Our Mission Statement:

To provide children with creative, simple play activities which will enable children to "exercise" through the world's most popular sport-SOCCER!

Our Philosophy:

The foundation of our program comes from our own appreciation of the game of soccer and the positive character traits we've developed through participation in the game. All Soccer Shots participants are treated with dignity and respect and are thus expected to treat each other in the same way. Sportsmanship and fair play take precedence over winning. Teamwork, obedience, and good attitudes are reinforced during every session.

We use soccer as a tool to accomplish more than soccer:

Kids Win!

·Use of imagination
·Creative play activities
Coordination, balance, and agility
Word of the day
·Teamwork exercises
Character-building lessons
Healthy living habits

Parents Win!

Your time is important and so is your child. This innovative soccer education class is brought directly to your child's center. Therefore, it eases your busy schedule and eliminates transportation and traffic worries.

Class Structure:

We provide a half-hour structured class to different child-care centers and are open to the public at designated locations throughout Knoxville. Class begins with a warm-up. .After warm-up, our instructors lead the student in a skill of the week introduction (dribbling, passing, turning). Then, from there games based on the skill of the week which will be the word of the week. The class wraps up with a fun team scrimmage and prize time.

Clothing:

Non-binding everyday active wear is encouraged; T-shirts, shorts and sweat suits.
