Hub Soccer of Denville

What Hub Soccer of Denville does

Hub Soccer of Denville, Inc. is a nonprofit community youth soccer organization founded in 1973 by Denville residents Tom Eberhardt and Al Holenko. It serves youth players aged 3.5 through high school in Denville and surrounding Morris County, NJ, offering a full ladder of programs: Munchkin Soccer (ages 3.5-5, $100), Recreation Soccer (PreK-4th grade, $145), RVSL Recreation Soccer (grades 5-high school, $225), Challenger Division for special-needs players age 4+, Travel Soccer competing in MCYSA/EDP/ECNL pathways, 4v4 Festivals, Winter Indoor sessions at Morris Knolls High School, and a Presidents Day Camp hosted at the New York Red Bulls Whippany training facility. The club runs spring and fall seasons, with travel tryouts held annually, and incorporates Red Bulls professional trainers into weekly practices.

The business model is registration-fee-driven, supplemented by photo sales, vintage merchandise, and local corporate sponsorships (Schumacher Chevrolet Denville, Law Leonard, Marigold Academy). Pricing is published transparently with a $45-per-player sibling discount and financial-hardship scholarships handled by the President (Don Casse). The organization operates lean: it is governed by a volunteer board, relies on parent volunteer coaches, and self-describes at 11-50 employees, consistent with a small paid-staff-plus-volunteer structure. There is no equity funding, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue.

Operationally, Hub Soccer is a community-ecosystem play rather than a technology business. Registration and team administration run on TeamSnap; communications are handled via a Mailchimp newsletter, a Facebook page, and a WordPress-based TeamSnap Sites website; field closures are posted on a municipal cancellations portal. Affiliations with NJYSA, MCYSA, EDP, ECNL, Matchfit, and the New York Red Bulls provide competitive-league structure and trainer access, anchoring a distribution footprint that punches well above the organization's small staffed scale.
