What Berch Sports does

Berch Sports is a Miami-based youth sports organization that delivers seasonal leagues, summer camps, and skills clinics for children ages 4 to 14 across six sports — soccer, basketball, flag football, volleyball, cheerleading, and baseball. Founded in November 2015 as Berch Football by brothers Abraham Berch (CEO) and Nicholas Berch (President) and rebranded to Berch Sports in 2018, the company serves more than 1,000 children per year and partners with 10-plus K-12 schools across Miami-Dade County, including a heavy concentration in the Somerset Academy charter network. The company is structured as a private Florida corporation (Berch Sports Inc.) with a small core team of approximately 10 employees plus part-time coaches, and reports no institutional funding, acquisitions, or external investors.

The product portfolio is anchored by six seasonal league products (each running on a Fall/Winter/Spring cadence with full uniforms, weekly practices, six-plus regular season games, and playoffs), three Summer Camp locations (Somerset Academy Bay, Our Lady of the Rosary, and Christopher Columbus High School) operating June through July, an evening Summer Skills Clinic at $150/session, and a year-round Birthday Parties & Private Events offering. Berch FC operates as a sub-brand for open-enrollment recreational soccer outside the school channel. There is no proprietary technology platform; registration and team communication run on the third-party PlayMetrics club management system, and marketing is driven primarily through an active Instagram presence.

The business model is per-player, per-season, and per-session fee-for-service. School partnerships are delivered on campus at zero cost to the school, with revenue collected directly from families via online registration. Summer camp pricing runs $200–$250/week with optional before/after care, plus a $30 one-time registration fee. The go-to-market motion combines a captive school-distribution channel (the core growth driver) with direct-to-consumer enrollment for open programs and summer camps. The entire operation is geographically concentrated in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Others

• PlayMetrics: PlayMetrics is the club management and registration platform that Berch Sports uses for all program sign-ups and team communication. Listed as an OTHERS rather than peer because it is the technology enabler/integrator, not a competing operator.
• After-School All-Stars: After-School All-Stars provides after-school enrichment including sports programming at partner schools for K-12 students nationally. Comparable on school-channel youth programming and target age group, but as a nonprofit enrichment provider rather than a competing sports league operator.

Direct peers

Broad incumbents
