Overview
Local schools are one of the most effective places to introduce Calculated Performance to new players and families. Schools provide direct access to large groups of children who may benefit from additional football training outside of their regular physical education or school sport.
Building positive relationships with schools can help franchisees increase awareness of the programme within the local community and create opportunities to introduce new players to the training environment.
Strong school relationships often become a valuable and consistent source of new enquiries.
