My child had a great experience and learned some important concepts like respect, confidence and determination in this soccer team. The coaches were very good and friendly. If you are looking for a good soccer team for a child, I would strongly recommend this one! read more

So dissappointed i had register for a wait list for my child and i was looking forward to have him be part of this. I called a month before the new session started and have no receive no call back not even to enroll him to another time and location. So dissappointed now i am looking for other locations read more

My son went to his first Soccer Shots session on his second birthday. He and some of the other 2-year-olds were pretty reluctant at first and didn't want to do what this strange man was telling them to do. But Coach Jordan was fantastic and the "schtick" he did throughout the session (which I assume is Soccer Shots standard) really helped all the children laugh and get comfortable and learn. From jumping back at every kid's high five ("woah! you're so strong!") to having the ball bag "eat" the soccer balls, the whole session was as entertaining as it was good soccer practice, and at this age the entertainment is crucial. Very, very good! read more

It was my first time taking my little one after the pandemic especially because he hadn't really socialized with other kids and this was a great start now hes in his second season this fall and he loves it! read more

Our daughter is loving soccer with Soccer Shots at her preschool. Her teacher is great at teaching soccer skills through age appropriate games and I love how he teaches character building vocabulary each session, like integrity, and leadership. I highly recommend. read more

I have both my two year old daughter and four year son in soccer shots and they love it! This was their first time playing soccer and I was a little wore about how my two year old daughter would react but she loved it. The coaches are patient and great with the kids, teaching them the basics in a fun way which emphasizes good sportsmanship and respect which are such important tenets in all sports. In between the seasons, both my kids kept asking when they were going to get to back to soccer which is the best endorsement in my mind. read more

We have been working with this organization for about 5 years now and I cannot say enough about what fun and educational experiences this brings to our students. Coach John who is also the Assistant Director is so organized and positive! He always ALWAYS has a smile on his face and an energy to get every child excited for soccer. I highly recommend this program! read more

Coach Jake is excellent and works hard to keep the class moving along. We've tried several classes in the area and this one was by far the best. I wish it was a bit more structured but part of the problem is that parent's do not watch their children and the coach often has to go off and deal with one or two kids not paying attention which means that the kids that are paying attention are no longer getting attention and become bored or wander off. As a former coach myself what I have always found is that you have to keep things moving without distractions so that the coach feels good about the support he gets from us and the children learn, if not get worn out a bit! Thanks for you're hard work coach Jake! read more

Great coaches! The kids really liked it. We hit a rainy season, so a lot of classes got canceled and the 12pm start time didn't well well fit a 2 year old class. read more

Our son wasn't sure he'd want to play, but his coaches got him up and moving and really excited about soccer. His coordination has improved during the time with them, and he looks forward to his soccer shots classes. read more

Soccer Shots has been a great experience so far for our 3 year old. The coach is fun and entertaining for the kids and keeps them all involved and active. Plus doing it outside is great compared to some alternatives. Our son is having a great time and looks forward to it every weekend. read more

My daughter has been doing Soccer Shots for a few seasons, and my son just started. The program is excellent for us. The location is perfect for us, and the times they offer fit our schedule. We LOVE Coach Jon Bartley. He is amazing with kids. He learns all of the kids names in all of his classes immediately. He's great at making soccer fun for kids, and adjusting his style to their age, whether the kids are 2 or 6. He's sensitive to anyone who may need some pushing or anyone who gets hurt. He's a good motivator to all the kids. We also loved Coach Jake, who was an assistant coach to Jon now but is his own head coach now, but we thought the duo of Jon and Jake were the best and most fun out of all the classes. read more

super great way to get kids playing futbol. My 6-year-old tried another soccer class but it was very competitive and the kids were encouraged to be aggressive. Talk about a sure fire way to turn off a lot of kids. Jose is a great instructor. he keeps it fun but somehow the kids are learning. They are not obsessed with the technical stuff and rather than drilling technique they always play a long game which is what it's all about. Strongly recommended. read more

