About
Soccer Shots is a children’s soccer program where kids play soccer, learn age-appropriate soccer skills, and practice fundamental soccer principles such as using their feet, dribbling, and the basic rules of the game. Sessions include basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, along with fun games, team competitions, and competitive play on Soccer Island, which is described as a safe environment.
• Ages: 18 months–8 years old
Soccer Shots states that its mission as the premier children’s soccer experience is to positively impact children’s lives. The curriculum is created under the guidance of childhood education specialists, professional soccer players, and experienced and licensed soccer coaches, and it is described as developmentally appropriate with an emphasis on character development and skill building. Programs for toddlers are high-energy and introduce fundamental soccer principles through songs, fun games, and positive reinforcement. Sessions for preschoolers use creative and imaginative games and highlight a positive character trait each session, such as respect, teamwork, and appreciation. An advanced program for school-aged children uses a curriculum specifically designed for this age group that builds on skills and introduces competitive play.
Every Soccer Shots coach must complete a comprehensive training program to receive certification, is trained in the use of developmentally appropriate techniques, and is routinely evaluated and given ongoing training. Soccer Shots describes its coaches as best-in-class and fully trained, and notes that staff understand the importance of timely, responsive communication, including proactive communication of cancellations due to weather or other circumstances.
Soccer Shots was formed in 1997 and began franchising in 2005, opening its first four franchises in Ohio, Delaware, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The founding partners are Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb, and in May 2009, Justin Bredeman became the third Soccer Shots partner. From its beginnings, Soccer Shots has grown to over 300 territories across 43 states and 2 Canadian provinces, with over 560,000 enrollments in Soccer Shots programming in 2023. Soccer Shots Franchising, LLC is based in central Pennsylvania, just east of Harrisburg.
Soccer Shots reports that it is consistently recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as the #1 Children’s Fitness Franchise in the U.S. Through partnerships with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Nike, and other organizations, Soccer Shots aims to impact children and communities across the U.S. and the world. Soccer Shots is offered in over 43 states and two provinces across the U.S. and Canada.
Parents have shared feedback such as a child progressing from holding a parent’s hand to running to the coach and learning soccer skills, taking turns, independence, and how to cheer for others, as described by Nicole from Kalamazoo, MI. Other parents, including Tony from Phoenix, AZ, Brittany from Dallas, Texas, and Sarah from San Diego, CA, describe positive experiences with the coaches, organization, and their children’s growth and engagement in the program.
