Coconuts Franchise Sysytem: Owner’s Portal
Welcome to the heart of the Bohol Coconuts Baseball & Softball Club. As an elit3 baseball academy owner, you are adopting a resilient, multi-faceted business designed for impact and profitability.
Our Core Philosophy: The Membership Model
In the Philippines, community is built through connection. Our membership-based model taps directly into the cultural fabric of joining clubs and organizations. We don’t just sell services; we offer a sense of belonging.
Community as Foundation: By building a base of 300-1,000 members, your club becomes a central social and athletic pillar in your territory. This critical mass creates a self-sustaining community and attracts significant business sponsorships and partnerships.
The Dual Mission: Our success is measured on two fronts – Developing elite baseball and softball prospects for collegiate and national teams, and uplifting our community through sports, nutrition, and social engagement. One mission fuels the other.
Club Services: More Than Sports
A professional baseball academy is a comprehensive destination. We integrate essential services that address community needs and create multiple touchpoints for engagement and revenue.
1. Sports Excellence Programs:
★ Year-round, age-specific leagues (ages 4-18) and adult recreational leagues.
★ Professional coaching framework developed by our Head Coach with international experience.
★ Structured skill development, regular games, and tournament pathways.
2. Community Food Services:
Soup Kitchen: Provides affordable, nutritious meals to members at a 20-33% discount.
Food Store: Sells essential groceries at 15-20% below market rates.
Impact: Addresses food security, drives daily foot traffic, and ensures sports participation is accessible to all families.
3. Social & Events Hub:
★ Regular community events, academic contests, and social activities.
★ Fosters intergenerational connections and makes the club the “third place” for members beyond home and work.
The Volunteer Network: Our Engine
A unique operational advantage that reduces costs and enriches the club culture.
Local Volunteer Corps: Engages community members in operations, building local investment and minimizing payroll expenses.
Volunteer Abroad Program: Attracts global sports enthusiasts and professionals (e.g., US college softball players, retired coaches) who pay to participate. They provide expert coaching, cultural exchange, and generate direct program revenue.
Revenue Streams: Diversified & Sustainable
The Coconuts model is built on multiple pillars for financial stability.
Membership Dues: Affordable, recurring revenue from youth, adult, and family memberships.
Food Services: Daily revenue from the soup kitchen and food store with high community demand.
Volunteer Abroad Program: A significant revenue driver from program fees paid by international participants.
Sponsorships & Partnerships: Attracted by our engaged member base and positive community footprint.
Additional Streams: Club apparel, tournaments, international fan club, essay contest fundraiser, and special events.
Projected Financial Outlook
The model is designed for growth and sustainability. Based on our flagship operations:
Key Expense Management: Major costs are managed through our volunteer network, strategic local sourcing, and efficient facility design. Initial investments focus on quality infrastructure and equipment.
Path to Profitability: The diversified revenue model targets break-even within 8 months of operation, with a clear trajectory toward strong annual profit margins.
Positive Cash Flow: Recurring memberships and daily food service operations provide consistent cash flow, supported by larger seasonal revenue from volunteer programs and events.
Why This Model Works
The Bohol Coconuts structure is a proven blueprint. It works because it is integrated and responsive. It meets palpable community needs (sports, food, social connection) while building a financially robust operation. The membership model ensures loyalty and steady revenue; the volunteer network controls costs and adds expertise; the dual mission attracts support and goodwill.
You are not just opening a sports club. You are launching a community institution with the tools to nurture future champions and create lasting local impact. This is the foundation we provide. Your local leadership and passion will make it flourish.
Welcome to the team. Let’s build something great together.
