About
Soccer Shots is a soccer program where children participate in soccer activities using age-appropriate games and drills. The program offers structured soccer sessions led by trained coaches who follow a specific curriculum.
• Ages: 1–8 years old
Soccer Shots offers programs called MINI (Toddler), CLASSIC (Preschool), and PREMIER (School-Age), each focusing on soccer skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and basic rules of the game. MINI introduces children to using their feet, dribbling, and simple rules through songs, fun games, and positive reinforcement. CLASSIC uses creative and imaginative games and includes a focus on a positive character trait in each session, such as respect, teamwork, and appreciation. PREMIER uses an advanced curriculum for school-aged children that builds on skills and introduces competitive play through games and team competitions.
Every Soccer Shots coach must complete a comprehensive training program to receive certification, and all coaches are trained in the use of developmentally appropriate techniques. Coaches are routinely evaluated and participate in ongoing training, and the coach selection process evaluates both soccer coaching ability and the ability to engage and inspire children. The curriculum is created under the guidance of childhood education specialists, professional soccer players, and experienced and licensed soccer coaches, and it aligns with early childhood education standards with an emphasis on character development and skill building. Programs are taught by fully trained coaches in an environment referred to as Soccer Island, and Soccer Shots proactively communicates cancellations due to weather or other circumstances and emphasizes timely, responsive communication.
Soccer Shots states its mission as aiming 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. 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 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. 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. The founding partners are Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb, and in May of 2009, Justin Bredeman became the third Soccer Shots partner.
Parents from various locations have shared feedback about the program. One parent from Kalamazoo, Michigan, described a child’s progression from the MINI to the CLASSIC program and noted growth in soccer skills, turn-taking, independence, and cheering for others. A parent from Phoenix, Arizona, commented positively on an instructor and mentioned enrolling for a summer season. A parent from Dallas, Texas, described seeing growth in a daughter over several months with Soccer Shots and referred to the coaches and program as amazing. A parent from San Diego, California, compared Soccer Shots to another program and described Soccer Shots as organized and effective at keeping children engaged.
