Soccer Shots Reviews

My son looks forward to going every week. The games are fun, and he always comes home talking about his coach and what they played that day. The emails and receipts have been easy to keep track of too, which I appreciate. Overall, we’re really happy we signed him up.

My kids did like using it, so that part was nice. I just wish I had seen a bigger improvement in their skills. There was a little progress, but looking back, I was hoping it would make more of a difference.

I signed up thinking this would be a good way for my kid to meet other kids and make some friends, but it really didn’t turn out that way. The sessions felt rushed and were mostly focused on drills. The coaches did keep everyone active, which I get, but there was barely any time for the kids to chat, play together, or actually get to know each other. I felt a little misled because it wasn’t the experience I thought we were signing up for.

My kid really does enjoy Soccer Shots, and the coaches have all seemed friendly and good with the kids. That said, I do wish the safety side felt a little more organized. There are times when a bunch of kids are running all over the place and it doesn’t seem like there are enough adults keeping an eye on everyone. Nothing bad happened, thankfully, but I definitely caught myself standing there tense and worried instead of just enjoying it, which felt like wasted energy. Overall it’s a decent program, I just wish there was a bit more supervision so parents could feel more relaxed watching.

The kids did pick up some good lessons about sportsmanship, which I really appreciated. The teamwork drills were just kind of rushed, though. It might’ve been bad timing on our part, like maybe the schedule was packed that day, but it ended up feeling a little more “okay” than great.

My kid has been doing Soccer Shots for a while now, the facilities have been really solid. The fields are clean, they’re easy to get to, parking hasn’t been a headache, and there’s enough room for parents to stand or sit and watch without feeling crowded. The equipment has been good too, the cones aren’t all beat up, the little goals stay in place, the soccer balls look like they’re in decent shape, and everything just feels organized. It’s not some super fancy sports complex or anything, but for little kids running around, learning drills, kicking balls, chasing cones, taking water breaks, and doing all the fun games they do, it works really well. Most importantly, it feels safe and comfortable for the kids. We’ve had a really good experience so far.

My kid ended up missing a class because they were sick, setting up a makeup class was easier than I expected. There weren’t a million options or anything, but there were a few times and locations to choose from, so we were able to make it work without too much hassle.

I do wish the available spots showed up a little earlier sometimes. Like, everything was fine and then suddenly I’m refreshing and wondering if I missed my chance. But overall, the process was simple, and the coach was really nice about the whole thing.

I think we’ve been going for a few weeks now… or maybe it’s been over a month, I’ve lost track. Either way, our coach has been super patient and always keeps the kids smiling. My son actually listens to him too, which seriously says a lot lol.

Signing up went smoothly enough, but the billing details kind of threw me off. I ended up checking my card twice just to make sure everything was right. Why make that part more confusing than it needs to be?

We signed up for Soccer Shots thinking it would be a little more structured for what it costs, but it felt basic. The sessions were short, and there were times where the kids seemed to be standing around or repeating the same simple drills. My kid did have fun here and there, so it wasn’t a total miss, but overall it just didn’t feel like a great value. I feel like we could’ve gotten a similar experience at a park or through a cheaper local program. Probably wouldn’t sign up again.

Signing up was actually painless, which I wasn’t expecting. I liked being able to see all the class times before choosing one, and we found a Saturday morning slot that works around my son’s nap, which is usually the whole battle. We had to switch dates once too, and even that was simple, no endless emails or awkward phone calls, just handled it online. For once, a booking system didn’t make my life harder.

My kid has been doing Soccer Shots for a few months now, it’s been a good experience. The coaches are patient and do a nice job making sure every kid gets a turn, even the shy ones or the ones who need a bit more help, which I really appreciate. I also like that it’s not overly competitive, because believe it or not, not every preschool soccer class needs to feel like the World Cup. I’m giving 4 stars because some classes feel a little crowded, and it would be nice if there was a bit more space and attention to go around. But overall, it’s a sweet, inclusive program and my kid enjoys it

The classes themselves were fine and I don’t really have any complaints about the teaching. The main issue for me was the location. It was hard to get to without driving a long way, and realistically that’s something people need to think about before signing up. If you live nearby, it’s probably not a big deal, but for me the commute made it less convenient than I expected...

My kid really enjoys Soccer Shots, and most of the coaches have been great with him. The only thing is we’ve had a few coach changes, and I can tell he feels a little pressured having to adjust to someone new each time. It takes him a bit to warm up again. Overall though, it’s still been a good experience and he’s happy going.

My son was shy at the beginning, but after a few Soccer Shots classes, it helped him feel more comfortable trying new things. The coaches were kind and patient, which I really appreciated. Some of the sessions did feel a little rushed though, so I’d give it 3 stars overall

My kid lost interest quickly. The coach seemed nice enough, but there was just too much standing around and waiting, and not nearly enough actual playing. He didn’t feel very included, which felt preventable with a little more organization. After a few sessions, he didn’t want to go back. It just wasn’t worth it for us...

The coaches were friendly and patient, which I appreciated, but the lessons felt a little too basic for my 5-year-old. There was quite a bit of waiting around between turns, and some of the games felt like they were geared more toward younger kids. After a few weeks, he started getting bored, especially during the slower parts of class. I was hoping the curriculum would be a bit more age-matched and keep him more engaged.

We’ve had a good experience with Soccer Shots so far. I actually really appreciate the little reminders before each session, the emails and texts are easy to read, and when the week gets chaotic, that reminder popping up on my phone is genuinely helpful. I also like that the details are usually right there, like the time and where to be, so I’m not digging around at the last minute. The only reason I’m going with 4 stars is that sometimes updates about weather or schedule changes come a little later than I’d prefer. It hasn’t been a huge problem, but I do find myself checking the sky, refreshing my phone, and wondering if we should already be putting cleats on or not. A little more notice would make things smoother. That said, the coaches seem kind and patient, and my kid is happy to go every time, which matters most.

For us, Soccer Shots has been good about handling bad weather. I know it probably depends on the field and the forecast, but when things seem unsafe, they’ve canceled with enough notice instead of leaving everyone guessing. The makeup details have also been easy to understand, which I really appreciate when I’m trying to decide whether to drag my kid out in the rain.

The times changed a lot, nobody really explained it in a clear way. I get that schedules can change, but it feels only fair to keep people properly informed so they can plan around it...
