Never said they were "passionate" about soccer. That is not a pre-requisite for investing and owning a business, especially for capital investment types. However, what they are passionate about is getting more members and expanding the services to those members so that they get a good ROI.  This will be inclusive of expensive training for youth players, and [i]possibly[/i] IMG style academy / sports agent services. Their press release already talked about expanding in Fairfax and PW counties.

The sports agent approach (if they pursue this) is a paid representative that helps your kid navigate and get 1) a college scholarship; and/or 2) a pro contract (only lucrative for boys, and mostly with foreign clubs more than MLS, but MLS too).  By focusing in on DA and quality ECNL programs they would narrow their pool of players to those most likely to want, pay for, and deserve these type of agent services. In the meantime, they would have expanded their customer base (players and parents and referred friends) to whom they will sell their "sport entertainment and wellness" services too. They are going to expand, of that there is no doubt. Whether they buy some other assets in the elite "NOVA" soccer space or not, maybe, maybe not. [/quote]

Sports agents? They bought a girls soccer club.[/quote]
