CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM 1
ITEM: An Ordinance to Amend Section 35-64.1 of the City Code Pertaining to Income
Exclusions for the Tax Relief Program
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2018
• Background: City Council provides tax relief for elderly and disabled residents
based upon certain income and net worth limitations. The Commissioner of the
Revenue is charged with evaluation of need using predetermined criteria set by City
Council. The Council sets the applicable thresholds for income and net assets, and it
may prescribe restrictions or limitations upon the calculation of either. The Council has
also allowed specific income deductions. Income of a relative living in the house (other
than spouse) receives a $10,000 exclusion; a $10,000 income deduction is also
provided for a permanently and totally disabled homeowner; income of care providers is
exempt for use in financial calculations of the homeowner; and lastly, income derived
from a reverse mortgage is excluded from local income calculations.
• Considerations: The Commissioner of the Revenue is proposing that two
additional income exemptions be considered for inclusion in the determination of
income. They are:
• disability payments from a governmental entity or agency;
• payments made to foster care providers for or regarding the care of children in
foster care.
Based on a review by the Commissioner, these income exclusions will result in an
estimated increase in tax relief of $6,000. The effective date of the exclusions will be for
tax years beginning on July 1, 2019, so there is no impact in the current fiscal year.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process.
• Recommendations: Approval of the attached ordinance.
• Attachments: Ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Granting a Non-exclusive Long-term Master License Agreement
(up to 40 Years) to Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless for the Purpose of
Attaching Wireless Communications Equipment to City-owned Structures
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2018
• Background: On July 1, 2017, new laws went into effect in Virginia regarding
access to public rights-of-way for the installation and maintenance of small cell
facilities and wireless support structures (the "Statute"). Under the Statute, on
September 5, 2017, City Council granted a non-exclusive franchise
(ORD3517G), to wireless communications provider Cellco Partnership d/b/a
Verizon Wireless ("Cellco"), for the purpose of installing small cell antennas and
related equipment (the "Equipment") on existing and new structures in the right-
of-way. This grant did not include attachment to City-owned structures. The
Statute provides that localities may allow wireless providers and wireless
infrastructure providers (collectively, "Providers") to attach small cell facilities on
government-owned structures by negotiating mutually agreeable contract terms
and conditions. Cellco requested to attach to City-owned structures, and over the
past year Cellco representatives have met with the City Manager and staff on
several occasions to negotiate this Master License Agreement and the
procedures that will be enforced in order for Cellco to attach its Equipment to
City-owned structures.
• Considerations: Previously, the City has not allowed Providers to attach their
equipment to any City-owned utility poles or other City-owned structures. Under
the Statute, the City must allow Providers to install small cell facilities on existing
structures (other than City-owned) as long as the Provider has permission from
the owner of the structure and provides notice of the agreement and co-location
to the City. In addition, the City must also allow Providers to install new
structures in the right-of-way when there is no feasible existing structure in a
particular location that the Provider needs to maintain its network integrity. As a
result, there are existing City-owned structures that Providers may be able to use
for Equipment attachment in lieu of placing new poles in the right-of-way. This
Master License Agreement will provide Cellco with another option to densify its
network.
• Public Information: Because the proposed agreement is for a term in excess of
five years, pursuant to Virginia Code §15.2-2101, the solicitation for bids must be
advertised once per week for two successive weeks. The advertisement for bids
was published on November 18 and 25, 2018, and the public hearing was
advertised on November 25.
• Recommendations: Approval

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM
ITEM: An Ordinance Granting a Non-exclusive Long-term Master License Agreement
(up to 40 Years) to New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC d/b/a AT&T Wireless for
the Purpose of Attaching Wireless Communications Equipment to City-owned
Structures
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2018
• Background: On July 1, 2017, new laws went into effect in Virginia regarding
access to public rights-of-way for the installation and maintenance of small cell
facilities and wireless support structures (the "Statute"). Under the Statute, on
August 15, 2017, City Council granted a non-exclusive franchise (ORD3515J), to
wireless communications provider New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC d/b/a AT&T
Wireless ("New Cingular"), for the purpose of installing small cell antennas and
related equipment (the "Equipment") on existing and new structures in the right-
of-way. This grant did not include attachment to City-owned structures. The
Statute provides that localities may allow wireless providers and wireless
infrastructure providers (collectively, "Providers") to attach small cell facilities on
government-owned structures by negotiating mutually agreeable contract terms
and conditions. New Cingular requested to attach to City-owned structures, and
over the past year City staff has been working with Providers to negotiate a
standard Master License Agreement and the procedures that will be enforced in
order for Providers to attach their Equipment to City-owned structures.
• Considerations: Previously, the City has not allowed Providers to attach their
equipment to any City-owned utility poles or other City-owned structures. Under
the Statute, the City must allow Providers to install small cell facilities on existing
structures (other than City-owned) as long as the Provider has permission from
the owner of the structure and provides notice of the agreement and co-location
to the City. In addition, the City must also allow Providers to install new
structures in the right-of-way when there is no feasible existing structure in a
particular location that the Provider needs to maintain its network integrity. As a
result, there are existing City-owned structures that Providers may be able to use
for Equipment attachment in lieu of placing new poles in the right-of-way. This
Master License Agreement will provide New Cingular with another option to
densify its network.
• Public Information: Because the proposed agreement is for a term in excess of
five years, pursuant to Virginia Code §15.2-2101 , the solicitation for bids must be
advertised once per week for two successive weeks. The advertisement for bids
was published on November 18 and 25, 2018, and the public hearing was
advertised on November 25.
• Recommendations: Approval

AGENDA ITEM
ITEMS: Ordinances to Designate The Butterfly Society of Virginia, Inc.; Christian New
and Information Institute; Community Outreach Ministries, Inc.; Merakey Allos;
Merakey USA; Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation; and The Tidewater
Winds as Being Exempt from Local Property Taxation
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2018
• Background: Article X, Section 6 (a)(6) of the Virginia Constitution provides that
property used by its owner for religious, charitable, patriotic, historical, benevolent,
cultural, or public park and playground purposes may be exempted from taxation by
classification or designation by an ordinance adopted by the local governing body.
Section 58.1-3651 of the Virginia Code sets forth the process for designating
specific organizations as being exempt from local taxation and a list of factors for the
local governing body to consider is set forth. They are:
1. Whether the organization is exempt from taxation pursuant to § 501 (c) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954;
2. Whether a current annual alcoholic beverage license for serving alcoholic
beverages has been issued by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to
such organization, for use on such property;
3. Whether any director, officer, or employee of the organization is paid
compensation in excess of a reasonable allowance for salaries or other
compensation for personal services which such director, officer, or employee
actually renders;
4. Whether any part of the net earnings of such organization inures to the benefit of
any individual, and whether any significant portion of the service provided by such
organization is generated by funds received from donations, contributions, or local,
state or federal grants;
5. Whether the organization provides services for the common good of the public;
6. Whether a substantial part of the activities of the organization involves carrying on
propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation and whether the
organization participates in, or intervenes in, any political campaign on behalf of
any candidate for public office;
7. The revenue impact to the locality and its taxpayers of exempting the property; and
8. Any other criteria, facts and circumstances that the governing body deems
pertinent to the adoption of such ordinance.
The City Council adopted a revised policy regarding applications for Tax Exemption by
Designation on May 6, 2008.
• Considerations: The Commissioner of the Revenue has received seven
applications for tax exemption by designation. The Commissioner has reviewed the
applications and finds each meets the City Council policy for Tax Exemption by
Designation.
• Alternative: City Council is not required to approve exemption requests.
• Public Information: A public hearing for this item will be held on December 4,
2018, during the Council Formal Session. An advertisement for the public hearing
appeared in the Beacon more than five days prior to that hearing as required by statute.
Also, this item will be advertised in the normal Council Agenda Process.

the Revenue has offered revisions to Council's policy adopted on February 2, 2004 in an effort
to streamline the exemption review process for local nonprofit organizations and provide
necessary analysis and oversight of the application process.
Legislative Background: The Virginia Constitution provides that, after January 1, 2003, local
governments may, by designation, exempt the real and personal property of nonprofit
organizations from local property taxes if used exclusively for religious, charitable, patriotic,
historical, benevolent,cultural,or public park and playground purposes. However, as provided
in Virginia Code § 58.1-3651, the local governing body must adopt an ordinance to exempt the
Property.
