I have greatly enjoyed being able to play the sport I love with kids and form bonds with them through activity and games!
Hello, I’m Coach Grace and I am from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I played softball collegiately at Grace College where I pursued a degree in Sports Management and a Minor in Sports Psychology. While attending Grace College I took a class trip to see what Soccer Shots was and how they worked. There I fell in love with the way Soccer Shots helps kids grow not only in the sport but also in their life skills. I enjoy creating new friendships each season and watching the new generation of soccer players start their soccer journey.
Hi, I’m Coach Keirsten -my love for children’s learning, curiosity and silly comments led me to get a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. I’ve played soccer from a very young age, though it doesn’t always show on Soccer Island, thus my love for soccer combined with my love of learning led me to Soccer Shots. I love seeing kiddos experience the fun of soccer from such early ages just like I had. Can’t wait to meet you on Soccer Island!

“and super instructors!“
“and Coach Leo is the best coach. He always tries to re-engage kids when their attention may be on something else or if they run off the field. He takes the time to make them feel welcome and comfortable.“
“So patient and sweet! They take the time to include every kid, work with their strengths and work on their weaknesses!“
“We’ve had three different coaches since we started Soccer Shots, and all of them have been great instructors, remembered the kids’ names, and did an excellent job getting all of the kids to participate. We’ve already recommended to several friends“
