A Confidential Investment Opportunity
Parkland Sports
Alberta’s Next Premier Indoor Turf Facility
1. Executive Summary
The Opportunity
Parkland County, Alberta — one of the fastest-growing family-oriented communities west of Edmonton — has no indoor turf facility. Nearly two thousand youth soccer players and several hundred adult players compete for scarce field time at distant, overbooked venues like Tri-Leisure Center, West Soccer Center, and TTC1 & TTC2. Alberta’s harsh winters shut down outdoor play for months, yet demand for year-round training, leagues, and tournaments continues to surge. Facility utilization — not demand — is the limiting factor in this sector.
Parkland Sports Centre is the answer: a 60,000+ sq ft indoor turf facility featuring two full 9v9 fields under two double truss shelter structures, purpose-built to serve as the region’s first and only dedicated indoor turf venue. Developed and operated by Capital-SP Football Association (a society/not-for-profit) alongside Capital-SP Academy Incorporated (the for-profit operating company), this facility leverages over five years of incorporated academy operations, relationships with over 200 active players and hundreds of families, and established partnerships with Parkland School District, Spruce Grove Saints, and Parkland Fusion.
The Ask
We are seeking CAD $5,000,000 in investor capital to fund construction, turf and infrastructure, land acquisition, operations setup, and contingency. The facility is projected to generate $1.6M+ in gross annual revenue from field rentals alone — benchmarked at $800,000+ per field — before academy programming, tournaments, concessions, merchandise, and sponsorship revenue.
Projected Returns
Investors can expect ~9% annual return (base case) through a loan-with-interest structure over a 5–7 year term, with 12–15%+ upside potential through increased utilization, sponsorship revenue, and tournament expansion. This is a conservative, cash-flow-first investment with immediate revenue generation and proven demand. Construction begins July 2026 with doors open no later than November 2026.
This is not simply an investment in a building. It is a partnership with the only organization that possesses the community trust, soccer expertise, supplier relationships, and operational infrastructure to make this facility a reality. Capital-SP is the essential partner — and this document will demonstrate why. The two-field model unlocks existing demand through increased capacity — not speculative growth.
2. Vision & Opportunity
The Vision
A continuously accessible turf sport facility that transforms Parkland County into a year-round soccer hub — improving access, performance, and opportunity for youth players aged 6–18 and beyond.
The Mission
Year-round training and leagues for youth soccer, delivered through a self-sustaining facility model that uses its income to fund growth, expansion, and community impact.
Core Values
- Development — Player growth at every level
- Dedication — Commitment to excellence in programming and operations
- Commitment — Long-term investment in community and sport
The Market Gap
Parkland County and its surrounding communities represent a significant underserved market for indoor turf facilities:
- Nearly 2,000 youth soccer players in the catchment area, with numbers continually growing
- Several hundred adult players participating in soccer alone
- Fast-growing young families spearheading population growth and demand for youth programming
- Zero dedicated indoor turf facilities currently operating in Parkland County
- Chronic field shortages — field time is extremely difficult to secure during peak seasons
- Alberta’s climate demands indoor facilities for 5–6 months of the year, yet existing options (Tri-Leisure Center, West Soccer Center, TTC1 & TTC2) are distant, overbooked, and expensive
- Facility utilization — not demand — is the limiting factor in this sector; the two-field model directly addresses this constraint
Why Now
The window of opportunity is narrow. Capital-SP’s primary competitive concern is that delays could allow a competitor to deliver a similar facility first. The first mover in this market captures the community relationships, booking commitments, and brand loyalty that create a durable competitive advantage. Capital-SP already holds these relationships — the facility is the missing piece.
3. Why Capital-SP: The Essential Partnership
“This isn’t just an investment in a building — it’s a partnership with the only team that can make this work.”
The Capital-SP Advantage
Building an indoor turf facility is a construction project. Making it succeed is an entirely different challenge — one that requires deep roots in the soccer community, operational expertise, established programming, and trusted relationships that take years to build. Capital-SP brings all of this to the table. No other organization in Parkland County can replicate it.
