Harvey is a passionate individual with a unique blend of experience and interests. He embarked on his educational journey at Hofstra University, where he pursued his passion for sports and wellness by majoring in Athletic Training. During his time at Hofstra, he had the incredible opportunity to be a part of the college soccer team for two exciting years. Being on the field, working with his teammates, and pushing his boundaries were some of the most rewarding moments of his college life. But beyond the field and his academic pursuits, his heart lies in working with kids. Their boundless energy, curiosity, and potential never fail to inspire him.
Sterling Ross is a graduate of NYU Tisch’s acting program with a background in experimental theater. He brings this affinity for somatic and body-based work to Soccer Shots where, if you’re lucky, you may catch him on the field expertly coaching a class, although he can most often be found behind-the-scenes doing sales and operational work. In either role, Sterling’s calm yet fun-loving demeanor shines through, and is what makes him such an effective part of the Soccer Shots team. Sterling believes that positive role models, like those he had growing up playing soccer for FC Dallas, are crucial for holistic learning and character development in early childhood. He can’t wait to meet you out on the field!
Hey there Soccer Friends and Families! My name is Coach Jack! I am both the Coaching Coordinator and a Coach here at Soccer Shots NYC Central! I was actually in Soccer Shots when I was a kid way back in 2007 so I guess you could say I was always destined to come back! My favorite food is steak, my favorite color is jade green and my favorite soccer team is FC Bayern Munich! To me the best thing about coaching with Soccer Shots is getting to watch children grow in both soccer skills and personal development (and stamps...Coach Jack loves stamps)! I look forward to seeing you all on Soccer Island!
Most children when they are young want to be a fireman, policeman or doctor. Not me, from the time I was 5 years old, I knew what I wanted to do and that was to become a professional footballer. Throughout my many years I played against and with the likes of Tony Meola, Tab Ramos, Micheal Windischmann, all inducted into USA Soccer Hall of Fame. Also, counted Bouna Coundoul from NY Red Bulls as a teammate. My journeys with football (soccer) have taken me to France, Sweden, Spain, Germany and far-flung places such as Nepal. While I did not reach the heights of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I have gained something more valuable and that is friends and friendships that have lasted the test of time and for me infinitely more valuable than money. So, when I am asked how life is, my answer will always be the same. I would not change anything!

“and super instructors!“
“and Coach Leo is the best coach. He always tries to re-engage kids when their attention may be on something else or if they run off the field. He takes the time to make them feel welcome and comfortable.“
“So patient and sweet! They take the time to include every kid, work with their strengths and work on their weaknesses!“
“We’ve had three different coaches since we started Soccer Shots, and all of them have been great instructors, remembered the kids’ names, and did an excellent job getting all of the kids to participate. We’ve already recommended to several friends“