2.0 Policy
The City Council is not required to designate any organization properly applying for exemption
from taxation, and every designation of an organization is conditioned upon compliance with the
terms of this policy and any ordinance granting the exemption. If an organization does not
comply with these requirements, the City Council may revoke the tax exemption after providing
notice and a hearing to the organization. Any revocation of an exemption shall be effective at the
beginning of the tax year during which the revocation occurs.
The applicant or a representative of the applicant shall provide the Commissioner of the Revenue
detailed information necessary to determine the benefits to the public that will result from
granting tax exemption. In considering applications, the Commissioner of the Revenue shall
employ the following guidelines:
Tide: City Council Policy Regarding Applications for Tax Exemption by
Designation
Date of Adoption: February 3, 2004 Dates of Revisions: May 6, 2008 Page 2 .of 4
1. The organization must be exempt from federal income tax pursuant to Internal Revenue

organization applying for exemption.
3. The organization must be in compliance with all City ordinances and regulations (including
but not limited to building, property maintenance, and zoning codes) and all applicable tax
obligations.
4. The organization must provide a service to the residents of the City that results in a benefit to
the public (tangible or intangible).
The following requirements apply to each entity exempted from local property taxes by the City
Council:
1. Upon obtaining exemption, the organization must annually submit (by July 1 of each year)
its Internal Revenue Service Form 990 or 990 EZ to the Commissioner of the Revenue. If
not required to file Form 990 or 990 EZ, then the organization must annually certify on
form(s) prescribed by the Commissioner of the Revenue its continuing tax exempt status.
Loss of 501(c)status must immediately be reported to the Commissioner of the Revenue and
City Attorney, and is grounds for revocation of tax exempt status.
2. Pursuant to Virginia Code§ 58.1-3605, each entity exempted from local property taxes shall,
every three years, file an exemption application with the Commissioner of the Revenue as a
requirement for retention of the exempt status of the property. The application form shall be
approved as to form by the City Attorney.
3. Each entity exempted from local property taxes must cooperate fully with the Commissioner
of the Revenue with respect to audit of its financial records,compliance with the terms of this
policy, and compliance with any ordinance granting tax exemption.
3.0 Procedure to Accomplish Policy

of the.Revenue as to whether the organization is or may be tax-exempt by classification,
pursuant to Article 2 (§58.1-3606 et seq.) or°Artide 3 (§58.1-3609 et seq.) of Title 58.1 of the
Virginia Code. If the organization is not exempt, but meets the criteria of organizations that

Attorney.
2. Applications for exemption shall be considered quarterly. Applications for exemption must

not submit applications he deems incomplete to City Council for a determination.
3. The Commissioner of the Revenue shall forward copies of the applications along with his
written findings to the City Attorney. The City Attorney shall prepare the necessary

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM I
ITEM: An Ordinance Declaring Approximately 1,682.48 Sq. Ft. of City Property
Located Adjacent to 601 Goldsboro Avenue to be in Excess of the City's Needs
and Authorizing the City Manager to Sell the Property to The Allen Revocable
Living Trust
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2018
• Background: Gary W. Allen and Louise K. Allen, Trustees of the Allen
Revocable Living Trust (the "Allen Trust"), own property located at 601
Goldsboro Avenue, in Virginia Beach (GPIN: 2427-01-8759). The Allen Trust's
property is adjacent to a waterway known as Lake Rudee, owned by the City of
Virginia Beach (the "City"). The Allen Trust desires to acquire approximately
1,682.48 sq. ft. of land along Lake Rudee (the "Excess Area") and incorporate
said Excess Area into its existing property.
City staff has reviewed the request and supports declaring the subject area in
excess of the City's needs and conveying the same to the Allen Trust, with
certain conditions, including the City's retention of (i) riparian rights, (ii)
dredging rights channel-ward of the bulkhead, and (iii) a drainage and
construction easement over the entire Excess Area. The Allen Trust would
proceed with an encroachment application for any improvements located, or to
be located, within the City's remaining property. The City and the Allen Trust
have negotiated a sales price of$1,683.00 for the Excess Area.
• Considerations: The Excess Area consists of land along the bank of Lake
Rudee and has minimal value and use. Conveyance of the Excess Area to the
Allen Trust to be incorporated into its existing property would allow the Allen
Trust to access and maintain the existing riprap, pier and dock. The terms and
conditions of conveyance of the Excess Area are set forth in the Summary of
Terms attached to the Ordinance.
• Public Information: Advertisement for a public hearing, as required Section
15.2-1800, Code of Virginia, and advertisement of City Council Agenda.
• Alternatives: Approve the request subject to the terms of the Summary of
Terms, deny the request, or add conditions as desired by Council.
• Recommendations: Approval.
• Attachments: Ordinance, Survey (Exhibit A), Summary of Terms (Exhibit B),

CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH
AGENDA ITEM _J
ITEM: A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Comprehensive
Agreement for the Operation of the Virginia Beach Sports Center
MEETING DATE: December 4, 2018
• Background: The City of Virginia Beach received a consultant's study(the "Victus
Study") in late 2016, which strongly indicated the capacity in the local market to support
the development of a new indoor sports center (the "Sports Center") near the City's
Convention Center. As discussed in the Victus Study, a new indoor sports center would
have multiple favorable outcomes including additional hotel room nights, especially in the
off-season, and reducing the sports tourism utilization of the Convention Center. In July,
the City Council authorized a comprehensive agreement for the design and construction
of the Sports Center. In regard to operations of the Sports Center, the Council authorized
an interim agreement with Eastern Sports Management, LLC ("ESM") in March 2018, to
provide detailed operations plans in furtherance of the negotiation of a long-term
operation agreement for the Sports Center.
The negotiation of the comprehensive agreement for operations (the "Comprehensive
Agreement") is complete. The details of the Comprehensive Agreement, including a
summary of material terms, were provided to the Council on November 2, 2018, and
posted on the City's website to allow the public to review and offer comments. Because
the Sports Center is funded using tax-exempt municipal debt, the form of the
Comprehensive Agreement conforms to IRS regulations for "qualified management
agreements," which requires the City maintain the operational risk for the Sports Center.
The Comprehensive Agreement is structured with an initial term of 10 years, with two 5-
year extensions with mutual agreement of the parties. A detailed summary of material
terms of the Comprehensive Agreement and the text of the Comprehensive Agreement
is attached.
• Considerations: The resolution provides four related actions in furtherance of
the Comprehensive Agreement. First, the resolution makes the findings required by the
Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act (the "PPEA"). Second, it
authorizes the City Manager to execute the Comprehensive Agreement. Third, the
resolution transfers funds within the Tourism Investment Program Fund or TIP Fund to
make payments in the current fiscal year, and these payments will allow ESM, through its
subsidiary, ESM VB, LLC, to begin programming and staffing for its responsibilities under
the Comprehensive Agreement. Fourth, the resolution directs the City's Finance Director
to make a reservation in the FY2018-19 fund balance to offset obligations in the
Comprehensive Agreement for certain furniture and equipment for the Sports Center.
The reservation will be reduced as such start-up costs are amortized. The furniture and
equipment will become the property of the Sports Center, and the obligation to utilize the
funds so reserved will only occur if the Comprehensive Agreement is terminated during
the initial 10-year term.
• Public Information: Normal Council agenda process. As required by the City's
PPEA Procedures, the Comprehensive Agreement and a summary of the material terms
of the Comprehensive Agreement was posted on the City's website.
• Recommendations: Approve the resolution.

Agreement; November 2, 2018 Letter from the City Manager; Disclosure Form

Marketing
The design of the Center makes it a local,regional,and arguably,a national facility. 12 basketball courts
and 24 volleyball courts are rare under one roof,and even more rare as a continuous playing surface
uninterrupted by columns.Large regional and national tournaments will come to the Center;however,local
guests must also use the courts during the week if use of the asset is to be maximized. All four of ESM's
facilities and management teams have strong records of serving their local communities while attracting
regional and even national events.
Pricing Strategies
Pricing Philosophy
ESM takes into consideration several factors when determining pricing for any of its offerings at any of its
facilities:
1. What is happening in the community? What are the going rates for comparable field and court
rentals locally? What are tournament entry fees and facility admissions regionally?
