Programs
MINI
2 to 3 year olds
Soccer Shots Mini is a high-energy program
introducing children to fundamental soccer principles,
such as using your feet, dribbling, and the basic rules
of the game. Through fun games, songs, and positive
reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy
of playing soccer and being active.
CLASSIC
3 to 5 year olds (Pre-K)
For nearly 15 years, Soccer Shots has been introducing soccer
exclusively to children ages 3 to 5. Using creative and imaginative
games, weekly sessions focus on basic soccer skills like dribbling,
passing, and shooting. We also highlight a positive character trait
each session such as respect, teamwork, and appreciation. Soccer Shots
will expose your child to the fun of soccer and provide the foundation
needed to get started in the sport.
PREMIER
5 to 8 year olds (K-2nd)
This program is for children who are new to soccer or
who want to build upon what they have learned in Soccer Shots Classic.
Focusing on individual skill, fitness, and sportsmanship, each
session provides an opportunity for kids to be challenged through
fun games and team competitions. Children will also be introduced
to tactical elements of the game as they prepare to play on competitive teams.
Match-Based Program
In many parts of the country, Soccer Shots offers a
match-based program that allows children to continue
their soccer development with both practices and real
soccer games. For more information, check out your local
Soccer Shots website to see what programs are offered in your area.
