The biggest club in this whole project — $9.08M in FY2025 revenue, up 7.5x since 2012. For six of those years, a "Director" named Jon Szczuka drew six-figure nonprofit pay while running a for-profit company under the same Sporting umbrella tied to Slammers FC.
From FY2016 through FY2021, Jon Szczuka drew between $119,205 and $189,987 a year from Pateadores as a "Director" — roughly $838,000 total. He's also the manager of Sporting California LLC, the for-profit entity behind the same "Sporting" umbrella that connects to Slammers FC. His nonprofit pay stopped appearing entirely starting FY2022, the same window Sporting California LLC was scaling up.
Pateadores' own revenue grew almost every year of the period in question, from $3.28M (FY2016) to $9.08M (FY2025) — a 2.8x increase even as Szczuka's name disappeared from the compensation table and a new slate of "Chapter Directors" took over paid leadership.
Fiscal year ends in May. Revenue has grown in 11 of the last 15 years, with negative net assets for eight straight years in the middle of the run.
Net assets were negative every single year from FY2014 through FY2021 — peaking at −$278,389 in FY2016 — despite revenue growing throughout that stretch. The club was consistently leveraged even while expanding.
Net assets have been positive and rising every year since FY2022, reaching $1.51M in FY2025 — the healthiest balance sheet in the organization's digitized history.
Confirmed via California Secretary of State filings, cross-referenced against Pateadores' own compensation tables.
Jon Szczuka is listed as the sole manager of Sporting California LLC — the same person who drew Director pay from Pateadores every year from FY2016 to FY2021, peaking at $189,987 in FY2020, the year before this LLC was formed. His last appearance in Pateadores' compensation table is FY2021 ($119,205); from FY2022 onward, a new slate of "Chapter Directors" (Ignacio Cid, Theothoros Chronopoulos, and others) took over paid leadership roles.
This entity also connects to the broader "Sporting" umbrella that includes Sporting Club Management Company, L.P. (a 1990 California limited partnership, general partner SPOA, Inc., a Delaware corporation) and Sporting Slammers FC, an Irvine venture tied to the Ryan Lemmon Foundation — see the Entity Map for the full picture across clubs.
Whether Szczuka's exit from Pateadores' payroll and Sporting California LLC's formation are directly connected — a transfer of duties, a change in how he's compensated, or simply an unrelated leadership transition — isn't disclosed anywhere public. The timing overlaps closely enough to be worth watching, not treating as settled fact.
Compensation went from a single well-paid Director (Szczuka) through 2021 to a full slate of "Chapter Directors" and "Academy Director" roles by 2024–2025.