2. What are the facility's fixed costs that need to be covered?
3. What are the utilities,management payroll,and debt service or rent?
4. What are the variable costs or cost of goods sold for each of the products?
5. How do our price points match other products in the market that aren't sports?Does an hour in our
facilities match with an hour at the bowling alley or the movie theatres?
6. What is a reasonable price for the value being given? How does that compare for different
products of a comparable nature?
7. What are the goals of the owner of the facility?
8. What level of product is this intended to be?Is it a prestigious national event or a recreation level
local event?
9. What is our mission?
We will be sensitive to the fact that many of the users will be citizen's whose tax dollars have funded the
facility.We have set prices in our Income and Expense assumptions generally at or below market points.
Ultimately,however,the success of the Center both for the direct users and for the City will depend on the
facility being well-run,well-maintained,well-staffed,and well-marketed,all of which require resources.
ESM believes that it is fair that those who use assets,whether publicly or privately funded,pay for their use.
All City residents are responsible in part for the funds used to create the assets,but those City residents
who use them most should bear the greater share of their creation,care,and maintenance. Gas taxes and
tolls are a good comparison. The pricing we set out in this facility will reflect our current understanding of
these sometimes-competing considerations. These considerations may change as market conditions change.
Pricing Structure
The sports and recreation industry has a variety of pricing models,some of which are a reflection of the
nature of the guests' use. For instance,some products are of a defined and limited schedule for both
frequency and time. A league is usually eight games with one game per week for eight weeks. Personal
training is priced for each occurrence. People are used to paying set prices for these products that they
enjoy over the defined duration;then they decide whether to purchase another. They buy what they want
6
when they want it,a la carte. Other products are more suited to ongoing charges for ongoing use.
Someone may have the time and energy to workout five times in a week but the next week they can only
manage once. They want a pass to come whenever they like without restriction. Guests also don't like to
pay for something they don't want and don't need.
For large tournaments and events,pricing is usually structured around whole-facility rates,by-the-day or
by-the-hour. We have structured our forecasts around an hourly rate and assumed a number of hours for
the events to be held at the Center. This is discussed more fully below in the Income section.
Marketing Strategy
The marketing of the facility falls under the responsibility of the Sales and Marketing Director under the
direction of the General Manager. Together they will establish a program of general branding and facility
awareness using traditional outlets. However,all VBSC employees participate in marketing,primarily
through the consistent delivery of quality products and the maintenance of clean,safe facilities,and by
publicizing the products under their management. Individual managers pursue local and regional outlets
for their products depending on the audience at the Center,the Tournament Director will create recreational
level products for local residents,and competitive level products for regional guests. The Tournament
Director will market basketball,volleyball,futsal and field hockey tournaments. The Youth Programming
Director will attend local camp expositions,kids'conventions,and visit pre-schools and daycare centers to
promote our camps and other programs. All hands are on deck for marketing the complex locally and
regionally.
The Center will work closely with the CVB to make sure the facility is filled to the greatest extent possible
by events that draw out-of-town visitors to the City.We will commit to meeting weekly to coordinate
efforts and to not scheduling anything on a weekend until 9 months prior to attract a regional or national
event. Our combined efforts will ensure the greatest chance of maximizing the facility and its economic
impact.
There are many different philosophies for marketing. The thing to remember is that our local target market
is within a 25 minute(15 miles)drive of the facility. There is no mistaking the single most successful and
efficient marketing tool we will employ is running a quality program and providing quality guest
experience. Below are the supplemental philosophies that are used to bring people to our programs.
Grass Roots Marketing
The foundation for the grass roots marketing plan is getting in front of the main players in our target market.
This includes but is not limited to:
• High&middle school coaches of every sport
• Athletic directors
• Club chairmen
• Club directors of coaching
• Local people/organizations that run leagues in the community
• Tournament directors
• Well known athletes in proximity
• Influential parents
• Businesses that employee large amounts of people in the area
• Membership directors of large communities/home owners
7
• Mom groups
• Stroller strides
• Elementary&middle school field trip supervisors
• Little league and rec associations
• Local parks and rec directors
The theme of these conversations is consistent. We will have several questions and talking points prepared.
We should already have a good idea of what we want out of the meeting.We want to know how we can
help them and how to take the meeting to that point. The goal is to find a way to work together to reach the
goals of both parties. There are a few basic principles to keep in mind when having these meetings:
• We are inclusive of other staff on our team. When trying to negotiate,it helps to have program
opportunities from other departments. Bringing in the person that runs programs,sponsorships,
rentals,etc.may provide a different perspective. Many times agreements work out to where we do
not benefit on one program,but have tremendous upside in another program.
• We ask open-ended questions and listen intuitively. If we know the end goal of the parties,it is
much easier to find a way to help them,so we ask: What are you currently doing,where would
you like to see it go,how can we help?
• We make sure there are action steps to be taken from every meeting and a timeline to accomplish
them.
• We know when are we meeting again?
• Sometimes it just will not work. The end goal is not to make a deal. The end goal is to grow our
business. If it is not a good deal,we do not do it. Our risk is in the building. We cannot take
more risks in other people's businesses.
• We are not afraid to compete. Sometimes the deal does not work and we have competing products.
We are professional and polite,and then out work them on the back end.
Internal Marketing
The second most important marketing strategy in our facilities is our internal marketing. Our facilities have
a high volume of foot traffic and typically have deep penetration into the market. It is important to educate
our guests on what other programs we have to offer. Here are some key points for internal marketing:
• Where are our high volume areas? Front doors,bathrooms,F&B,spectator areas,tvs,etc.
• What seasons are best to market what products?
• Identifying what programs bring in new people and how to reach them. This is best illustrated by
birthday parties. Most birthday parties bring in new guests. Hopefully their great party will make
them want to do a party for their child,but even more than that,we need to get our information in
front of them.
• Information Centers—Information Centers are very important. We want to interact with our
guests,but having our information readily available and presented professionally is a vital piece of
the puzzle. These centers need to be organized,clean and stocked.
• Sponsorships-Believe in the power of our sponsorship. We know the value of the sponsorships
we sell,so we use them when there is free inventory. This could also lead to selling more
sponsorships.
• Digital Signage—We have several tvs throughout our facilities. We use them for frequency of
our message and branding.
• Email blasts/Newsletters-Email blasts are one of our most effective methods of marketing.
However,it is important to remember not to overwhelm our client base. Guests are already going
8
to get emails from us communicating things about their programs. We typically send no more
than two marketing emails per month. One of those emails should be a newsletter delivered on the
first Tuesday or Wednesday morning at 10am. The other should be two weeks later and only if
you have enough content to make it worthwhile. Newsletters should be consistent,informative
and easy to navigate through all of the information.
• Social media—We always have someone act as the conduit between our directors and our social
media outlets. We continue to post pictures of activities. People love to look at themselves and
their children. The more content we post the more likes and shares we get,the more marketing
power we have. It is also good to run promotions and contests to drive activity,but this is not
usually our focus.
Products
Tournaments
The City will want the Center to be a first-class athletics event center.Events break down along the same
lines:
• Straight rentals by outside organizations.
• Shared-risk partnerships where revenues and responsibilities are divided.
• In-house events that are created,marketed,and run by the staff.
The preference is always for the last,
because the margins are highest for
the facility. In any event, whether Tournament and Meet
the meet or tournament is the result
of a bid process or a negotiation, the Income Fields,
host facility hopes to generate Courts,
sufficient revenue and produce a �and Pools
high-quality product. Over the past Net 13%
12 months,there have been about 60 Incomeit*
tournaments at ESM facilities 35% Operations
totaling about $2,500,000 in gross Expenses
revenue and hosting 3,000 teams. Marketing
The graph shows what percentage of Partner30 %
gross income goes to the facility, to 22%
the marketing partners, for expenses,
and what's leftover.
It is clear from this that being only the supplier of the facility misses nearly 87%of the tournament gross
income. Tournament organizers have small facility budgets,not because they need to but because that is
what they are used to. ESM will try to push all relationships to a shared risk model used frequently at the
other four ESM facilities where the facility participates in the gross income and is not receiving a fixed fee.
We see our job primarily to fill the courts and the track with leagues,meets and tournaments,but of equal
importance is making sure the returns are as high as possible. Building in-house products accomplishes
this.
