Who it's for
US beginner videographers, sports parents, and former athletes who know one local youth-sports community, can commit about 12 hours a week for one season, and want a focused business they can grow on weekends — not a general-purpose media company.
About this playbook
This playbook takes a youth-sports highlight-video service from a first conversation to a measured first season, all inside one local league. You prove that parents will pay before you spend a dollar — the plan stops there if fewer than three families pre-order — then define one package at a fixed price, run the numbers, register a single-member LLC, and land your first ten customers on the strength of three portfolio videos. It is built for a solo operator with a camera and a car working one competitive season, not for a studio, an agency, or weddings and events. Music licensing, parental consent, sideline access, and editing capacity are handled step by step, with the US forms and offices named where they apply. By day 90 you know your profit per filming and editing hour and you hold a written decision for the next season.

What you need first
At least three warm contacts among parents or coaches in one youth-sports league, $3,000 in own savings available before the season starts, a car to reach games in your region, and about 12 hours a week across the season. No camera, LLC, or prior video clients are required — the plan buys the gear only after demand is proven.
