As the year comes to an end, we’re looking back at what makes Soccer Shots so special, and it all starts with the children we serve every day on Soccer Island. Their laughter, high-fives, big kicks, and even bigger smiles are the reason we do what we do and why our mission to positively impact families across North America matters so much.
So before we say anything else, THANK YOU for being part of this amazing community and for trusting us with your children week after week and season after season. This has been an incredible year, and we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you.
This year was especially meaningful as we celebrated Soccer Shots’ 20th birthday. For two decades, families have chosen Soccer Shots to be part of their child’s journey – often their first experience in an organized activity. That’s why we focus on more than just the game. Through our developmentally appropriate curriculum and expert coaches, children build confidence, character, and a lifelong love of movement as they learn and grow through play.
Here’s a snapshot of what our families had to say about their Soccer Shots experience this year:
To honor our 20th birthday, we celebrated all year long. From monthly social media giveaways to gifting 20 families across North America a free season of Soccer Shots, we loved finding meaningful ways to celebrate with Soccer Shots families.
The celebration continued on July 26 and 27 during the biggest birthday party in Soccer Shots history – our National Free Fun Days. Communities came together nationwide to welcome new families, reconnect with returning ones, and enjoy two days filled with activities, games, and tons of FUN!
None of this would be possible without our dedicated coaches, partners, and communities. Together, you are the reason Soccer Shots continues to grow and thrive.
As we move into the year ahead, we’re excited to continue the celebration! With soccer stepping onto the global stage in 2026, we’re inspired to create even more meaningful experiences that bring children and families together through this beautiful game. Be on the lookout for what’s in store as we work toward some amazing goals together.