Again,for purposes of forecasting revenue,we assume that all the tournament revenue at the Center is on a
net basis. That is,that we run no in-house tournaments and all events are straight rentals. We think this is
9
the most conservative way of forecasting that portion of income. We divide events into 2-day,3-day,and
one week events.
We are aware that Sports Tourism Departments and Municipal Convention Centers across the country
frequently use their facilities as loss-leaders for the sake of the economic impact that visitors bring to
communities. We know that strategy will be utilized by ESM and CVB in order to fill the facility to the
greatest extent possible. We also know from experience that we can create enough higher-earning events
and attract enough higher paying rentals that discounted court rentals will be offset.
Leagues
Leagues will be run year-round on hard court. Any and every sport that plays on a hard-court surface will
be offered at some point.Leagues can have very high gross margins with as little as 20%needed for Cost
of Goods Sold(COGS). More often than not,they can be run completely in-house. Most areas,however,
already have leagues for both youth and adults across most sports. Successful sales strategy for leagues
involves identifying:
• Sports that have no viable local league for their participants.
• Existing Leagues that have poor or inadequate facilities.
• Youth sports that do not have good off-season league opportunities.
• Existing adult leagues whose volunteer leadership would be interested in handing over league
management to a professional third party.
• Existing leagues whose management is poor enough that a better-run league would draw teams
away.
We will offer the following leagues at the Center:
• Basketball
• Volleyball
• Futsal
• Hard Court Field Hockey
• Social Sports such as dodgeball,kickball,and cornhole
In some instances,existing leagues will simply rent the track or courts to run leagues. The preference will
always be to run leagues in-house,but if space must be filled and if the existing league is strong and well
run,then we can sign a long-term rental agreement. These leagues are distinct from clubs and youth
organizations renting the field to run games for leagues in which they participate. In the first instance,all
league games are held at the complex. In the second,the club or organization rents the court for their home
games and they travel elsewhere for their away games.
Youth Programming
Youth Programming broadly encompasses everything that we will do for children that is not a league.
Included are summer camps,day camps,sports camps,before-and-after care,birthday parties,and drop-in
usage,and all the youth development courses that we have offered at all of our facilities.
The facility will be placed on the bus routes of the local public and private schools. With a high
concentration of early morning commuters headed to Norfolk and to area bases, the facility will have a
thriving before- and after-care program. The facility will pursue day care licensing and should achieve it
prior to doors open. During the summer,we will have a strong day camp program.
10
Sports camps and clinics will be run during summer. These camps will also be run during school breaks,
holidays and in-service teacher workdays. Center staff will nm most of these camps,but we will also have
national camp organizations like US Sports Camps,Nike Camps,NXT lacrosse,and others to run vendor
camps throughout the summer.
All four ESM facilities are"Lil'Kickers"franchisees. VBFH alone has about 250 kids each session(of 4
annually)at$169 per participant. Lil'Kickers is more than just a great soccer program for kids. Its
balanced and creative approach to coaching has a positive impact on children that goes far beyond the
soccer field. The high-energy soccer classes are carefully designed to enhance a child's overall growth and
well-being. The result is children with strong physical skills,who are well balanced and confident.The
Center will have its own Lil'Kickers territory and franchise and should do numbers similar to VBFH.
ESM has a similar product for basketball players called"Lil'Monster Ballers". Children aged 4-7 follow a
curriculum designed to improve motor skills,social skills,and listening skills,all while learning basketball.
With 24 recreation level baskets in the main play area,this will be a success. We also run"Lil Flyers"
(cheer),"Lil'Laxers"(lacrosse),"Lil' Sluggers"(baseball),and Lil'Tacklers"(football),and"Lil'
Sweepers"(field hockey).
For each of these programs we assume price points and fill rates comparable to all of our existing facilities.
Marketing the Youth Programs falls to the Youth Program Director. A full-year brochure will be created
and camp conventions and expos will be attended. The Lil'Kicker franchisor supports their franchisees
with their own marketing programs. The Center will also engage in its own campaign.
Rentals
Available space will be rented,but the staff will be committed to filling it with higher margin in-house
programming. With such a large inventory of court space,we anticipate relationships with local volleyball,
basketball,and soccer clubs who will want to rent court time Monday to Thursday from 5:00 PM to 7:30
PM.We assume a potential rental inventory of 2.5 hours/basketball court/day. 2.5 hours x 4 days x 12
courts x 4 weeks per month=480 hours/month.
Concessions
Concessions during athletic events can be very lucrative.The plans submitted here include space for a main
level kitchen and lounge,as well as an upstairs kitchen and dining areas.In our pro-forma,we calculate
concessions revenue by assuming an amount that is a percentage of other income. Other income is a good
reference point for traffic through the facility,which drives concessions. The figure we assume is
comparable to the percentages that we currently see at other ESM facilities,with an added amount due to
the large concentration of tournaments that drive revenue. VBFH routinely has$8,000-$10,000 days when
we run tournaments. We would expect to triple that number for most events. Like the Field Houses in
Fredericksburg and Virginia Beach,this location will have an on-premise beer and wine license.
11
Sponsorship
Sponsorship revenue at the complex could be substantial given the number of assets that could potentially
be"named". For purposes of the pro-forma we assume simply signage revenue similar to what we see at
Fredericksburg and Virginia Beach,most of which comes in the door without any marketing on our part.
Cost of Goods Sold
Any expenses that are directly related to the delivery of a product we list under Cost of Goods Sold.
Examples are the expense of 1099 instructors for fitness,referees for leagues,t-shirts for campers,
uncooked food and packaged drinks for concessions,et cetera. The exception to this is employees who
may be devoted to one area or activity but who we list under wages rather than COGS so that we may keep
close watch on our wages as%of gross income figure. For purposes of this pro-forma we list in the
assumptions page the different COGS rates for the different products,as some are much higher than others.
COGS averages between 20%in year one and 18%in year three. This is at the middle of the range of our
other facilities.Considering the large portion of the income coming from Membership,a low-COGS
income category,we are confident in this assumption. For tournaments,we have assumed a COGS number
of 0%,reflecting the forecast of all tournament income as straight rental or net income as discussed above.
Expenses
As with staffing,ESM runs its facilities as efficiently as possible. Using data from the other four
businesses,we establish the budget metrics that are used to forecast expenses. In most instances,they are a
function of gross income,but sometimes they are a function of square footage,like utilities.
Administrative Expenses
All office expenses such as telephones,internet,website,bank fees,credit card processing fees,dues,legal
fees,et cetera,fall under this heading. ESM has excellent merchant vendor relationships,which it will
bring to the Center. Over the last two years our four facilities have ranged from 3.23%to 6.47%. We
assume 4.84%.
Facility Expenses
Facility expenses include cleaning supplies,maintenance supplies,maintenance contracts,waste disposal,
et cetera. Over the last two years our building and grounds expenses have run 3.56%to 6.3%of gross
income,with Rouse being at the high end of the range. We assume at the middle of this range at 4.52%.
Other Expenses
The utilities are a blended rate using data from our other facilities. The insurance figure is based on a quote
from the insurance broker we use at all other facilities.. The marketing figure is a function of gross income
and is comparable to what we've historically found to be successful. Tax assumptions are drawn from our
12
worksheet calculating revenue to the City and list those taxes that hit the income and expense statement,
such as admissions,property,and gross receipts.
Staffing
As stated before,ESM organizes staff around function and products,not sports or areas of the building. As
a private small business,we run our staff more efficiently than most public recreation centers or non-profit
organizations. For instance,one local facility in Fredericksburg has more than 50%of gross revenue spent
on wages. Our facilities run between 28%and 49%. The outlier in that range is the Rouse Center because
of the staffing required for the aquatics portion of the building is so intensive.Before we took over USTC,
they were at 46%of gross income for wages. We brought them down in one year to 38%and brought it
down to 34%in 2016. For this pro-forma,we have assumed 30%in year one,declining to 24%by year 3.
With such a large portion of the income forecasted as net income(Tournaments),we feel comfortable with
these assumptions. Any increase in wages from the operation of in-house tournaments and events will be
offset by the increase in income.
The organization chart shown divides the responsibility of the P&L along income categories with the
exception of three positions,the general manager,the facilities manager,and all back office human
resources and accounting.

•
Background Checks
We run background checks to include state and federal records and sex offender checks on all perspective
personnel that are 18 years of age and older.
