PLAN
High-Level Financial Plan
We provide every approved club with a simple, consistent financial model that ensures fairness, transparency, and predictable revenue (Exact formulas and breakdowns are provided only after clubs are accepted into PIL).
This Model Ensures:
-
Clubs recover their Home-match court costs
-
Clubs maintain alignment with other participating clubs
-
Players pay a clear, reasonable price based on division size
-
PIL remains consistent, fair, and competitive across the region
How Clubs Make Money
Our process is intentionally simple and uniform across the league (The detailed per-team and per-player pricing sheet is shared only after clubs sign the participation agreement.)
Team Fee
Clubs receive a uniform Team Fee through their normal booking system.
Admin Fee
PIL collects a small Per Player Admin Fee for league operations.
Team Share
Teams split the Team Fee among players as they choose.
How Clubs Qualify
Qualified clubs receive immediate onboarding materials and the full participation packet.
