⚽️ Soccer Shots Fall Program- Registration Open for Ages 2-8

Teams Available for Multiple Age Groups and Neighborhoods in Our Area!

October 8, 2020



Do you have a child between the ages of 2-8 interested in soccer (or in the toddler/preschool age group, lots of energy to burn and the hope to make friends)? Soccer Shots of Boulder County is starting a 6-week fall program on Saturday, October 10!

Soccer Shots of Boulder County will be leading programs at nine different locations throughout Boulder County and Carbon Valley this fall. Soccer Shots is an engaging children's soccer program with a focus on character development for ages 2-8. Owner and Director of Operations Stephanie Seale describes the program: 


" One thing that sets us apart from most local rec programs is that we're not just an organization that takes volunteer parents and high school students, gives them a team and says "go play against the other team." We focus on individual gross motor skill development and character building, using full trained, professional coaches."


 The Minis (ages 2-3)  and Classics (ages 4-5) spend most of their time learning about teamwork and new skills, then play a short scrimmage at the end of each class with an emphasis on using the skill learned that day. True "team" soccer play (goalkeepers, throwins, corner kicks, etc) begins at Premier level (grades K-2).