Employee Ramp Up
ESM will begin hiring top management for the Center approximately 18 months prior to opening,
beginning with the General Manager. Top staff will assist in the development of operations procedures and
manuals,negotiate contracts with vendors,and most importantly,market the facility. About one month
prior to doors opening,hourly staff will be hired. They will be trained on processes and systems,especially
the facility management software,the key staff-guest interface.
VBSC Internship Program
All five ESM facilities participate in an internship program that started originally in VBFH. Across the
country there has been dramatic growth in the number of undergraduate and graduate degree programs
focused on the various facets of Sports Business: Marketing,Finance,and Management. These candidates
are typically required to participate in a 400-hour internship to earn their degree.
Early in the history of Fredericksburg Field House,we learned that hiring young people as front line staff
and shift managers because they were exceptional athletes was not necessarily a formula for success. Good
players don't always make good employees. We realized that we needed to employ those who were
interested in long-term careers in the industry and who were serious enough about it to pursue the
appropriate education and training.
The ESM Internship Program takes advantage of the growth in Sports and Recreation Management degree
candidates by taking on 10 to 20 interns for 10-week periods throughout the year across all four current
facilities. These internships are unpaid,though we do provide some housing facilities to out-of-town
students. The interns work 400 hours of which they spend time learning the business and working in the
various sub-specialties that match their degrees. Some assist the finance manager,some the marketing
director and many work in youth services,league,camp,and tournament operations.
We receive about 300-400 applications each year for our program. Of this number,we bring on 30 to 40
annually. We hire about 4-5 to be hourly workers when their internship is done. Of those we promote 1-2
to be entry level managers,and a few of those have moved onto mid-level management. When
opportunities present themselves,we'll hire interns in one location that served their internship in a different
location. For instance,the Leagues Manager in USTC started as an intern in VBFH,was hired as an hourly
assistant to a league director,was promoted to league director,and then was moved from VBFH to USTC
to become a salaried League Manager. Most of the interns graduate and move onto other jobs in sports
business. Consequently,ESM has a broad reach in terms of contacts and relationships regionally for those
working in sports. The chart shows the different colleges and universities that have sent interns into our
program. We've hired 25 of these 138.
ESM has the ability through the Internship Program to attract the best upcoming sports and recreation
business talent to its ranks,thoroughly vet them through 400 hours of training and initial work,and then
pick the best to join the team. Each employee is completely aware of our culture,processes and procedures,
and our emphasis on guest service.
15
Guest Service
Guest Service is one of the pillars of our success. It can be difficult with a facility as big as VBSC and with
as much traffic as we have to make staff feel welcome and at home. We can attack this task together with
some basic strategies. First we need to know what our role is and then we need to know what our
responsibilities are in that role.
Guest Service is Everyone's Responsibility
We are a big building,but a small business. We make people feel like they are walking in our living room,
not a building with thousands of square feet. Every department comes in contact with our guests. Every
person will convey this simple thought: "we are glad they came in/called,we appreciate their business and
we are here to help". Below are the 3 pillars to convey that thought:
Be Welcoming
We take guest service to the guest. The guest does not come to us. We use the 10/5 rule. If a person is
about 10 feet from us(or any person walking in the front doors)we make eye contact. If they make eye
contact with us,we say hello. If they are within 5 feet we make eye contact with them and say hello either
way. They need to know we are glad they came in/called,we appreciate their business and we are here to
help. Nobody should walk through our front doors without getting a hello.
Communication
We are the conduit to any and all information at the facility. If we know the answer for sure,we give them
the answer clear and set an expectation that we know we can meet as a facility. If we do not know the
answer,we go find it. We do not make them wait. If we cannot get it quickly,we tell them we will get it
and call them back. It is vital that we follow through. Our reputation is in our hands.They need to know
we are glad they came in/called,we appreciate their business and we are here to help.
Sales
The sales rule is simple. If somebody is trying to give us money,we want to take it. However,we need to
make sure that we can meet the expectation and that we are getting them to the right product at the right
time. We ask open-ended questions to find out what they are looking for,what their goals are and how we
can help. Then we get them to that product and make the transaction.
Other important notes
• We are in uniform and presentable
• Only Managers may use their cell phones
• We are present. This means on time and at our post ready to help
• We talk to the guest more than other staff
• We make sure our area is clean,stocked and ready to go. We go to the guest. The guest does not
come to us.
16
Leagues Operations
Internal leagues are a key component to the success of VBSC.Leagues provide steady revenue throughout
the year while operating in five(5)true seasons per year:Holiday,Winter,Spring,Summer,and Fall.
League Seasons
The following are seasons in which leagues are offered as well as any important dates or issues to consider
when planning and scheduling:
• Holiday-Early November-Early January
o (Thanksgiving,Christmas,New Year's Eve,and Snow)
• Winter -Mid January-Mid March
o (snow)
• Spring-Late March-Late May
o (Easter,Memorial Day,and Rain)
• Summer-Mid June-Mid August
o July 4th,Labor Day,and T-Storms
• Fall-Mid August—Early November
o Labor Day,Columbus Day
League Format
Generally,leagues are done on a 50-minute schedule. This is done with 20-22 minute halves. 2-3 minutes
for a half time and 2-30 second time outs per game. Time outs should not be specific to a half,so teams do
not call them due to a use it or lose it thought. We want to get a minimum of 10 teams per field per night
on weekdays. In many cases in the high demand times,6 or 7 games are possible.For example:Monday
through Friday use a 5:40 start time. We like to lay our schedule out like this:
5:40
6:30
7:20
8:10
9:00
9:50
This gives us 12 teams per field opportunity during the week. We should start our schedule with the later
games and build to the earlier games as a habit. This allows us to sell the earlier time as rentals or for child
developmental classes. If the space does not appear to get rented,prior to the league starting,we adjust the
schedule for the best guest service. The higher the demand on the space the later the league can run. The
schedule should work that a team only gets a late game once in an 8 team league.
It is vital to keep games on schedule, as it shows that we are professionals at running our programs. On a
Tuesday in the spring being 10 minutes behind may seem manageable,but staying on pace is vital at max
capacity. There are 19 game times on a typical Saturday in the Winter. If we run 5 minutes behind
schedule per game,the 19th game will start 1.5 hours late. That means the 10:50pm game will start at
12:20am,which is unacceptable from a guest service point of view.
17
League Marketing
All of the above seasons should follow the same schedule with regards to marketing for leagues.Eight(8)
weeks out from the start of each season,marketing begins with websites updated to provide information
about the league.Websites will be up to provide the information at least all of the pertinent information
eight(8)weeks out from the start of the league. Registration should be open at this point,but no later than
six(6)weeks out from the start.We are cautious not to confuse the guest with seasons. We do not want
them registering for the Winter season when they were trying to register for the Fall season.
The website should consist of the following information:
• Special League Announcements
o Registration now Open,
o Weather cancellations,
o New night or other highlights
• League Start Date
• Early Registration Discount Deadline
• Days,Times,and Surface where league will be played
• Length of each game
• Length of season
• Rules
• Divisions
• League Contact Person
• Refund Policy
In addition to the website,we market in the following different ways to our participants:
• In-Person-The most valuable and still most effective marketing of leagues is in person meetings
and networking.Maintaining a network within our leagues is crucial to sustainability and growth
of the league.A face-to-face meeting can be extremely effective in gauging interest and adding a
personal touch to the recruitment.Word of mouth is still the most valuable marketing. Providing a
great experience or great guest service will always provide the best ROI for the marketing effort.
• Monthly Newsletter-Provide information and website links to the person who puts the newsletter
together to ensure all pertinent league information is included in the newsletter that reaches our
entire guest base.This is a great opportunity to do crossover marketing to guests in other programs
that do not do a league. Example: Parents of a child in a gymnastics program that might want to
join a volleyball league but did not know we offered it.
• Flyers-Flyers can be placed around the building and provide exposure to foot traffic within the
building to draw attention to our programs in highly traveled areas(bathrooms,food and beverage,
front desk,etc.)Flyer will also be placed in the community on bulletin boards and parks in the
area where the target market we are trying to reach may frequent(Churches,parks,bars,
community boards,gyms,etc.).Flyers will not be posted as loose paper inside the building. Every
flyer should be in some form of a display or plastic flyer holder.
