Our weekly 30-40 minute sessions focus on basic soccer skills like dribbling, passing and shooting. Through fun games and positive reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active. We also highlight a positive character trait each session such as respect, teamwork and determination! It's fun! It's safe! It's learning! It's social! It's age appropriate!

Soccer Shots is held at Childcare Centers, Elementary Schools, and Public locations throughout the city of Philadelphia! Our public programs are open to all families and are designed to be local and convenient with a neighborhood vibe. Our school partnerships serve students who are members of the school at a particular location and these classes happen during the school day or directly before or after the school day.

Yes! We are always willing to start a public program near you or connect to your school. The easiest way for this to happen is for you to form a group of 6-10 children willing to take part in a Soccer Shots season. These could be children from your neighborhood, school, friends from church or synagogue, or your parent groups. We're happy to help talk through ideas on how to make this happen. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Soccer Shots provides all of the equipment needed at each of our sessions. Your child should wear activity-appropriate clothing. Cleats and shin guards are NOT necessary and many park spaces ask us not to encourage them for field preservation.

Summer Heat Index rules we follow: When the heat index is between 80-90 degrees, we play. When the heat index is between 90-105 degrees, we play and increase water/rest breaks during each session. When the heat index is 106 or above, we do not play. Winter Wind Chill rules we follow: When the wind-chill is below 25, we do not play. Rain rules we follow: We DO play in the light rain, but not in storms. Because we have locations throughout the greater Philadelphia area and our leadership team cannot be at every site at once, we rely on the weather forecasts from the National Weather Service and local news stations to make the call. Sometimes that works favorably, and sometimes it, unfortunately, does not. We will play in a passing shower, but if there is thunder and lightning, we will postpone at the first sound of thunder until 20 minutes after the last sound of thunder. If it is over 50 degrees with a light or passing shower, we may play in these conditions as long as the field is safe. This can be the most fun sessions of soccer for the whole season! We play in non-rainy/snowy conditions as long as the feel-like temperature is above 25 degrees.

We try our best to make a decision at least 90 minutes in advance of your class if we postpone due to weather. In the case of inclement weather, Soccer Shots will notify you of any postponements by text, email, and a post on social media. If you don’t hear from us on the day of class, expect that we are planning to play. Once coaches go to the field, they are given the ability to make a call from the field if the weather turns poor.

We schedule one makeup date into our permits for each season and use this in the case of inclement weather (rain, snow, or extreme heat or cold). If we have more than one inclement weather day, we will make every effort to offer additional value with longer sessions for the remainder of the season. We cannot guarantee additional days beyond our one rain make up date, but additional makeup classes may be held on a different day or time than the regularly scheduled class. If a makeup is postponed due to weather, it will not be rescheduled.

If your child is turning 2 within a month of the start of the season, we will say yes to joining the Mini as Mini starts with parent assistance at parks! If your child is turning 3 within a month of the start of the season and you wish to play Classic (for 3-4 yos), contact us to discuss the differences between Mini and Classic for your child's developmental readiness (parents are on the sideline for these classes). If your child is 4 and is ready for a lightly competitive class, we encourage you to try out Classic+ which emphasizes more scrimmage or match time within our class structure.

Soccer Shots Camden does not offer refunds. Account credits may be offered only if sessions are canceled due to federal, state or local governance limitations/restrictions. No compensation will be issued for failure to attend a makeup session or failure to attend a non-cancelled session. Credits will not be issued after the date of the final session. Again, refunds are not offered. If you feel that you have a situation that would warrant an exception, please contact us by email at [email protected]. There is no refund of the annual enrollment fee. If a policy exception is made, refunds will require a $15 refund processing fee.
