Super Soccer Stars is a leading youth soccer development franchise, founded in 2000 by Gustavo Szulansky in New York City. It is headquartered at 606 Columbus Avenue, New York, NY.
The company began franchising in 2022 under its parent brand, Youth Athletes United. Super Soccer Stars delivers age-appropriate soccer programs focused on skill development, confidence, and physical fitness for children aged 12 months to 18 years.
The franchise offers a unique "Crib-to-College" player pathway. Programs start with "Parent & Me" classes for toddlers, followed by Super Soccer Stars classes for ages 3 to 12, and advance to Soccer Stars United Development and Travel programs.
What sets Super Soccer Stars apart is its mobile, curriculum-based approach. Classes can be held in parks, schools, and community centers, allowing franchisees to operate with low overhead and high flexibility.
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.
Super Soccer Stars offers a comprehensive suite of training programs designed to prepare franchisees and their team for efficient business operations. The programs vary based on the franchisee’s experience and needs, and may be delivered in-person or via web-based formats.
Super Soccer Stars provides franchisees with a defined territory, typically covering up to 400,000 people. However, the territory is not exclusive, and the franchisor may grant other franchises or operate company-owned units outside the territory.
Within the territory, the franchisor agrees not to establish another Soccer Stars business under the same brand, provided the franchisee complies with the agreement. Still, the franchisor retains the right to use other trademarks, co-brand, or sell through alternate channels like national retailers within the same area.
