Founded in 2000 in New York City, Soccer Stars has grown into the country's largest corporately run youth soccer program. Our mission is to positively impact kids through Soccer. The primary goal is to have fun while teaching the fundamentals of the sport. We use the soccer ball as a vehicle to help children improve their soccer skills while at the same time building self-confidence, enhancing gross motor skills, honing socialization skills, and developing physical literacy. Dynamic coaches work with small groups of boys and girls ages 1 year – 18 years old to develop these skills and teamwork in a fun, non-competitive, educational 40 – 60-minute class-based environment. Soccer Stars operates in over 25 states reaching over 125,000 children each year.
After 20+ years of success, establishing proven systems along the way, Soccer Stars is now franchising and ready to positively impact communities all across the country. The brand continues to have strong unit economics in licensed and corporate locations across 13 states with low start-up costs, 20+ years of curriculum and systems, strong leadership, and operational excellence.
Soccer Stars has revenue streams across multiple channels including pre-schools, daycares, elementary schools, parks & rec programs, soccer clubs, private groups, birthdays and more. We offer multiple program types to suit all ages: Soccer Stars Parent & Me (ages 1-2), Super Soccer Stars (ages 2-10), Soccer Stars United development and travel programs (ages 5-18), Shining Soccer Stars developed for children with disabilities (ages 2-14) with revenue driven primarily through enrollments and merchandise.
