BALTIMORE BAYS SOCCER CLUB INC

What BALTIMORE BAYS SOCCER CLUB INC does

Baltimore Bays Soccer Club Inc is a Maryland-based, non-profit youth soccer organization founded in 2002 through a joint venture between the Soccer Club of Baltimore and the Baltimore Football Club. The club serves competitive and developmental youth players (ages 4 through high school) in the Baltimore metropolitan area, fielding girls' and boys' travel teams across multiple age groups (e.g., 2012 Crush Premier, 2013 Spirit, 2016 Mayhem, 2017 Nightmare) that compete in EDP, CMSA, and MSYSA-sanctioned leagues and tournaments.

The core product surface includes age-grouped competitive team play, a 1st Touch Academy for ages 4-8, summer camps ($240 general, $195 Bays players), a High School Prep Camp ($150), goalkeeper training, and speed and agility training. Underlying technology is limited to a third-party OTTO Sport platform powering registration, payment processing, and scheduling, supplemented by EmailMeForm, SignUp.com, and TeamLinkt for forms and league operations. The club does not operate any proprietary technology product.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring seasonal club fees, one-time camp and academy tuition, biennial uniform sales through partner Soccer Post, and supplemental sponsorship income from Adidas, Gatorade, and Saatva. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the club website, with uniforms and merchandise distributed through team coaches and managers or partner retailers. Marketing relies on the club website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and competitive results as proof points for player recruitment. The organization is led by a volunteer board including Club President Kevin Healey, Director of Player Development Pat Healey (who simultaneously serves as head coach of professional Harrisburg Heat), and Vice President Paul Brookshire.
