FAQs
We have put together some most commonly asked questions to provide more information about us.
Our mission is to empower kids through soccer and sports by teaching them how to have fun while learning the fundamentals. We use soccer to nurture, build self-confidence, and develop teamwork in a positive environment.
There are several aspects of Soccer Stars that makes our program unique and stand out from other youth sport providers:
– Low kid-to-coach ratio. This allows each player to receive individual attention during class and advance at their own pace.
– Age-specific curriculum. Some programs tout this feature but then group multiple age groups together during the early childhood classes. This is not the Soccer Stars way. In our youngest classes, your child will play with other children who are within 1 year of their own age and have specific lesson plans built to their developmental needs. Our older players will also enjoy playing with other children of a similar age during their classes.
– Crib-to-College Player Pathway. Starting with our Parent & Me classes at the age of 12mo+ and leading to our high school travel teams, Soccer Stars can support your player at every stage of their soccer journey. Here is what our player pathway looks like:
> Parent & Me – Ages 12mo to 3
> Super Soccer Stars – Ages 3 to 12
> Soccer Stars United Development – U5 to U12
> Soccer Stars United Travel – U8 to U18
– Highly trained and certified coaches, with ongoing training. We employ the best youth soccer coaches in the country. What makes our team so great is our ongoing coach training and certification. Each season, every coach is reviewed multiple times by our Coaching Department to make sure all coaches are up to date with the latest trends and information. We also incentivize our coaches to reach higher levels of coach status within the company, through specific goal-setting and national certifications.
Absolutely not. Whether a beginner or ready for competitive play, Soccer Stars has a program that is appropriate for your child. Many of our program ages overlap so that you and your child can be comfortable with the level of play during your session. Here is an overview of our program offerings:
> Parent & Me – Ages 12mo to 3: A pre-soccer music and movement program for toddlers ages 1-2. This fun-filled class – taught by experienced instructors and their puppet friends, Mimi and Pepe – focuses on balance, coordination, upper and lower-body exercises, cognitive skills, and more.
> Super Soccer Stars – Ages 3 to 12: The classic youth soccer program that teaches the fundamentals of the sport in a fun, non-competitive, educational environment. Our unique curricula use positive reinforcement and a low child-to-coach ratio to make sure each child feels supported and confident in his or her own abilities, allowing kids to improve at their own rate.
> Soccer Stars United Development – U5 to U12: Development is the natural continuation and advanced program of Super Soccer Stars. Players are gradually introduced to new technical skills, tactical elements, and team concepts as they improve soccer skills and reach program milestones.
> Soccer Stars United Travel – U8 to U18: A soccer program unlike any other, with a philosophy centered on providing a nurturing yet challenging environment that encourages every player to express themselves, be creative and take educated risks on the field. The program focuses on developing character, communication, game insight, technique, and fitness skills.
Soccer Stars offers a truly crib-to-college player pathway starting with our Parent & Me program for ages 1-3 years old, Super Soccer Stars for ages 3-12 years old, and Soccer Stars United Development and Travel programs for ages U5-U18.

Soccer Ball – Any round ball, rolled up pair of socks, paper & tape ball
Tall Cone – water bottle, plastic cups, lego tower
Flat Cone – plastic bowl, small pillow, folded towel
Spots – Paper plate, shirt, piece of paper