Established Community Trust
Capital-SP Academy has operated for several years (five years incorporated), serving over 200 players annually across multiple programs in Alberta alone. Hundreds of families trust Capital-SP with their children’s athletic development. This trust doesn’t transfer to a building — it transfers to the people and organization behind it.
- Parkland School District — established partnership
- Spruce Grove Saints — established partnership
- Parkland Fusion — established partnership
- Letters of intent from clubs and schools confirming willingness to rent field time
- Municipal engagement — introductory meetings with local government already underway
The Dual-Entity Strategic Advantage
Capital-SP’s structure is deliberately designed to maximize both community impact and investor returns:
- Capital-SP Football Association (society/not-for-profit) — Owns the land and major improvements. Governed by a 5-member board with expertise in finance, construction, legal, and administration. The not-for-profit structure enables community trust, potential future grant access, and tax-efficient operations.
- Capital-SP Academy Incorporated (for-profit operating company) — Serves as the anchor tenant and operational engine. Generates revenue through programming, events, and facility management. Provides the commercial discipline and accountability investors require.
This structure ensures that community mission and financial returns reinforce each other rather than compete. The society protects the asset and community purpose; the operating company drives revenue and efficiency.
Irreplaceable Operational Expertise
Capital-SP’s leadership team brings direct, relevant experience:
- Alex — Coaching, management, academy operations
- Carl — Coaching, management, events
The academy currently spends over $50,000 annually (heavily subsidized) on renting 1,100+ field hours from other facilities. This represents built-in demand that immediately transfers to the new facility — demand that no competing developer could capture without Capital-SP’s participation.
Exclusive Programming & Revenue Streams
Capital-SP’s established programming creates revenue streams that are exclusive to this partnership:
- 3v3 Futbol Cup — Established tournament (approximately 120 participants per edition, limited only by current space/booking constraints)
- Indy Skillz Championship — Established tournament (approximately 120 participants per edition)
- Academy training programs — Multiple programs running year-round
- School partnerships — Direct pipeline to Parkland School District programming
- Homeschool Physical Education — Specialized programming for homeschool families
- Camping & RV Summer Break Tournaments — Unique event programming
Why This Cannot Be Replicated Independently
An investor considering an independent facility development would face:
- No community relationships — Years of trust-building cannot be purchased or fast-tracked
- No anchor tenant — The academy’s 1,100+ hours of annual demand provides a revenue floor
- No programming expertise — Tournament organization, coaching networks, and curriculum development require specialized knowledge
- No school/club partnerships — These relationships are personal and institutional, built over years
- No operational team — Recruiting qualified soccer operations leadership in Parkland County would be extremely difficult
- No brand recognition — Capital-SP is a known and trusted name in the community
Capital-SP is not just a partner — Capital-SP is the venture. The facility is the infrastructure; Capital-SP is the engine that makes it profitable.
4. The Facility Plan

5. Building Solutions — Our Strategic Approach
Capital-SP’s building strategy reflects deep research, cost optimization expertise, and pragmatic phasing. Rather than committing to a single expensive permanent structure, we deploy a combination of building technologies — each chosen for its specific advantages at each phase of development.
5.1 Double Truss Shelters — The Phase 1 Powerhouse
The primary facility structures will be two double truss shelters — semi-permanent to permanent structures built using steel or aluminum truss frames with heavy-duty PVC fabric covering. This is what Capital-SP refers to as “tentage to start,” and it represents the smartest Phase 1 choice for several compelling reasons. Both structures can be erected in parallel, enabling both fields to open simultaneously.
