Buy a Youth Athletes United Franchise

Youth Athletes United (YAU) is a youth sports franchise platform formed in 2018, uniting three established brands under one franchisor: Soccer Stars, Amazing Athletes, and TGA. Soccer Stars teaches soccer for children ages 1 to 18; Amazing Athletes covers ten sports for ages 18 months to 7 years; and TGA offers tennis, golf, and pickleball programs for ages 5 to 14. All three brands run on a home-based, mobile model; franchisees deliver programs at schools, parks, community centers, and sports facilities with no storefront required.

Franchisees choose one brand or combine multiple brands in their territory, with natural cross-enrollment as children progress through the portfolio. YAU maintains a Preferred Partner Network of national childcare and early education organizations — among them Learning Care Group, Kiddie Academy, and Spring Education Group — giving franchisees structured access to established family venues.

The individual brands’ origins predate the platform: Soccer Stars was founded in 2000, TGA in 2003, and Amazing Athletes in 2006, each building a track record in its sports category. Together the three brands serve over 300,000 children annually across hundreds of locations nationwide.

Why buy a Youth Athletes United Franchise?

The YAU platform gives buyers entry into a well-established youth sports category at a lower capital threshold than most franchise concepts, with the option to expand into a multi-brand operator over time. Each of the three brands targets a distinct age group and sport category, so an owner can extend community reach across demographics without competing with their own programs.

The home-based model eliminates commercial lease costs, and scheduling flexibility aligns naturally with school and childcare calendars. The Preferred Partner Network provides a structured path into schools and childcare chains that already have enrolled families, reducing the prospecting burden of building a new territory. A 10 percent franchise fee discount is available for veterans and educators.

Youth Athletes United – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    YAU provides franchisees with in-person training, online platform modules, and ongoing dedicated coaching from the franchisor's support team. Ongoing support includes a proprietary registration system built for mobile youth sports programs, recurring operational guidance, and coach recruiting frameworks. Marketing support covers national advertising, social media content systems, and an integrated parent-child website structure with local SEO. Franchisees participate in an annual conference. Resale buyers should confirm with YAU what transfer training and proprietary registration system access is provided to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The ideal YAU franchisee is community-oriented and comfortable building relationships with school administrators, childcare operators, and parents. Sales and local outreach are central to growing program enrollment; prior experience in youth sports, education, or business development is helpful, though not required given the franchisor's training structure. Day-to-day operations involve scheduling sessions, recruiting and managing program coaches, coordinating with venue partners, and handling parent communication. Owners who are process-driven and comfortable delegating program delivery to a coached team can scale across multiple brands within their territory.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    YAU's brands have accumulated a sustained record of recognition from Franchise Business Review (FBR), which bases its rankings on independent franchisee satisfaction surveys. Amazing Athletes has received FBR Top Franchise recognition annually since 2019, earning in 2025 and 2024: Franchisee Satisfaction, Culture, Low Cost, Recession-Proof, and Most Innovative franchise awards. The FBR Hall of Fame designation reflects ten consecutive years of these results. Soccer Stars appeared in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 in 2020, and the platform received Franchise Journal Top Brands recognition in 2021.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US youth sports instruction market supports substantial annual spending on organized programming and enrichment activities for children. Demand is driven by parental investment in structured physical activity, growing enrollment in early-childhood sports programs, and a durable base of families with school-age children. Mobile, session-based models operating within existing community facilities carry lower capital requirements than facility-based competitors. For resale buyers, territory performance depends on enrollment density, the strength of venue partnerships, and the range of age groups and sports already active in the market.
