month, $1.200.000,- per year)
20 (small) office spaces for $ 1.250,- per month ($ 25.000,- month, $ 300.000 per year)
20 VIP boxes/office space for $3.000,- per month ($ 60.000 per month, $ 720.000 per year)
Rental of stadium/fields for $ X
The stadium would also attract top (international) teams to come to Dayton for training purposes and/or tournaments.

7. Dutch Lions FC ROI from player sales
Most clubs in the USA (and OHIO) are focussed on making money through membership fees. Most clubs in Europe are focussed on making money through educating young players in their Youth Academy and receive transfer fees for them if the perform well in their professional team.
In 2005 FC Twente purchased two young players for $200.000 and put them in their Academy. In 2009 they sold both for $24 million.
FIFA RegulationsEach time a player gets sold, FIFA regulation states 5% goes to the club where the player was in the Youth Academy. If he has been in the Dutch Lions FC Premier Academy, the club receives this $ each time he is sold. For instance, Arjan Robben was sold 3 times the last 5 years (Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayer Munich) for an average of $20 million per transfer. Each time $1 million went to his old youth club(s). Besides that, 30% of the transfer fee often goes to his previous club.
Besides getting a return on investment in the 3rd-4th year through membership fees in the Academy, the interesting part will come after year 5-7, when we anticipate bringing our first players to Europe and getting both an education compensation fee as well as a transfer fee.

Dutch Lions FC community approach
It is the ambition of the Dutch Lions FC to offer the best development possible to kids in the Dayton area. In order to get more involved in the community the Dutch Lions FC organized a number of activities in 2010.
Gave free soccer clinics to over 6000 kids at various Elementary schools (between March and June); one home game was designated a special School Night, each participating school could win an exclusive visit from the entire professional team (won by Incarnation). The schools that were visited Include: Incarnation Centerville, Driscol Centerville, John Hole Centerville, Stingley Centerville, Weller Centerville, Dennis east/west Springboro, Morain Meadows Kettering, Medlar View Miamisburg, Oakview Kettering, Orchard Park Kettering
Players appeared at request to festivals and tournaments in the Dayton region
We developed partnerships with local soccer clubs: the first club that signed an agreement was Bellbrook Soccer club; the Dutch Lions FC will train their coaches at least three times and the kids from Bellbrook SC get a large discount for all the Dutch Lions FC camps and to the home games of the Dayton Dutch Lions FC
