Industry Context
Nordic is the strongest elite youth soccer club in Vermont at $1.16M in annual revenue and steady year-over-year growth. The club operates without ECNL, MLS Next, or Girls Academy membership — its competitive pathway tops out at NPL-eligible premier level, which is appropriate for Vermont’s relatively small elite player pool. Vermont’s geography (rural, low population density) structurally limits club scale compared to New England metro markets. Nordic’s ODP pipeline (9 Region 1 selections) reflects competitive quality above what raw revenue would suggest.