Great soccer club for young ones -- my 5 year old daughter had a great time, even though soccer isn't her sport of choice. Coach Jon in particular is AMAZING. Have tried other places (Mersey, etc) but none are as good as Soccer Shots. Cordonices is a great location too. Planning to enroll my son when he's old enough! read more

My daughter participates at her preschool. I've been very impressed by the well thought out lesson plans that incorporate imagination as they introduce soccer terms and concepts to the kids. read more

Great program which my son goes to both at his preschool and also outside of school. The coaches are patient, engaged and work with the kids on basic skills needed to play soccer. read more

My kids started doing Soccer Shots at age 3 through their pre-school and just finished a week long summer camp through Piedmont Rec. They love Coach Raul - he and the other coaches make learning and playing soccer so much fun. My oldest is now doing a competitive travel league and I attribute her love of soccer to this great program. read more

My son loved soccer classes, and had a great time! He looked forward to classes each week, and his coaches were helpful and fun!

The coaches are great and I would recommend Soccer Shots to anyone looking to introduce their kids to the game of soccer.

My daughter loves soccer shots. The teachers are always positive. Love the shirts too.

My 6-yo daughter has now had three sets of Soccer Shots lessons. She loves it and so do I. The coaches really foster an inclusive, positive atmosphere and do a great job engaging the kids and keeping them focused -- no small feat when you're talking about 10 kids and as many balls outside in the sunshine! She has also progressed in her skills, as they actually do manage to practice things like ball control and passing all in this atmosphere of play. It's the perfect introduction to team sports. Also, Coach Jon is AWESOME. Just the most energetic, cheerful, sweet person ever ... he is SO GREAT with the kids. Coach Alsay (sorry if I am spelling his name wrong) is also wonderful -- he's so funny, and really gets the kids moving! read more

Soccer shots was a great experience for us. My daughter enjoyed the training time a lot, it was fun and engaging. Lots of energy goes into the training, all the kids seem to have a blast every time. read more

Really committed and enthusiastic coaches. My daughter wasn't super into soccer and they did everything they could to get her interested. I'd be thrilled to be back with soccer shots in the future. They also come into the schools and camps and every experience with them is positive, a great resource for kids and local soccer. read more

My kids LOVE soccer shots. We attended soccer shots by Lake Merritt in Oakland when kids were ages 3-5. Great program. Loved all the coaches we got and my two still have their soccer shots medals hanging in their rooms. read more

Coach Ken is great! My 6 year old has his soccer class right after school once a week. Ken teaches them skills but most importantly makes it fun. read more

my son loves his time with soccer shots. The fact that they are at the school and work with the kids there is great. Morning is awesome too, as then the kids will nap. My only disappointment is that we have to pay for them being there and for the soccer.... read more

My 8yo daughter participated in Soccer Shots through her school. There is much going on afterschool, except homework club and free play, so Soccer Shots helped provide some focused time to build motor skills and help her learn a new skill. She loves it! Although she is not on a soccer team, whenever she plays with other players, they tell her she is "really" good. read more

By far the best soccer class / coaches for younger kids. We've been with soccer shots (and coach Jon) for almost 5 years now. Our son and daughter just love it. All the coaches make it super fun and exciting for the kids. read more

Great program and great staff. My daughter's coach (John) is fantastic, so good with all the kids (with all their different personalities), and a great teacher, and funny too. My daughter really enjoys every season with Soccer Shots! I really appreciate the fact they come to her preschool, since we work full time. Very high quality program, my daughter LOVES it! read more

Coach John is amazing! He definitely has a following among the parents. Many of us are amazed at how well he is able to maintain the balance of fun and discipline with kids as young as 2. All that and he actually knows soccer and is able to teach skills through fun activities. We will be so sad when our kids age out. read more

Highly recommend. While my son didn't actually participate (more like standing around in the middle of the field), it was run great, and the coaches had great energy. read more