Targeted E-mail blasts-E-mail blasts are an important tool to reach out to participants that have played in
the leagues in the past or are currently registered in a league.We can use our database to pull past
participants and reach them all in one quick,concise email simply letting them know we are offering the
program again,any new information,important dates,and that registration is now open.
Local Newspapers and Sport Sites-Many small local newspapers offer a community section that will post
sports information free-of-charge.It is worthwhile to reach out to these groups and include quick blurbs
about our offering with a link to our website each season.This is generally a valuable task for an intern to
take lead on if available.
18
Social Media-Social media is a great place to reach"fans"or"friends"of the facility directly,but also can
be a valuable place to find community groups within your target market.For example,there are many
homeschool groups that use Facebook regularly and may be an ideal place to reach out if you are trying to
organize a homeschool league.
League Registration
The information page on the company website should include a link to the registration page in the current
registration software.Whenever possible we should link to the main league registration landing page so the
participant or parent may find the category/sport they are looking for and register accordingly.
As league directors,we must set up the back end of the registration page through the software for all of our
leagues.This requires several steps,but is not a difficult process.It is our responsibility to add a personal
touch to the registration process,but at the same time,make it as effortless and systematic as possible. We
want a guest to be able to reregister with as few clicks as possible on the website.
League Guest Service
Leagues are all about the experience.As league directors,it is our responsibility to ensure that we are doing
our part to hear the participants. This is how we offer the best possible experience.Maintaining direct
communication both on-site and digitally throughout the league is imperative.
• Communication-Communication is the most important part of our job.When organizing leagues,
participants and parents of participants need to receive periodical updates when building teams or
making schedules.When people are left in the dark,they begin to feel uneasy.A quick note or
email update can go a long way for guest service.Participants should be made aware of any
schedule changes as soon as possible to help alleviate issues.Pre-season captains and coaches'
meetings are an important offering to address any issues prior to the season,rule changes,
clarifying any questions,and finding out what the participants truly want offered.Beginning of the
season,weekly emails with updates,and end-of-season wrap-ups are all valuable ways of reaching
our participants.
• Presence at Games-A league director,field marshal,or MOD should always have a presence at
all league games.The Director should be on-site when possible to address any issues,ensure
events run smoothly,and create lasting impressions and relationships with league participants and
families.
• Why we are the Best Option-We offer a one-stop,centralized location for any sports that the
participant or family may have interest in.Our leagues are highly organized with directors that
have a passion for sports and organizing leagues.League Director are professional,creative and
methodical in programming. This allows us to continue to think ahead and offer unique
programming that sets us apart from other competition.Continuing to think of ways to improve
existing leagues and creating new leagues,should be a part of all strategic planning.Stagnant
leagues are boring leagues.
League Staffing and Utilization
Field marshals,the front desk staff and the manager on duty are integral pieces to keeping competition fair
and fun.
Field MarshaIs-These employees are used to monitor quality control,guest players,officials and
field/court conditions during competition. A field marshal will check each team's roster to make sure other
19
players are not sneaking into games. They confirm that costs are managed and anyone not rostered goes to
the front desk to sign a waiver and pay a designated sub fee.It is important to remember that this game and
the time it is played is what we sell. It is easier to notice someone stealing a car from a car lot,but when
you sell time or services,it can be more difficult to see or explain. These processes protect us from law
suites and protect us financially. To protect competition during playoffs,any player not listed on the roster
is not permitted to play.
Front Desk-This part of the team is used to confirm if people have registered for the league if they are
not appearing on a roster.The field marshal is able to radio in to confirm names and balances. If the player
is not registered,the player comes to the front desk to sign a waiver and pay the applicable fee.
Manager o n Duty-The manager on duty(MOD)is here to support the field marshal and front desk
in any way possible. After they make sure the courts and track are set for any competition,the MOD is
able to assist in check-ins and support the front desk if there are multiple people needing to sign a waiver
and/or pay. The MOD is a primary guest interface.
League Crisis and Complaint Management
In any competitive setting,it is certain that there will be crisis and complaints. How we address any and all
issues is what will set us apart from other facilities offering leagues. As league directors,it is our job to
listen to any and all complaints from our participants,officials and employees and determine the best way
to act to come to a resolution.
• Crisis can range from injuries to fights and the proper steps must be taken to ensure safety for
all. Incident/accident reports must be filled out in their entirety when necessary to protect the
facility and those involved. Participants may never receive our incident/accident reports but may
receive an official summary on company letterhead.
• Complaints are most often received regarding referees. As league directors,we must make
ourselves open and available to listen to our participants and support our officials. This can
separate us from other facilities and will ensure our referees feel safe in our leagues.Our main job
in these situations is to keep the situation calm and to let the guest know that we are listening,we
take the complaint serious and we will address the problem. Many times the outcome will not be
immediate. In fact,we should often take our time to gather information. This gives the guest time
to decompress after intense competition. Officials and directors should remain professional at all
times,no matter how upset a guest gets.

Instructional Classes
As seen above instructional classes can vary in sport. Some sports can be difficult to run with the younger
ages. However,remember that these are entry level classes designed to be fun first and then teach
movement and socialization through a sport.
Seasons for Youth Programming can vary. These programs typically run 12 or 13 weeks, and cost between
$13-$15 per class.We follow the National Calendar laid out by the Lil'Kicker franchisor,which has four
seasons.
Families are busier than they have ever been. The more flexible these classes are,the more revenue they
will generate. The sweet spots for day/time of classes,is usually Saturday from 9am to Noon. However,
classes like gymnastics and martial arts can run on weekdays,from 5:00pm to 8:30pm,as heavy or heavier
than weekends. We should always be pushing to run as many classes as possible,but there is enormous
value to these programs running weekday programs that are outside of prime time.
Instructors do not need to be experts in the particular sport being taught,but they do need to be experts at
having fun with kids. These classes should have a set curriculum that the instructor follows closely. Most
facilities that fail with these programs do not have friendly and attentive staff or they do not follow the
program like it is designed.
Instructional Class Marketing
Marketing is important for these programs,because your guests are constantly growing out of our programs
and our potential new guests do not always know what programs are out there or where to look. Like any
program,we have to be in tune with our target market.
• We research all the outlets that parent with young children use. (Examples: Moms of multiples
groups,blogs,stroller strides,Mommy and me groups,etc.)Build relationships with these groups
for cross marketing purposes. We leverage off peak rental space for marketing,but be sure they
are working to help you. These are small businesses that like getting something for nothing.
• Grocery stores,animated movies,parks,etc.are all examples of places that we can advertise and
get good penetration into our market.We always try to use coupon codes to track our ROI.
• Mailers do not always provide a good ROI,but we usually do at least 1 per year to a targeted
audience in our area,just to keep our brand in front of potential new guests. Many of the bigger
programs do a 1000+count mailer every season.When you go to buy a list,the distributer can
pinpoint families in your criteria: drive time,age of child,income,etc.
• Open houses are vital as well. They will be scheduled the week before the start of the class. It is
usually a free and fun day for the kids,but can yield 25%of our registration if done well. The
open house should have all the instructors there teaching all the levels of classes. Balloons,music
and cheap snacks like popcorn are easy and fun. Adding all of your programs can make for a fun
family day. If you have the ability to attach an event to the open house,like a movie,you can
make it a community event. Summer movie series-the last Friday of every month!
• Every participant should receive a branded jersey. They will wear them everywhere and market
for you.
• Referral programs can incentivize word of mouth. This is always your highest ROI marketing
effort.
21
• Internal graphics are very important as well. Many of your participants have siblings or children
in the target market,but do not know you have programs for younger children.
• Be sure to follow the internal marketing guidelines to expose your traffic to your programs.
Daycare
Daycare can be a great revenue stream,but can be very risky due to strict guidelines and transportation
needs. Before and After school programs are the easiest to start,but typically require transportation. Our
local Elementary and Middle schools will often allow us to claim our business as a bus stop,but only for
one school. Most of the time that is not enough possible participants to attempt the licensure process.
Daycare does not always require transportation,as many of the children have not started school. These
programs are highly regulated and have strict guidelines we must follow. We will apply for licensing prior
to opening.Parents are paying anywhere from$100-$300 per week for most of the year for daycare. If you
have 20 children for 42 weeks of the year,we would bring in between$84,000-$252,000. These programs
usually feed off of each other as well. 85%of the children in the daycare will participate in other programs
in the facility.Thus the best place to market this program is in the programs we already run as well as the
relationships we have to market those programs.