Soccer Stars United has a dual philosophy; fostering a lifelong passion for the game of soccer while maintaining a specific focus on player development. We create an environment where players can learn, develop and fall in love with game of soccer regardless of their skill-level. Whilst we challenge players, our coaches create an environment that is FUN, making players want to return.
Soccer Stars United focuses on developing key individual 1v1 techniques, improving players’ employment of skills at speed, and developing the confidence to unlock each player’s true potential. We understand that player development is not an exact science and can be messy.
Players develop at different speeds – we take into account emotional, cognitive and physical development.
– Low player-to-coach ratio. This allows each player to receive individual attention during class and advance at their own pace.
– Developmentally appropriate curriculum. Our coaches meet players where they are. We do not have a one-size fits all approach. Having evaluated areas of growth for each player, we challenge players and get them outside their comfort zone.
– Highly trained and certified coaches, with ongoing training. We employ the best youth soccer coaches in the country. What makes our team so great is our ongoing coach training and certification. Each season, every coach is reviewed multiple times by our Coaching Department to make sure all coaches are up to date with the latest trends and information. We also incentivize our coaches to reach higher levels of coach status within the company, through specific goal-setting and national certifications.
We can work with 1 player for a 1-on-1 session, and have up to a maximum of 10 players in each group.
Yes – we can tailor sessions to focus on specific areas of the game. For example; goal scoring, attacking, midfield play, ball mastery, defending etc
Yes we do.
In order for the experience to be as beneficial as possible for each player, we expect that participants have some prior experience of soccer. This does not mean they have to have a certain skill level, only that they are a total beginner.
We work with girls and boys from aged 4 and up.
Each session is 60 minutes. We can extend if the coach feels it is developmentally appropriate.
Session 1 will be used to evaluate the skill-level of each player and the group as a whole. Following the 1st session, the coach will design an appropriate development plan.
We ask that players bring a ball, shin guards and water.
Yes – there will be an opportunity to play games; however these will be small-sided to maximize touches on the ball and involvement. Our philosophy is that players learn best through playing the game.
Consistency is important in a player’s level of comfort and development from week to week. As such, we strive to maintain the same coach every week; however, there are instances when a coach will have to be substituted due to scheduling conflicts or other personal requests.
For ages 13 and below, we ask that at least 1 caregiver stays in the vicinity of the field. We ask that parents do not stand next to the training session as this often pressurizes the players and increases anxiety. We want players free to make mistakes and open to learning from them – having a parent present can limit a player’s willingness to express themselves.

Scrimmage Games is an opportunity for players to come and just play soccer. We feel the game is the best coach and Scrimmage Games allows players to practice the skills they have been learning in our Super Soccer Stars classes.
We play 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 to allow maximum touches on the ball and more goals. Our professional coaches oversee games, however they keep coaching instructions to a minimum. Using teaching moments in the game, coaches use discovery questions to help players develop. This is an opportunity for players to just play the game and have fun. As well as soccer development, our coaches strive to educate players on the power of always working hard, getting outside their comfort zone, being coachable, humility, playing with class and being a good teammate.
We offer Scrimmage Games for ages 4-12.
All levels are welcome to participate.
Total Duration is 75 minutes — this is broken down in 15 minutes skill warm-up and then games of 15 minutes. There will be time for players to take a break over the 75 min session.
Players should bring a ball and a water bottle. We provide each player with 2 x pinnies.
No we do not keep track of the scoreline. As soccer educators we know that the scoreline does not tell the full story – a team can win and play badly. Moreover we encourage players to try new skills, express themselves, work hard and learn from mistakes. Even though we are not keeping score, our coaches will challenge players to be the best they can be.
Yes! We offer a year round program of age-appropriate, curriculm based skill classes. Players are encouraged to work on their skills in a class with one of our professional coaches and then try to use them in the Scrimmage Games matches.
At present we only offer a coed option.

It will be for 5% off the class price for every enrolled child in your family. Discount is not applicable for monthly billing.
Due to the nature of our age-specific program, there may be instances where your child might fall between 2 different age groups, especially during the early childhood ages of 3-6. Our program focuses on certain developmental milestones, not necessarily the size and height of the child, to determine class placement. While we generally suggest enrolling in the earlier age group within the overlap for new players, our coaches can evaluate your child and make recommendations and help facilitate if moving up to the next age group would be appropriate.
If a program displays “Save My Spot” or ” Join Waitlist”, that means that particular class spots are full, but a spot may open up. Because the waiting list is first-come, first-serve, we highly recommend that you complete the waiting list registration form to reserve a spot in case of an opening. There is no obligation and you will not pay for the registration at that time. If a spot opens up, you will be contacted and full payment will be expected to secure your spot.

