About
Soccer Shots is a children’s soccer program where kids play soccer, learn age-appropriate soccer skills, and take part in character-building activities. Sessions include songs, fun games, and team competitions that take place on “Soccer Island.”
• Ages: 18 months–8 years old
Soccer Shots offers three program types: MINI (Toddler), CLASSIC (Preschool), and PREMIER (School-Age). MINI introduces children to fundamental soccer principles such as using their feet, dribbling, and basic rules of the game through songs, fun games, and positive reinforcement. CLASSIC uses creative and imaginative games, focuses on basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, and highlights a positive character trait each session such as respect, teamwork, and appreciation. PREMIER is an advanced program for school-aged children that builds on skills and introduces competitive play through fun games and team competitions. The curriculum is expert-designed, developmentally appropriate, aligns with early childhood education standards, and places emphasis on character development and skill building. The program is 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. Soccer Shots partners with local childcare centers, preschools, elementary schools, and other organizations to bring soccer to children across North America. Soccer Shots proactively communicates cancellations due to weather or other circumstances and emphasizes timely, responsive communication. The stated mission is to positively impact children’s lives as the premier children’s soccer experience. Soccer Shots is consistently recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as the #1 Children’s Fitness Franchise in the U.S. Soccer Shots Franchising, LLC is based in central Pennsylvania, just east of Harrisburg.
Soccer Shots was formed in 1997. In 2005, it began franchising and opened 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 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 2023. 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 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 that they have seen growth in their children over the months they have been with Soccer Shots and that coaches and the program are amazing. One parent described watching a child move from holding a parent’s hand to running to the coach on Soccer Island, noting that the child was learning soccer skills, taking turns, independence, and how to cheer for others. Other parents have said instructors were great, that they signed up for additional seasons, and that the program was organized and kept kids engaged.
