What Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club Inc does

Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club Inc. is a community-based, not-for-profit soccer organization incorporated in Ontario, Canada, operating continuously since 1972 from its headquarters at 1237 Newmarket Street, Ottawa. The club delivers recreational and competitive soccer programs for participants aged 4 through adult, including youth grassroots (U4-U13), youth competitive (U8-U18), adult recreational and competitive leagues, Old-Timers (35+) and Masters (50+/60+) age-tiered leagues, plus seasonal March Break and Summer camps. Specialized extensions include the Goalkeeper Academy (launched 2024), the Coach in Training (CIT) youth leadership pathway, and the signature Icebreaker Tournament. Approximately 2,000-2,400 players participate annually, supported by 400+ volunteer coaches and managers.

The club's core technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS and not on proprietary software. Registration, member profiles, waivers, and payment processing run on the PowerUp Sports platform; team communication is handled via TeamSnap; facility rental bookings are processed through CatchCorner; and electronic forms use Adobe Sign. The club manages four key facilities, most notably two state-of-the-art artificial turf fields at Franco-Cité Catholic High School and Hillcrest High School — the only artificial turfs in Ottawa's inner core — alongside a futsal court, weight room, and yoga/dance studio at Franco-Cité. In 2025 the club hired a UEFA A-licensed Technical Director, signaling an investment in coaching quality and competitive-program rigor.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of seasonal program registration fees (Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter), a $35 annual youth membership fee, $340-345 weekly camp fees, facility rentals, and club/event/equipment sponsorships. The annual operating budget is approximately $1.2 million CAD, supported by a lean paid staff of 2 full-time and 8 part-time employees. Financial inclusion partnerships with Their Opportunity, Canadian Tire Jumpstart, and Kidsport, paired with an in-house KIDSTARTER fund, are positioned to widen access for lower-income youth participants. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-consumer via the PowerUp Sports self-serve platform and in-person registration, with no reseller or retail channels.