It is common for many children to have a “warming up” period when starting a new class or with a new coach. If your child is having any issues, please communicate with us and we will do everything in our power to help with their adjustment. Sometimes it might be as simple as making the coach aware so they can provide some extra attention.

Most importantly, your child should be comfortable. Seasonally appropriate athletic wear is recommended, with secure footwear required (lace-up or velcro – nothing that will slip off their feet or that has exposed toes). If a shirt or jersey was included with your enrollment, we also recommend you wear it to class each week. Children are asked to bring a water bottle to class as well.

Our mission is to empower kids through soccer and sports by teaching them how to have fun while learning the fundamentals. We use soccer to nurture, build self-confidence, and develop teamwork in a positive environment.
There are several aspects of Soccer Stars that makes our program unique and stand out from other youth sport providers:
– Low kid-to-coach ratio. This allows each player to receive individual attention during class and advance at their own pace.
– Age-specific curriculum. Some programs tout this feature but then group multiple age groups together during the early childhood classes. This is not the Soccer Stars way. In our youngest classes, your child will play with other children who are within 1 year of their own age and have specific lesson plans built to their developmental needs. Our older players will also enjoy playing with other children of a similar age during their classes.
– Crib-to-College Player Pathway. Starting with our Parent & Me classes at the age of 12mo+ and leading to our high school travel teams, Soccer Stars can support your player at every stage of their soccer journey. Here is what our player pathway looks like:
> Parent & Me – Ages 12mo to 3
> Super Soccer Stars – Ages 3 to 12
> Soccer Stars United Development – U5 to U12
> Soccer Stars United Travel – U8 to U18
– Highly trained and certified coaches, with ongoing training. We employ the best youth soccer coaches in the country. What makes our team so great is our ongoing coach training and certification. Each season, every coach is reviewed multiple times by our Coaching Department to make sure all coaches are up to date with the latest trends and information. We also incentivize our coaches to reach higher levels of coach status within the company, through specific goal-setting and national certifications.
Absolutely not. Whether a beginner or ready for competitive play, Soccer Stars has a program that is appropriate for your child. Many of our program ages overlap so that you and your child can be comfortable with the level of play during your session. Here is an overview of our program offerings:
> Parent & Me – Ages 12mo to 3: A pre-soccer music and movement program for toddlers ages 1-2. This fun-filled class – taught by experienced instructors and their puppet friends, Mimi and Pepe – focuses on balance, coordination, upper and lower-body exercises, cognitive skills, and more.
> Super Soccer Stars – Ages 3 to 12: The classic youth soccer program that teaches the fundamentals of the sport in a fun, non-competitive, educational environment. Our unique curricula use positive reinforcement and a low child-to-coach ratio to make sure each child feels supported and confident in his or her own abilities, allowing kids to improve at their own rate.
> Soccer Stars United Development – U5 to U12: Development is the natural continuation and advanced program of Super Soccer Stars. Players are gradually introduced to new technical skills, tactical elements, and team concepts as they improve soccer skills and reach program milestones.
> Soccer Stars United Travel – U8 to U18: A soccer program unlike any other, with a philosophy centered on providing a nurturing yet challenging environment that encourages every player to express themselves, be creative and take educated risks on the field. The program focuses on developing character, communication, game insight, technique, and fitness skills.
Soccer Stars offers a truly crib-to-college player pathway starting with our Parent & Me program for ages 1-3 years old, Super Soccer Stars for ages 3-12 years old, and Soccer Stars United Development and Travel programs for ages U5-U18.
Class Time Lengths based on Age Range:
>Ages 12mo to 3: 40 minutes
>Ages 3 to 4: 45 minutes
>Ages 4 to 5: 50 Minutes
>Ages 5 to 12+: 60 Minutes

