Soccer Stars is backed by 20+ years of experience and is described as the nation’s most popular children’s soccer program for ages 1 to 12+. The program offers a comprehensive, developmental experience for children ages 1 to 12+ in a fun, non-competitive, and educational environment with an age-specific, specially designed age-appropriate curriculum. The program uses positive reinforcement learning through play, focuses on instilling an active and healthy lifestyle, and maintains a low child-to-coach ratio. The curriculum is crafted by soccer experts and child development professionals, and coaches bring a blend of soccer and early childhood development experience, undergo extensive background checks, and participate in rigorous training programs. The Shining Stars program uses soccer to teach life skills to children with developmental challenges, and private classes are described as a completely personalized experience. Soccer Stars joined the Youth Athletes United team in 2018 as a leading youth franchise and operating platform.

The stated goal of Soccer Stars is to help children improve their gross motor and soccer skills, and its philosophy goes beyond teaching the fundamentals of the sport by using the soccer ball as a vehicle to instill important life lessons, develop skills, boost confidence, and develop teamwork in every class. The program states that it is dedicated to ensuring that young players have safe and positive experiences on the field. Soccer Stars also partners with early childhood centers, preschools, and elementary schools to offer in-house programming.
