Testimonials

"We have really enjoyed the soccer classes this summer. The coach has been great. I can honestly say I do not have one negative thing to say. It has been a blast! The coach makes it fun for the kids, she remembers their names, and keeps everyone on track. She is always positive, and keeps everyone’s attention. All the parents I have talked to have had nothing but positive things to say." - Christine, Mother of 4-year-old son

“Soccer Shots has been a wonderful organization to work with and has made soccer such a fun and positive experience for our students. We love that competitiveness is not the emphasis but rather teamwork and just simply having fun! The parents love that Soccer Shots comes to the school, which eliminates having to drive around town to another location at some other time. The children love that they are able to participate with their school friends while learning the fundamentals of the game.” - Meg Gulgren, Director of Heart Centered Montessori School in West Linn

“Soccer Shots at the park has become the activity my 3 year old son looks forward to every week. He’s naturally competitive, but at Soccer Shots he’s learning more than just the skills of the game – he’s learning how to be part of a team. Now, even when his “opponent” scores, he cheers and gives a high-five. At each class I’m also impressed with the coach’s ability to maintain the interest of ten 3-5 year olds. They have fun, they are engaged and it’s amazing that at the end of 8 weeks, they are playing a real soccer game with passes and goals. It’s a great program that is teaching my son how to encourage his friends, be a good sportsman, and the art of teamwork in addition to the game of soccer.” - Anna, mom of 3 ½ year-old, NE Portland

"Noah had a blast and is especially enjoying his medal. He really retained a lot of information and was so excited each week. Coach Josh did a great job. He had a nice gentle way with the kids and really made it fun." -Karin

"I was very surprised when, after only one day of Soccer Shots, he "taught" me how to dribble. The following week he showed me, as he put it, "the coolest trick ever" and put his foot on top of the ball, then quickly kicked it backwards. So, this note is to say thank you to Soccer Shots and Primrose for the soccer program. My son looks forward to Friday every week." -John
