We constantly reevaluate and update our curriculum to stay current with childhood education standards.

Our age‑appropriate curriculum places an emphasis on character development as well as skill building.

Our coaches attend training meetings at the beginning of each season.

Our coaches are routinely evaluated and provided feedback for growth and development.

Our coach selection process evaluates not only the ability to coach soccer, but, more importantly, the ability to engage and inspire children.

Soccer Shots is annually listed among the top franchises in youth fitness and recreation, and our expert‑approved curriculum sets us apart from other enrichment programs.
