Our program focuses on age-appropriate soccer skills, character development, and fun in every session. We work with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children up to 2nd Grade. Many children have their first experience with soccer or organized team sports activity with Soccer Shots, and we work hard to ensure each child's time on our field is positive and fun. Our sessions, led by our team of coaches, are high-energy and developmentally appropriate, using creative and engaging curriculum that aligns to early childhood education standards.

- "Love that it’s at school so that it’s not another thing we have to cram in before bed time during the week. Also love how it is tailored to the ages. My 3 year old now wants to play in a league thanks to this program!" Spring 2024
- "We all saw the changes in my son's soccer skills." Spring 2024
- "Our child loves the soccer program you have created -- she's learning lots of new skills that are things she can also use in everyday life." Fall 2023
- "I appreciate my daughter being able to participate at her daycare facility. She has also actually learned things. I played with her at our house and used my hands where she quickly told me we couldn’t use our hands.. only our feet." Fall 2023
