Soccer Shots is held at childcare centers, preschools and schools, as well as public locations. Our public programs are open to the general public while our childcare center and school programs are only open to those enrolled at the location.

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.

Yes! We are always willing to start a public program near you. The easiest way for this to happen is for you to form a group of eight children willing to take part in a Soccer Shots season. These could be children from your neighborhood, 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 your local director for more information.

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 appreciation.

Soccer Shots attempts to make up all missed sessions during the course of a season. We will either add an additional week to the season or choose a make-up day.

In the case of inclement weather, Soccer Shots will notify you of any cancelations and make up sessions. We generally try to notify you of cancelations at least 2 hours before the start of the session.

We believe that every All-Star wakes up excited to play with us on Soccer Island, so Soccer Shots is always ON unless you hear from us. This means that we often wait to make a decision until close to class time, as the weather in Houston passes quickly and can be quite different from one part of the city to another. In the case of intermittent weather, our coach will arrive 30 minutes before class time to determine if the conditions are safe to play. If we need to cancel, you will receive a text and/or email. A quick primer on how we evaluate whether it’s a safe and fun environment for your All-Star: 1. We evaluate the playable condition of the surface on Soccer Island. Based on our city permits (which we acquire for every public location), we have some restrictions on where we can and cannot play. In the case of standing water or mud, we will attempt to move to another area in the park as long as it doesn’t interfere with other permitted groups. We also seek to maintain positive relationships with our city partners and consider what effect we will have on the play space beyond that day. 2. We evaluate the current atmospheric conditions – is it light rain or heavy rain? Are there thunderstorms nearby? What is the current temperature? Typically, light rain in warm weather = green light. Heavy rain or thunderstorms = red light. Clear skies in cold weather = green light. Any rain in cold weather = red light. 3. We look at the radar to evaluate future atmospheric conditions. Is the current weather continuing for a short time or for multiple hours? 4. Then, we make a decision and notify families ASAP if we have to cancel the fun for that day. In short, we always aim to deliver our program to your All-Stars, with a healthy dose of reason and rationality mixed in! We thank all our families in advance for understanding how tricky the weather can be!

At Childcare Centers, we coordinate those days with the school staff. They are typically in the 2 weeks after the last class date. At Weekday Public/Park locations, make-up classes are typically scheduled in the 2 weeks after the last class date. At Saturday Public/Park locations, make-up classes are typically scheduled on the Sunday after the last class date or the following Saturday.
