However, once your schedule is set with us, it won't change. You'll be at the same locations at the same times each week, and we need you to be committed for the entire season. Soccer Shots® is the #1 Children's Fitness Franchise in the country. Why? Aside from the incredible curriculum, leadership, and passion, it's because we only hire the best instructors to work with our children.
