Why you like Soccer Shots-

"So many things! 1 - the amount of structure 2 - the focus on sportsmanship 3- the balance between fun/games and skill learning. I am the Recreation Director for Whitehall Borough and I have been involved in many sports clinics, both professionally and personally, as I have three children of my own and I have to say this one was - by far - the most impressive. Your instructor was fabulous with the children! At this age level it is such a challenge to keep kids focused and interested but she made it look simple. The program itself was well organized, structured and really taught the kids basic soccer skills they can build on in the future. My daughter and I absolutely loved it!" -Parent, Emma

“As a parent of two kids (5 and 3.5) in Soccer Shots, I would highly recommend the program and have done so with many other parents. We had our oldest play soccer with the YMCA last summer when she was 4 years old. The two experiences could not have been more different. The coach at the YMCA did not seem to understand the game, was inexperienced in coaching and seemed relatively uninterested in young kids. My daughter went to all the practices but she and the other kids had to be coaxed back onto the field by the parents. Soccer Shots has been great. The two coaches we’ve had (Emily and Ashley) are enthusiastic, know the game and make learning fundamentals fun. All the kids have their own ball and have a great time learning to dribble, trap the ball and shoot. Rarely do you see any of the kids coming outside of the playing area (unless they’re going to tell their parents how much fun they’re having). I would highly recommend having Soccer Shots provide a program.” -Chris

"My 4 year old son absolutely loves Coach Emily. He has learned so much from her - he's even been trying to teach his Grandpa how to play soccer! Emily has a great skill for working with young kids and her enthusiasm for the sport has turned our family into avid soccer fans. We're looking forward to another season with Coach Emily! Alex will be thrilled to hear she will be teaching again. Thank you for a great program!" -Jenny

"Coach Anthony, I just wanted to let you know that Coach Sam did a fantastic job with the children this season. Michael enjoyed every session and could not wait from week-to-week for Soccer Shots. He learned a lot from Coach Sam and will now be moving on to the Penns Forest Shrubs program. Please tell Coach Sam that she did a wonderful job. Thank you." -Rob

"Just wanted to let you know that Coach Mike is doing a fantastic job. We love the games you guys have the kids playing to develop the skills, and Mike does a great job getting them all excited and included, even in the RAIN! So many of my friends have their kiddos in "club" programs right now at this age group and the kids hate it! They are so not ready to play an actual "game" yet, and that's where they push them. Your program is so much better just encouraging the skills, the socialization, and the FUN! That's exactly what they should be doing at this age. Thanks again, we appreciate it, and will choose your program over a "club" program anyday." -Melanie

“My son Keaton absolutely loved the soccer shots program and I would refer it to anyone. He really knows the basic skills of soccer now. I wish this program was available when my other son was younger because he would have enjoyed soccer so much more by understanding the game. He was in the YMCA program and was lost with how to play. I would recommend soccer shots to any child before signing up on an actual team. What a difference!!!! Thanks so much." -Mary
 
“We signed Grace up for a 7 week course in Introduction to Soccer! It's like joining a team only no hassle of going to a cold field for practice and then running around to games on Saturdays. It's at her preschool, before class, so it's really nice. She absolutely enjoyed it!!” -Parent of participant

"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

"I just wanted to say that my son LOVED Soccer Shots. The instructor did a great job… Thank you so much!" -Laurel

"He loves it. He talks about the moves he learns and demonstrates to us each move and what the move is called. The lessons are great for the kids and they get involved and feel involved." –Parent of participant

"Our son looks forward to Wednesdays when he knows he will have Soccer Shots. He has demonstrated to us at home some of the skills learned and proudly wears his shirt. As soon as it gets washed he uses it again!" –Parent of participant

"My son looked forward to his "soccer days" at school every week. I am very glad I enrolled him in Soccer Shots; it has built his self-esteem greatly." -Mary

“BTW: I don't know how you got him interested in this, but we are delighted. He has taken soccer twice before and hated it. The last time he was so miserable that I told him he never had to take soccer again. Imagine my surprise when he asked me to sign him up!”  —Mary Beth
