Soccer Shots is a standout youth program that introduces children between the ages of 2 and 8 to the game of soccer. Launched in 1997 by former college soccer teammates Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb, the initiative was born from a desire to offer high-quality soccer experiences tailored to young children, a niche that had been largely overlooked.
In 2005, Soccer Shots expanded its impact by franchising, with its first franchise locations opening across Ohio, Delaware, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The company has since grown significantly and now operates out of its headquarters near Harrisburg, in central Pennsylvania.
What sets Soccer Shots apart is its balanced focus on both athletic skills and personal development. The curriculum, designed by early childhood and soccer experts, blends basic techniques—such as passing, dribbling, and shooting—with core values like teamwork, respect, and gratitude.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Soccer Shots provides a detailed training structure for franchisees to ensure the effective launch and operation of their business. The training programs are as follows:
Soccer Shots offers franchisees a defined and protected territory, typically encompassing a population of approximately 500,000 people. The territory is established at the time of signing the franchise agreement and is described using natural or artificial geographic boundaries.
While Soccer Shots will not place another franchise or corporate-owned operation that solicits customers within the assigned territory, this does not grant the franchisee exclusive rights in the absolute sense.
Other franchisees may be allowed to reside or establish office locations within your territory as long as they do not market or sell services there. Soccer Shots retains the right to authorize others—including other franchisees or corporate personnel—to serve customers in your territory under specific conditions, such as if you decline service requests or fail to perform.
