Soccer Shots Portland, OR is part of a program that was formed in 1997 and began franchising in 2005, with its first four franchises in Ohio, Delaware, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

The program offers three core options to meet the developmental needs of children ages 18 months to 8 years old: Mini (Toddler), Classic (Preschool), and Premier (School Age). Mini (Toddler) Soccer for ages 18 months to 3 years old introduces children to fundamental soccer principles such as using feet, dribbling, and basic rules of the game through songs, fun games, and positive reinforcement, and focuses on developing coordination, skills, and confidence through imaginative play. Classic (Preschool) for ages 3–5 years old focuses on basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting and highlights a positive character trait each session such as respect, teamwork, and appreciation, using themed, interactive play to build soccer skills, teamwork, and character. Premier (School Age) for ages 5–8 years old utilizes a curriculum specifically designed for school-aged children that builds on skills and introduces competitive play with fun games and team competitions, strengthening individual skills and team play through game-like challenges. Each of the three core programs teaches the right skills at the right age and aims to build character, skills, and confidence while also having fun.
Soccer Shots states that its mission as the premier children’s soccer experience is to positively impact children’s lives. The curriculum aligns with early childhood education standards and places an emphasis on character development and skill building, and it is constantly re-evaluated and updated to stay current with childhood education standards. Soccer Shots is positioned as a best-in-class children’s soccer program with a focus on character development.
Soccer Shots is taught by fully trained coaches, and every 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 coach selection process evaluates both the ability to coach soccer and the ability to engage and inspire children. Soccer Shots provides an exceptional customer experience with ongoing communication and proactive communication of cancellations.