Soccer Stars United has a dual philosophy; fostering a lifelong passion for the game of soccer while maintaining a specific focus on player development. We create an environment where players can learn, develop and fall in love with game of soccer regardless of their skill-level. Whilst we challenge players, our coaches create an environment that is FUN, making players want to return.
Soccer Stars United focuses on developing key individual 1v1 techniques, improving players’ employment of skills at speed, and developing the confidence to unlock each player’s true potential. We understand that player development is not an exact science and can be messy.
Players develop at different speeds – we take into account emotional, cognitive and physical development.
– Low player-to-coach ratio. This allows each player to receive individual attention during class and advance at their own pace.
– Developmentally appropriate curriculum. Our coaches meet players where they are. We do not have a one-size fits all approach. Having evaluated areas of growth for each player, we challenge players and get them outside their comfort zone.
– Highly trained and certified coaches, with ongoing training. We employ the best youth soccer coaches in the country. What makes our team so great is our ongoing coach training and certification. Each season, every coach is reviewed multiple times by our Coaching Department to make sure all coaches are up to date with the latest trends and information. We also incentivize our coaches to reach higher levels of coach status within the company, through specific goal-setting and national certifications.
We can work with 1 player for a 1-on-1 session, and have up to a maximum of 10 players in each group.
Yes – we can tailor sessions to focus on specific areas of the game. For example; goal scoring, attacking, midfield play, ball mastery, defending etc
Yes we do.
In order for the experience to be as beneficial as possible for each player, we expect that participants have some prior experience of soccer. This does not mean they have to have a certain skill level, only that they are a total beginner.
We work with girls and boys from aged 4 and up.
Each session is 60 minutes. We can extend if the coach feels it is developmentally appropriate.
Session 1 will be used to evaluate the skill-level of each player and the group as a whole. Following the 1st session, the coach will design an appropriate development plan.
We ask that players bring a ball, shin guards and water.
Yes – there will be an opportunity to play games; however these will be small-sided to maximize touches on the ball and involvement. Our philosophy is that players learn best through playing the game.
Consistency is important in a player’s level of comfort and development from week to week. As such, we strive to maintain the same coach every week; however, there are instances when a coach will have to be substituted due to scheduling conflicts or other personal requests.
For ages 13 and below, we ask that at least 1 caregiver stays in the vicinity of the field. We ask that parents do not stand next to the training session as this often pressurizes the players and increases anxiety. We want players free to make mistakes and open to learning from them – having a parent present can limit a player’s willingness to express themselves.
Yes! Depending on your region, our Soccer Stars United program offers both a development program and a competitive travel program. Learn More about

Scrimmage Games is an opportunity for players to come and just play soccer. We feel the game is the best coach and Scrimmage Games allows players to practice the skills they have been learning in our Super Soccer Stars classes. We play 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4 to allow maximum touches on the ball and more goals. Our professional coaches oversee games, however they keep coaching instructions to a minimum. Using teaching moments in the game, coaches use discovery questions to help players develop. This is an opportunity for players to just play the game and have fun. As well as soccer development, our coaches strive to educate players on the power of always working hard, getting outside their comfort zone, being coachable, humility, playing with class and being a good teammate. We offer Scrimmage Games for ages 4-12. All levels are welcome to participate. Total Duration is 75 minutes — this is broken down in 15 minutes skill warm-up and then games of 15 minutes. There will be time for players to take a break over the 75 min session. Players should bring a ball and a water bottle. We provide each player with 2 x pinnies. No we do not keep track of the scoreline. As soccer educators we know that the scoreline does not tell the full story – a team can win and play badly. Moreover we encourage players to try new skills, express themselves, work hard and learn from mistakes. Even though we are not keeping score, our coaches will challenge players to be the best they can be. Yes! We offer a year round program of age-appropriate, curriculm based skill classes. Players are encouraged to work on their skills in a class with one of our professional coaches and then try to use them in the Scrimmage Games matches. At present we only offer a coed option.

