About
Soccer Shots is a children’s soccer program where kids take part in 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 songs, fun games, and team competitions that incorporate basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing, shooting, and competitive play. Activities take place in a safe environment called Soccer Island.
• 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 program uses an age-appropriate, expert-designed curriculum that aligns with early childhood education standards and places an emphasis on character development and skill building. The curriculum was created under the guidance of childhood education specialists, professional soccer players, and experienced and licensed soccer coaches.
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. Coaches are selected for both their ability to coach soccer and their ability to engage and inspire children. Soccer Shots notes that it uses proactive communication about 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. From its beginnings, it 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, and the organization partners with local childcare centers, preschools, elementary schools, and other organizations to bring soccer to children across North America.
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 consistently recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as the #1 Children’s Fitness Franchise in the U.S. Soccer Shots is described as the most trusted and engaging children’s soccer program for ages 18 months to 8 years and is positioned as a best-in-class children’s soccer program with a focus on character development.
Parents have shared feedback about the program, including comments about children moving through different Soccer Shots levels, learning soccer skills and taking turns, and showing independence and growth over months in the program. Parents in several cities, including Kalamazoo, Phoenix, Dallas, and San Diego, have mentioned their experiences with coaches, organization, and how engaged their children were during sessions.