Why Double Truss Shelters for Phase 1
- Rapid deployment — Significantly faster to erect than conventional buildings, enabling the July–November 2026 construction timeline; both structures erected in parallel
- Cost-effective — Lower cost per square foot compared to traditional steel or concrete construction
- Clear-span interiors — No interior columns, maximizing the full field area for each 9v9 field
- Natural light — Translucent fabric allows daylight penetration, reducing energy costs
- Scalable — Modular design allows for expansion as demand grows
- Relocatable — Can be disassembled and moved if site strategy evolves
- Minimal site preparation — Less foundation work than traditional buildings
- Engineered for Alberta conditions — Designed to handle local wind and snow load requirements
- Parallel programming — Two structures enable simultaneous league play and training, maximizing peak-hour revenue

This phased building strategy keeps the initial $5M budget realistic while creating a clear path to a multi-field, full-service sports complex — all funded by the facility’s own revenue generation.
6. Business Model & Revenue Projections
Revenue Model Overview
Capital-SP’s revenue model is built on a diversified foundation with field rentals as the primary driver, supplemented by programming, events, and ancillary services. With two fields operating simultaneously, the facility achieves $800,000+ revenue per field, totaling $1.6M+ annually — based on competitive pricing benchmarks and high utilization scheduling. Industry benchmarks confirm that rentals + leagues = ~65–80% of revenue, and 60–80% utilization is required for strong profitability.
Primary Revenue: Field Rentals
The facility operates on a tiered hourly rental model reflecting market-standard pricing for the region:
| Time Period | Hours | Rate/Hour | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre Prime-Time | 6am–5pm (weekdays) / 6am–9am (weekends) | $50/hr | Schools, homeschool programs, daytime training |
| Prime-Time | 5pm–10pm (weekdays) / 9am–9pm (weekends) | $225/hr | Club training, leagues, competitive programs |
| Post Prime-Time | 10pm–12am (weekdays) / 9pm–1am (weekends) | $100/hr | Adult rec leagues, late training sessions |
Regional pricing context: Comparable indoor turf in the region currently charges $100–$250/hr. Capital-SP’s tiered model captures the full market — from budget-conscious daytime users to premium prime-time demand.
Weekly Hours Breakdown (Per Field)
| Period | Weekday Hours | Weekend Hours | Total Weekly Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre Prime-Time | 11 hrs/day × 5 = 55 | 3 hrs/day × 2 = 6 | 61 hours |
| Prime-Time | 5 hrs/day × 5 = 25 | 12 hrs/day × 2 = 24 | 49 hours |
| Post Prime-Time | 2 hrs/day × 5 = 10 | 4 hrs/day × 2 = 8 | 18 hours |
| Total per Field | 90 hrs | 38 hrs | 128 hours/week |
Two-Field Total: 256 hours/week available
Revenue Projections at 100% Utilization (Two Fields)
| Period | Hours/Week (2 fields) | Rate/Hour | Weekly Income | Monthly Income* | Yearly Income |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre Prime-Time | 122 | $50 | $6,100 | $26,413 | $317,200 |
| Prime-Time | 98 | $225 | $22,050 | $95,477 | $1,145,700 |
| Post Prime-Time | 36 | $100 | $3,600 | $15,588 | $187,200 |
| Total | 256 | — | $31,750 | $137,478 | $1,650,100 |
*Monthly based on 4.33 weeks per month (52 weeks ÷ 12 months)
Utilization Scenarios
Based on Capital-SP’s market knowledge and booking projections:
| Metric | Year 1 | Year 3 | Year 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prime-Time Utilization | 50% | 70% | 95% |
| Non-Prime Utilization | 60% | 75% | 90% |
Secondary Revenue Streams
| Revenue Stream | Description | Status | Contribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Academy Programming | Year-round training, camps, clinics | Established — transferring from current operations | Core base |
| Leagues | Seasonal team registrations across both fields | Established — currently limited by space | High recurring |
| Tournaments & Events | 3v3 Futbol Cup, Indy Skillz Championship, new events | Established — currently limited by space | Peak revenue |
| Café / Concession | Food and beverage service | Planned — potentially third-party vendor | Incremental |
| Merchandise / Pro Shop | Equipment and apparel sales | Planned — potentially third-party vendor | Incremental |
| Sponsorships & Naming Rights | Field naming, tournament sponsorship, facility advertising | Planned | Scalable |
| Room / Space Rentals | Meeting rooms, party rooms, event space | Planned | Incremental |
| Homeschool Physical Education | Specialized daytime programming | Planned — fills pre-prime hours | Core base |
| Camping & RV Summer Tournaments | Unique seasonal event programming | Planned | Peak revenue |
Built-In Demand Floor
Capital-SP Academy currently rents 1,100+ field hours annually at a heavily subsidized cost of $50,000+ from other facilities. This demand transfers directly to the new facility on day one, providing a revenue floor before any external bookings. With two fields, the academy’s demand occupies a fraction of total capacity, leaving the majority available for external revenue.