Try plugging your phone in with a USB cable. You can mirror your device to your TV using a compatible HDMI cable (the cable must have lightning or USB, and HDMI components).

Mirror your screen using Airplay. For Android – cast your phone’s screen through the Google Home app. For iOS – you can use a third-party app, such as Streamer for Chromecast, to cast your phone screen to your TV. Go to the “Settings” tab on your Firestick and move to “Display & Sounds” tab In the “Display & Sounds” tab, scroll down to “Enable Display Mirroring” Click on “Enable Display Mirroring” to make your Firestick ready to accept casting through other devices.

Once a connection is established, you can see your mobile screen on your TV and control it from your phone or tablet. Lessons are run with small spaces in mind – a 5×5 ft area is all you need. You bet! Your child will work with the same coach each class. Having the same coach allows for better skill development with the child and provide feedback for the parents as the child progresses in the program. When registering for your Soccer Stars @HOME Virtual Class you will get to see which coach is teaching each class time. No, the class is recorded during the session, so children can review sessions afterward. These recorded sessions can serve as refreshers or for children to go back and do the class again or become on-demand content for those who did not attend the class in the first place. All of our Zoom links are part of the enterprise version and are only sent to the parents enrolled in the class. We have a Host coach and a Co-Host that administers the sessions. Anyone entering a class is put into a waiting room until, the host coach and co-host admit them. The co-host is there to manage the video feed, so they stop streaming, mute, or remove any person that is behaving inappropriately. We will lock the class after 10 minutes of the start time.

Backyard Games can be played outdoors OR indoors! We’ve created each game with a small playspace in mind, so if you don’t have access to an outdoor space, you can still enjoy games from the safety and comfort of your home. We’ve partnered with HomeCourt so players can train in an interactive soccer app that takes your skills to the next level. It’s the personal skills trainer that’s always with you, capturing your performance, and providing you with guided feedback. HomeCourt’s mobile AI works in a wide variety of conditions, indoors and outdoors. For the most accurate camera recognition, play in a well lit environment with only 1 soccer player. Mount your device to a tripod low to the ground, tilted upward so your full body is in view. Your movements will be tracked by the front-facing camera: be sure that you can see your feet and soccer ball clearly on the screen. No tripod? Just rest your device on the ground, leaning against an object or wall for back support. While recording, tap on the volume icon on the top left to make sure volume is turned on. To customize your audio feedback, tap on the settings or Shot Science icon on the bottom left while recording. Select Makes, Attempts, Accuracy, or In A Row to hear those categories. HomeCourt is completely free to use and requires no sensors, special cameras, or so called “smart” balls. All you need is a soccer ball and an iPhone or iPad. HomeCourt currently is not available on Android Devices. The HomeCourt team plans to bring their App to Android at some point but do not have a set timeline. Please fill out this quick survey to be notified when HomeCourt has arrived on Android.

Discount is not applicable for monthly billing. Due to the nature of our age-specific program, there may be instances where your child might fall between 2 different age groups, especially during the early childhood ages of 3-6. Our program focuses on certain developmental milestones, not necessarily the size and height of the child, to determine class placement. While we generally suggest enrolling in the earlier age group within the overlap for new players, our coaches can evaluate your child and make recommendations and help facilitate if moving up to the next age group would be appropriate. If a program displays “Save My Spot” or ” Join Waitlist”, that means that particular class spots are full, but a spot may open up. Because the waiting list is first-come, first-serve, we highly recommend that you complete the waiting list registration form to reserve a spot in case of an opening. There is no obligation and you will not pay for the registration at that time. If a spot opens up, you will be contacted and full payment will be expected to secure your spot.

The Customer Advocacy Team will be available to assist. It is common for many children to have a “warming up” period when starting a new class or with a new coach. If your child is having any issues, please communicate with us and we will do everything in our power to help with their adjustment. Sometimes it might be as simple as making the coach aware so they can provide some extra attention. Depending on the situation, it may be best to move the child to a different class, which we are also happy to help facilitate.