The selling points for these programs are simple:
• Is the program convenient? Is it close to my home or work? Do you have curbside pick up or
drop off?
• What is the cost? Is it affordable compared to other programs in the area?
• Is my child safe?Can you be trusted to take care of the most important thing in that person's life?
• Is it a quality program? Does it follow the state guidelines? What do you offer that is different?
(usually we do all the sports that you already do.).What enrichment programs do we offer?
Camps
• School age summer camp(36 months to 12 is target market) 12+is CIT or adventure potential
• In-service or holiday camps(school is out,we are in)
• Sport specific camps
o Recreational level
o Competitive level
• Rental Camps
• Vendor Camps
In House Camps
• Traditional camp target market is 3-14
• Purchase is made with 4 main things in mind
o Safety
o Price
o Quality program
o Convenience
• Specialty Camps
o Sport,art,marine science,adventure specific
o Higher price point
22
o If half day,transition to traditional camp option should be offered and seamless
Rental Camps
• Strict rental of space
• Can be Elite training(Professional Players)
• They do all of the marketing
• Must be prices over In-house camps
• Execute a signed agreement and get a COI prior to start of camp
• Must go through camp orientation to ensure safety and seamless integration in to camp matrix
• Held to all safety procedures of in house camps
Vendor Camps
• Often when vendor camps can not afford the rental or there is too much risk,we will partner
with the company or operator of the camp
• We have shared risk and reward(usually a revenue share of 60/40 with 40%intended to cover
the rental rate.If it does not,the percentage increases until the rate is covered)
• We help market they run camp
• Remember our risk is in the building,not in their business
• They must have a history and reputation for us to consider partnering
• Having an application can weed out unqualified camp operators
• Execute a signed agreement and get a COI prior to start of camp
• Must go through camp orientation to ensure safety and seamless integration in to camp matrix
• Held to all safety procedures of in house camps
Rentals
Block Rentals for Clubs and Schools
Block rentals are great for locking up time in advance. It can become tricky to balance growth of internal
programming and rentals,as rental groups often want peak hours that are needed for high margin internal
programming. We all know that internal programming is historically the highest margin way to fill space,
but we do not always have enough internal programming to fill all the space. In cases where there are
chunks of open inventory,we try to sell it in blocks if possible.
Example: The 2:30pm to 4:30pm time slots can be difficult to get adult league and/or referees to.So
offering this time to local high schools at a discounted rate can bring in revenue that otherwise was very
difficult,create a strong tie to the high schools in the area,create demand(or the appearance of demand)for
all space,drive new concessions revenue,etc.
23
Tournaments
Again,if we can develop an internal program we do it,but running 15 weeks of tournaments can be
challenging in many ways. Using outside groups to fill inventory not used is a strong move. Be sure to do
the calculations on gross margins before displacing current revenue. Understand,that moving current
inventory can have greater affects than just dollar for dollar income moves.
Tenants
Tenant revenue is nice because it usually has minimal to no cost of goods. The only thing to watch here is
that you are not using valuable programming space that could be a high gross and net at the end of the day.
Special Events
Special Events are great fillers of space. They also bring users into the facility that would not typically
come. Be sure to use that traffic to your marketing benefit. Here are some examples of historical special
events:
• Concerts
• Field Days
• Consignment Sales
• Firework Shows
• Political Rallies
• Disaster Trainings
• Movie Nights
• Circus
• Church Services
• Fairs
• Expos
Tournaments
There are three main parts of running a tournament:
• Facility-The facility is the venue at which the tournament will take place. This can be more
than one location.
• Operations-Operations represents how the function of actually running the tournament. This
is from registration to evaluation and everything in between.
• Draw/Marketing—The Draw is the leverage to bring in the teams needed for critical mass of
running the tournament. In some cases this is about upside growth more than start up
tournaments.
Tournament Types
For the purpose of finding a common denominator,think of tournaments in these three categories:
• In-House
• Rental
• Partner/Revenue Share
24
In-house Tournaments
• Highest upside
• Can take years to build up to upside
• Must invest in staff and technology to execute draw/marketing/execution
Rental Tournaments
• Lowest upside
• Tournament company does not have buy-in to facility.They must be held to facility rules and
regulations
• Usually want best inventory at lowest price
• Big relationships can help fill shoulder seasons
Partner/Revenue Share Tournaments
• Can be the most efficient way to grow large tournaments in a short period of time
• Can save venue money on wages by not investing in staff to operate tournaments
• Must find a company that understands your investment/risk is in the facility
• These are usually long term relationships with non-competes
• Co-Branding is vital as the tournament operator could have all the contacts and relationships
to take the business as tournament matures.
Tournament Operations
Scheduling
There are many things to consider when scheduling:How many games?What competitive level are the
teams? Where are they coming from? How are the playoffs going to work? How many fields do we have?
For how many game slots? What happens if there is inclement weather?
With so many things to consider,it is important to control registration to a level that provides a quality
experience to the participating teams. Schedules must be to the teams in enough time to plan and
communicate to their players/parents. There will always be changes,and we should do everything we can
to accommodate new participation. However,there is a time where allowing new entries can drastically
affect the quality of the product. Each Tournament Director needs to ask themselves that question before
adding a team after the schedule has been posted.
Here are the main scheduling points to keep in mind when running a tournament:
• Keep games competitive
• Get schedule out in a timely manner
• Over communicate with participants
• Be as convenient as possible—Do not schedule a team driving 3 hours the day of the tournament,
a 7:30am game.
Parking
It is easy to look at capacity of a tournament by looking at how much field/court space is available. In
facilities with limited parking,this can cause an extreme drop in quality of the tournament. A safe metric is
25
100 parking spots per game surface(typical full sided long field game). Each sport is different,but if you
start with this metric,it will red flag any areas where you might be running out of parking.
In cases where parking is limited,be sure to have clear signage to steer parking. Fields that are used,can
be lined to assure people do not double park or block major enter/exit veins. In some cases,hiring parking
staff is required to keep parking under control.
Be creative where parking is an issue. Local schools,train stations,shopping/grocery stores can all provide
overflow parking in a pinch. Build those relationships way before the problem occurs. Know all of your
local shuttling options,in case you have to call them with an emergency.
Facilities
We manage elite facilities!It is important to translate what we mean by elite facilities.
Clean Facilities
Whether a facility has the wow factor or not when you walk into it,the most controllable factor of having
an elite facility is keeping it clean. Cleaning a facility should start with high traffic areas and work outward.
The highest traffic areas are typically:bathrooms,entry ways,bottlenecks in egress,spectator areas,player
benches and the parking lot/sidewalks. These areas should have routine cleaning schedules depending on
your staffing size.
A checklist means nothing without accountability. Whoever the facility staff report to,must check behind
them frequently to ensure that the checklists are being executed. Keeping the building clean is everyone's
responsibility. Managers will lead by example,when it comes to picking up trash,pitching in on spills,etc.
Walk-throughs are very important for the overall health of the building. Managers will have a routine of
walking the building inside and out,specifically looking at cleanliness,functionality,risk management,and
efficiencies.
Maintenance
Maintaining hundreds of thousands of square feet of sports facilities and acres of sports fields with
enormous amounts of foot traffic is no easy feet. It takes being acutely aware of the status of the whole
facility. On one hand we are leveraging an asset to produce as much revenue as possible and on the other
hand we are trying to protect the asset and make it last. This takes balance and constant communication
between programs and facility staff,but almost as important is leadership from management to ensure that
the balance is in place.
Because there is always a list full of work,it is easy to be reactive to maintenance issues. The key to being
successful long-term is getting ahead of the problems. This takes commitment to creating the system that
takes care of the building. All assets that are on the books should have a detailed maintenance schedule
that is kept in a log book and put into the calendar. Example 1:The facility work truck should have oil
changes,inspections,pre-summer inspection,pre-winter inspection,etc.on the calendar. Example 2:
Soccer goals should be checked for chipping paint,bolts that are getting loose,condition of nets,general
26
wear and tear from use,etc.before every season starts. It is a good exercise to have it in the GMs calendar
as well.
It is our goal for the whole facility to be our focus,but in order to accomplish this,we break the facility into
zones. Depending on resources,have 1 or more zones be the focus for each month. Coming out of that
month,that zone should be deep cleaned and refreshed. This is a great time to log any long-term issues and
add to the capital expense plan. Be sure to budget expenses for these projects. If there is limited money for
improvements,keep an ongoing list of items that need attention. In some cases,not putting money into
these areas will be investing in failure down the road,but often projects can be pushed for timing purposes.
