From the filings
Software purchasing authority at National Academy of Athletics is not detailed in the most recent FDD, leaving the decision-making level unclear. The franchise does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology systems, presenting a greenfield opportunity for vendors. With only one mapped operator location, the immediate addressable market is extremely small.
For software vendors selling into US franchise brands.

National Academy of Athletics operates in the youth services segment and appears to be independently owned, with no parent company on file. For software vendors, the immediate opportunity is defined by a single mapped operator location in Michigan. No multi-unit operators are present, and the unit-band split shows no operators in the 2-9, 10-24, or 25+ unit ranges. This is a micro-footprint franchise where any software sale would be a one-location deal at the outset.
The FDD does not disclose total units, franchised versus company-owned counts, average unit volume, royalty rates, or initial term length. Year-over-year unit growth is also not available. This lack of public performance data means vendors must rely on direct engagement to size the long-term potential.
The 2026 FDD does not list any executives in Item 1. Without named leadership, the software buying center is unknown. Vendors should assume that purchasing decisions likely rest with the owner-operator or a general manager at the single location, but this is not confirmed by the franchise disclosure document. There is no indication of a centralized HQ technology team or a mandated procurement hierarchy.
No technology systems are mandated or recommended in the most recent FDD. The document captures no named vendors for POS, scheduling, CRM, or any operational software. This absence of an Item 11 tech mandate means the franchise is a blank slate for software vendors. Any pitch should focus on the specific needs of a youth sports program—such as registration, parent communication, and camp management—since no incumbent systems are locked in.
Item 8 procurement signals are absent from the FDD extract. It is not disclosed whether National Academy of Athletics requires franchisees to purchase from designated suppliers, maintain an approved supplier list, or allows an open procurement model. Vendors should clarify this directly with the operator.
Item 17 contains a notable renewal provision: if the franchise term is less than five years and the franchisee is prohibited from continuing a similar business in the same area, or does not receive six months' notice of non-renewal, the franchisor must fairly compensate the franchisee for inventory, supplies, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings. This provision hints that shorter-term agreements may be in play, but the standard initial term length is not stated. Without a defined term or renewal window, software contract timing remains opaque.
The full 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is available below. It contains the legal and operational disclosures that govern the franchise relationship, including the Item 17 renewal conditions and any future updates to Item 11 technology requirements. Reviewing the FDD directly is essential, as the current extract lacks detail on unit economics, leadership, and tech mandates.
