Our story
Travel soccer
gets expensive
fast.
So instead of another catalog of cookie dough, we built a small fundraising program around something families would actually wear — premium supporter gear, local sponsors, and seasonal events to come.
North Coast FC is a competitive youth soccer club in Petaluma, California — the second-tier program in the Petaluma Youth Soccer League. The kids practice three times a week and travel to tournaments across Northern California.
The first tournament costs about $6,000 per team. The season involves training fields, uniforms, travel weekends, and the miscellaneous costs that quietly add up. Most teams cover this with bake sales and pledge drives.
This shop is the alternative. Premium supporter hoodies, designed for the families who actually show up — parents in folding chairs at 7am tournaments, grandparents on the sideline, siblings who just want to wear the same thing their brother does. Every hoodie funds the season. Every sponsor logo on the back is a local business saying they're in.
This is for families who show up.
One brand. Two sets of kids. One coordinator running both fundraisers.
Coach Miguel Rangel. The younger of the two teams in the program. First-year U8s working through their first competitive season.
Coach Tony Castillo. U9 boys stepping up to a faster game and a longer season schedule.
Both teams share this storefront, the same brand, and the same vendor. Money is tracked strictly per team — Red sponsors fund the Red team, Blue sponsors fund the Blue team. Never blended.
Three categories. Kept structurally clean.
Tax-deductible through Petaluma Youth Soccer League dba North Coast FC, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (Federal Tax ID #94-2380871). Written acknowledgement on every gift $250 or more, per IRS substantiation rule.
Local businesses on the player hoodie back. Three tiers — Family ($100), Supporting ($250), Primary ($500) — each tagged to a specific team. A business can sponsor both; accounting stays separate per team.
Supporter hoodies for parents, family, friends. Margin funds the season. Not tax-deductible — that part just buys a hoodie you'll wear all winter.