Revenue Constraint Explanation
Current revenue is artificially limited due to insufficient field capacity, inability to run simultaneous programs, and lost bookings from unmet demand. The two-field model directly unlocks increased scheduling density, higher utilization rates, and immediate revenue growth from parallel programming.

11. Q&A Section
About the Organization
Q: What is the legal structure of Capital-SP?
A: Capital-SP operates through two entities: Capital-SP Football Association, a society/not-for-profit that will own the land and major improvements, and Capital-SP Academy Incorporated, a for-profit operating company that manages programming and facility operations. This dual structure maximizes both community impact and investor returns.
Q: How are academy decisions separated from facility decisions?
A: Separate boards with a shared liaison member ensure clear governance boundaries while maintaining strategic alignment.
Q: How many board members govern the facility society?
A: Five board members with expertise spanning finance, construction, legal, and administration.
About the Facility
Q: Why “tentage to start” instead of a permanent building?
A: Two double truss shelters offer rapid parallel deployment (meeting our November 2026 deadline), significantly lower cost per square foot, clear-span interiors ideal for soccer, and the flexibility to expand or upgrade as revenue proves the model. Both structures can be erected simultaneously, enabling both fields to open at the same time. This is a strategic choice, not a compromise.
Q: Will the academy pay rent to the facility?
A: No. The academy serves as the anchor tenant and operational engine. Its programming drives utilization and revenue from external clients. The academy’s value is in demand generation, not rent payments.
Q: Does the academy own shares in the facility company?
A: No. The entities are structurally separate, with the society (not-for-profit) owning the land and improvements.
About the Investment
Q: What is the total funding target?
A: $5,000,000 for Phase 1, covering construction of two double truss shelters, two turf systems, land/site, operations setup, and contingency.
Q: What return can investors expect?
A: ~9% annual return (base case) through a loan-with-interest structure over a 5–7 year term. Upside scenario of 12–15%+ is achievable through increased utilization, sponsorship, and tournament expansion. Capital-SP is open to negotiation on the specific instrument and terms.
Q: What is the exit strategy?
A: Three options: (1) Buyout by the operating entity; (2) Continued revenue participation; (3) Reinvestment into expansion phases. The self-sustaining revenue model provides consistent returns without requiring a forced liquidity event.
Q: What if revenues are lower than projected?
A: The first lever is raising off-peak utilization through expanded hours, adjusted pricing, and aggressive marketing across all customer segments — two fields enable flexible parallel scheduling. The second lever is increasing sponsor and grant acquisition focus.
Q: What portion of funding comes from grants or loans?
A: Phase 1 is 100% investor capital. Grants and loans will be pursued for Phase 2 and subsequent expansions once the facility is operational and generating revenue.
About the Market
Q: Are there competing indoor turf facilities in Parkland County?
A: No. There is currently no indoor turf facility in Parkland County. The nearest options (Tri-Leisure Center, West Soccer Center, TTC1 & TTC2) are distant, overbooked, and expensive.
Q: Is field time currently hard to get?
A: Yes. Peak-season field time is extremely difficult to secure, and Capital-SP’s own tournaments are limited to approximately 120 participants each due to space and booking constraints.
Q: What is the biggest risk?
A: The primary risk is timing — the possibility that delays could allow a competitor to open a similar facility first. Capital-SP mitigates this by keeping project details confidential, maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders, and prioritizing speed to market.