When money is an issue,always set a date to revisit the list.This will keep it fresh in everyone's mind and
could be a valuable resource to show ownership.
Not all areas that are showing wear,need to be replaced. Be creative on how to keep the facility looking
elite while being as cost efficient as possible. Example: Mirrors tend to wear on the edges over time. This
makes the facility look old and tired,but replacing large mirrors can cost thousands of dollars. Since
bathrooms are high traffic areas,create a banner to go around the edges of the mirror that advertise a
constant in-house program(Little kids soccer class). Sharp graphics will brighten the area,hide the
wearing spot on the mirror and only cost a couple hundred dollars installed.
Efficiencies
Managing efficiencies is an important part of the facilities department. Although the facilities department
may steer the sponsorship team vendors,there is usually no revenue produced by the facilities department.
Saving money on utilities and vendor contracts can have an even greater impact than those sponsorship
dollars. In cases where there is software to help mange HVAC,lighting,etc.be sure to check the system
that the timing is set appropriately. Look for am/pm mistakes,time zone discrepancies,occupied/non-
occupied times as seasons change,etc. Putting seasonal events like daylight saving time changes in your
calendar make catching these things effortless.
In facilities that do not have software,it is even more important to keep these efficiencies in front of all of
the staff. It is very easy for the instructor of a day time soccer class to manually turn the lights on and then
forget to turn them off while cleaning up and debriefing parents on the progress of their child. Obviously
we want it to be on the staff member's check list for breaking down the program,but it needs to be a team
effort. In many cases the front desk staff member is a great person to manage the lighting in off peak times.
They are greeting each person that enters and saying buy when they leave,so they know when the lights
should be on/off.
Constantly compare year versus year usage and rates for all utilities and contract services. This will help
catch price increase that were not expected,leaks that are not apparent,and times to look for new
partnerships.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship is an important part of every sports facility. It not only adds to the bottom line,but adds to the
prestige of the programs/facility. Below are bullet points outlining Eastern Sports Management's
philosophy for the sponsorship department:
27
• Sales—The development of the sales pipeline is critical for success. Although every market is
different,there are 3 major areas that should be the foundation for development of the sponsorship
sales pipeline.
o Vendors/Tenants/Users-We give these businesses our money,so there is a natural trade
component,but exclusivity and preferred vending could be exploited as well. We will
explore all vendors(lending,food and beverage distributers,electrical,HVAC,plumbing,
fencing,cleaning,energy providers,cable companies,equipment rental,etc.). Tenants
are tied to our business and are there because they value our traffic. Getting them to
expand that influence should be an option. Finally,we include users into our sales
pipeline. Often travel teams,rental camps,wholesale leagues,etc.are looking to add to
their business exposure and brand.
o Direct and Indirect beneficiaries—Direct beneficiaries are companies that sell products
that are required to run or participate in the program that we are running.A few examples
of direct beneficiaries are: sporting equipment,apparel,sports drinks,supplies(nets,
goals,balls,etc.),etc. Indirect beneficiaries are companies that provide services,and
sometimes supplies,that are not required to participate but are still consumed as a result
of the traffic. A few examples of indirect beneficiaries are: hotels,t-shirt sales,
restaurants,shopping centers,communities,golf courses,movie theaters,etc.
o Historic buyers in the market—this could be a moving target in each market,but there is
data that can lump a few of these potential sponsors directly into your pipeline. We look
at our local stadiums and listen to local sports radio to determine who is spending
marketing dollars in our area,as well as whom values sports marketing. A few examples
of businesses that consistently buy sponsorships from sports facilities are:auto
dealerships,hospitals,physical therapy and rehab facilities,private educators,hotels,
restaurants,banks,beverage distributers.
• Education of industry/business/traffic—one of the biggest hurdles for landing big sponsorships
is educating the potential sponsor about our business. We have to go into every meeting with the
assumption that they know nothing of the industry. Some educating points are:
o $2.2 billion industry
o Reach—3 out of every 4 families within 20 minutes use the facility in some capacity
o Frequency—Most users use the facility at least once a week
o Saturation of market—Over 90%of local athletes within a 20-minute drive have used our
facility
• Identify needs of sponsor—Working with the sponsor to reach their goals is a key. In order to
help them reach their goals,we need to ask them what they are trying to accomplish and
internalize these goals. There are many different reasons to buy a sponsorship from a sports
facility:
o Increase in sales
o Block competition from sponsoring
o Branding
o Community outreach
o Reach a different demographic
o Etc.
• How can sponsoring a sports facility help a company reach their goals?
o Reach
o Frequency
28
o Prestige
o Branding
o Exclusivity
o Creativity/Customization to specific demographic or service
• See it through—All levels of sponsorship deserve our attention. We have to do everything we
can to steer our traffic to sponsors and try to impact their bottom line. It is important to keep them
aware of the buzz around the facility and how hard their dollars are working for them. There are a
few key components to this process that must be accomplished:
o Sponsors should be reached throughout the term of their sponsorship. The rule of thumb
is 7 times a year minimum. Big sponsors should see you much more.
o At the end of each quarter of the fiscal year you should send each sponsor a quarterly
report that shows the traffic,events and any other highlights that have happened around
the facility. This keeps the sponsorship fresh in the sponsor's mind and lets them know
we are still working hard for them.
o Traffic/Season/event updates are a good way to keep the buzz in the air. This also allows
us to quickly quantify the impact of their dollars at different points of the year. This
could lead to a specific event sponsor as well.
o Invites to special events. Inviting sponsors to big events and busy times allow the
sponsor to feel appreciated or special and to see how the traffic is first hand. The
investment of snacks in the conference room or a golf outing for top sponsors will be well
worth the investment when all said and done. Make them feel a part of the buzz.
Fluffing the decision maker is sales 101.

Emergency Operations Procedures
XXXX 19th Street
Virginia Beach, VA 23451
Phone: (757) XXX-XXXX
Statement of Purpose:
These Emergency Operations Procedures have been developed to provide Facility staff
with a set of thumbnail responses for a variety of crisis situations that could easily
develop. These procedures should be referred to whenever necessary. Each staff member
should keep this booklet in a convenient location. These plans shall be reviewed on an
annual basis to ensure they are accurate and up-to-date.
General Responsibilities of the Staff
Virginia Beach Sports Center recognizes its responsibility for the safety of guests and
staff during natural and man-made disasters. Through planning, training and preparation
we can handle emergency situations. All staff will be trained upon hiring and will be
reviewed annually.
Objectives of this Guide:
• To promote a standardized,minimum emergency procedure plan that will assist
staff to meet both ethical and legal responsibilities to their peers, guests, and
community in times of emergency.
• To provide suggestions for meeting minor emergencies, as well as
recommendations for action during major natural disasters or man-made disasters.
• To provide suggested forms to be used.
• To improve communication among staff.
VBSC Staff:
• All staff will become familiar with the various alarm signals and react
immediately, calmly, and appropriately. If evacuation is necessary,make sure the
process is as orderly and prompt as possible. Also, make sure all doors are closed
and that guests and staff are relocated to the designated area appropriate to the
nature of the emergency.
• If a hazard to the safety of staff and guests is identified, or if staff or guests are in
danger in any way,the first priority of all staff should be to take whatever action
is prudent and necessary for the safety of all. The second priority will be to notify
supervisors as soon as possible.
30
• Staff should make every effort not to leave guests unattended.
• Staff members trained in CPR and/or First Aid should go to any part of the VB SC
where guests or staff injuries are reported. Their major responsibility should be to
apply first aid to the injury. Each unit and office should keep a well-stocked,
portable First Aid kit and working flashlight on hand at all times.
• All staff not immediately responsible for taking action should standby at the onset
of any emergency to receive directions from the supervisory personnel.
General Manager/ Manager on Duty:
• The senior supervisor present should supervise all procedures during the initial
stages of the emergency. As soon as the nature of the emergency is identified,
he/she should make sure that:
• The appropriate alarm is sounded or EAP is enacted.
• Procedures to ensure safety of the guests and staff are being implemented.
• Proper authorities and agencies are notified.
• Internal communication channels are established within the building and
