Work full-time in football, make a positive impact on children's lives, AND build a profitable business for yourself whilst doing so!
At Soccer Shooters we provide children’s football coaching in safe, fun environments. We aim to create a culture where kids love to play the game. They look forward to practices and games as times when they will have fun.
Established in 2015, we currently coach 800 kids a week across areas in Bristol. South Gloucestershire, Hemel Hempstead, Devon and Bath.
Soccer Shooters offers a wide range of services, including:
- Holiday clubs
- After-school clubs
- Futsal classes
- Boys and girls sessions
- Girls-specific football programmes
- Tots sessions
- School wraparound services
In addition to these, Soccer Shooters works closely with grassroots community clubs, supporting volunteers to provide the best possible experiences for children. This is a major benefit of being a Soccer Shooters franchisee!
Our mission is to raise the standard of coaching in the UK so that every child can access the appropriate provision, giving them every opportunity to be the best they can be - in sport and in life.
We’ve already helped thousands of children develop their football and life skills through our clubs and school engagement programme, as well as our holiday clubs and specialist futsal sessions. But our journey is only just beginning.
Football is a growing business sector, each week 67% of boys and 29% of girls aged 5-18 participate in football. A total of 4.49m. You can now be part of this exciting industry.
However, Soccer Shooters is more than a business; it’s a chance to enrich children’s lives through football. Join us in this rewarding journey, where passion for sport meets positive community impact. Let’s shape futures together!
Our franchise opportunity
As a well-established business since 2015, Soccer Shooters is now looking to expand across the UK to meet growing demand. A unique aspect of our franchise opportunity is our strong support for grassroots community football clubs, which offers franchisees an ideal platform to engage with local children, parents, and clubs, widening their reach and positive community impact.
Franchisees may not need to conduct the coaching themselves, especially in a thriving franchise with multiple sessions running simultaneously. Delegating coaching responsibilities to qualified coaches will be key. Our coach education programme supports franchisees, ensuring that all coaches deliver sessions in line with "The Soccer Shooters Way."
Our first franchisee, Ket Mistry, has been delighted with his journey so far - "I can’t believe it’s been 18 months since I launched my Soccer Shooters pilot franchise in Hemel Hempstead! The journey has been incredible, thanks to the exceptional support from James and his team. It was their coaching education and business guidance that helped us grow beyond what I thought possible. With their effective systems, we were able to streamline operations and achieved amazing results.
"Now, we’re excited to transition to a full Soccer Shooters franchise! And I wholeheartedly recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to succeed in youth coaching. It’s been a truly outstanding experience!"
