• Ages: 1–8 years old
Soccer Shots was formed in 1997 and began franchising in 2005, with 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 2023. Soccer Shots Franchising, LLC is based in central Pennsylvania, just east of Harrisburg. The program’s curriculum is created under the guidance of childhood education specialists, professional soccer players, and experienced and licensed soccer coaches, and is described as expert-designed and developmentally appropriate, aligning with early childhood education standards and placing an emphasis on character development and skill building. It includes a high-energy program for toddlers that introduces fundamental soccer principles such as using feet, dribbling, and basic rules of the game through songs, fun games, and positive reinforcement, sessions for preschoolers that use creative and imaginative games and highlight a positive character trait each session such as respect, teamwork, and appreciation, and an advanced program for school-aged children that builds on skills and introduces competitive play through fun games and team competitions. Soccer Shots is positioned as a best-in-class children’s soccer program with a focus on character development and is consistently recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as the #1 Children’s Fitness Franchise in the U.S.
Every Soccer Shots coach must complete a comprehensive training program to receive certification. All coaches are trained in the use of developmentally appropriate techniques, are routinely evaluated, and undergo ongoing training. The program’s mission statement is: “As the premier Children’s Soccer Experience, our mission is clear – we aim to positively impact children’s lives.” 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. Founding partners are Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb, and in May of 2009, Justin Bredeman became the third Soccer Shots partner.
Parents have shared feedback such as: “Watching my daughter grow, starting in Mini and moving into Classic, has been a blast. She went from holding my hand to walking across Soccer Island to running away from me as soon as she saw her coach. She’s learning soccer skills, taking turns, independence, how to cheer for others, and so much more. I’m so glad we found Soccer Shots!” (Nicole, Kalamazoo, MI). Another parent said, “Our instructor was great. We have signed up for the summer season and can’t wait to start.” (Tony, Phoenix, AZ). One parent commented, “Amazing coaches and program. I have seen so much growth in my daughter over the months she has been with Soccer Shots!” (Brittany, Dallas, Texas). Another shared, “After having done a different program, we were so appreciative of how organized Soccer Shots was. They did an amazing job of keeping the kids engaged in what was happening.” (Sarah, San Diego, CA).
