Parkland Sports

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.

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:

1. No community relationships — Years of trust-building cannot be purchased or fast-tracked
2. No anchor tenant — The academy’s 1,100+ hours of annual demand provides a revenue floor
3. No programming expertise — Tournament organization, coaching networks, and curriculum development require specialized knowledge
4. No school/club partnerships — These relationships are personal and institutional, built over years
5. No operational team — Recruiting qualified soccer operations leadership in Parkland County would be extremely difficult
6. No brand recognition — Capital-SP is a known and trusted name in the community

4. The Facility Plan

Design Philosophy

The phased approach — starting with two double truss shelter structures and modular support buildings — is a deliberate strategic choice. It allows Capital-SP to:

1. Open quickly — Meet the November 2026 deadline and capture first-mover advantage
2. Minimize upfront capital risk — Prove the revenue model before committing to permanent construction
3. Scale with demand — Add capacity as utilization data confirms market appetite
4. Preserve flexibility — Adapt the facility layout based on actual usage patterns
5. Maximize revenue from day one — Two fields operating in parallel eliminates idle time and doubles revenue capacity

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

Specifications for Capital-SP’s Facility

Pricing Context

• Basic fabric structures: $2.65–$10/sq ft (structure only)
• Mid-range (ClearSpan/Britespan class): $10–$25/sq ft
• Premium fully installed: $20–$30/sq ft
• Fully finished indoor sports facility (including turf, HVAC, etc.): $100–$300+/sq ft
• For reference: An air-supported seasonal dome for 1/3 field was estimated at ~$1,067,000 in a 2022 municipal feasibility study

Key Manufacturers Under Consideration

• ClearSpan Structures — Leading manufacturer; Econoline Truss Buildings in 50’ and 70’ widths, up to 100’+ long; 50-year frame warranty
• Britespan Building Systems — Canadian manufacturer; column-free clear-span designs; sports and recreation specialty
• Norseman Structures — Canadian manufacturer; steel-framed, fabric-covered buildings

5.2 ATCO Trailers / Modular Buildings — Rapid-Deploy Support Facilities

For administrative offices, change rooms, meeting spaces, and ancillary facilities, Capital-SP will deploy modular buildings — leveraging the proven ATCO/modular building approach that Alberta’s industrial sector has relied on for over 75 years.

Planned Modular Deployments

Why Modular for Support Spaces

• Turnkey solutions — Fully furnished and equipped, ready for immediate use
• Rapid deployment — Manufactured off-site and delivered ready to occupy
• Mobility — Can be relocated or reconfigured as the facility evolves
• Cost-effective — Dramatically lower upfront costs compared to permanent construction
• Lease flexibility — Option to lease initially and purchase or upgrade later
• Alberta expertise — ATCO is headquartered in Calgary; deep local supply chain

Market Context

ATCO Structures, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, has over 75 years in the modular building industry and operates across four continents. The North American modular construction market was valued at USD $10.53 billion in 2022 with expected growth of 7.8% CAGR through 2030. This is a mature, reliable supply chain.

5.3 Pole Barn Construction — The Future Phase Permanent Option

As Capital-SP’s facility proves its revenue model and expands, pole barn (post-frame) construction offers a cost-effective path to permanent structures for Phase 2 and beyond.

Why Pole Barns for Future Phases

• 40–60% less expensive than conventional construction
• Fast construction — Days to weeks vs. months for traditional buildings
• Large clear-span interiors — Up to 100’+ widths with engineered trusses, no interior load-bearing walls
• Durable — 40–60+ year typical lifespan
• Expandable — Relatively easy to extend or modify
• Engineered for local codes — Designed to meet Alberta wind and snow load requirements

Pricing Context for Future Planning

Potential Future Phase Applications

• Permanent replacement or supplement to the truss shelter main facility
• Additional field enclosures
• Permanent change room and clubhouse facilities
• Equipment storage and maintenance buildings
• Expanded fitness and performance center

5.4 The Strategic Combination — Evidence of Capital-SP’s Expertise

This three-technology approach is not accidental. It reflects Capital-SP’s strategic thinking and cost optimization expertise:

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:

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)

Two-Field Total: 256 hours/week available

Revenue Projections at 100% Utilization (Two Fields)

*Monthly based on 4.33 weeks per month (52 weeks ÷ 12 months)

Utilization Scenarios

Based on Capital-SP’s market knowledge and booking projections:

Secondary Revenue Streams

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.
