Tekkers Soccer

What Tekkers Soccer does

Tekkers Soccer is a private, founder-operated youth soccer training and player-development business based in Waukee, Iowa, serving the Des Moines metropolitan area and Central Iowa. The company delivers individualized and small-group technical training, position-specific coaching, and seasonal camps for players ranging from ages 4 (Tekkers Tots) through high school and college-aspirational athletes. Its core product surface spans private and group lessons, summer day camps, specialized mini-camps (1v1 Lab, Striking & Finishing, Goalkeeper), and a year-round athletic performance program delivered in partnership with D1 Training. Tekkers also operates Tekkers Futsal Club (TFC), a USYF-affiliated sub-brand with three age-tiered programs — TFC Academy (U7-U8), TFC Select (U9-U14), and TFC HS (U15+) — providing winter futsal training, league play, and tournament participation.

The business does not operate any proprietary technology platform; registration, scheduling, and payments are routed through third-party SaaS providers ezfacility and playmetrics. Marketing is content-led via a company blog, email newsletter, website, and a Tekkers Media YouTube channel. Tekkers Media, a separately branded sub-line, produces highlight reels and offers college recruiting guidance for high-school players pursuing NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA programs. The Hoover-Vestavia Soccer Club (MLS Next) is the only disclosed B2B-style customer relationship, using Tekkers Media for player highlight content.

Revenue is generated across four streams: professional services for private and small-group training (booked per session or via packages starting at $100 for a 5-pack), one-time payments for camps and clinics ($130-$630 depending on duration and format), recurring seasonal subscriptions for TFC futsal programs ($295-$490 per winter season), and professional services for Tekkers Media highlight videos and recruiting support. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via self-serve online booking, supplemented by community- and event-driven acquisition through seasonal camps and TFC tryouts. Programs are delivered at four partner facilities across Waukee, Ames, Norwalk, and Clive, with all locations managed through facility partnerships rather than owned real estate.

Broad incumbents
