About Soccer Stars

Founded in 2000 in New York City, Soccer Stars has grown into the country's largest corporately run youth soccer program. Their mission is to positively impact kids through soccer. Dynamic coaches work with small groups of kids ages 1 year – 18 years old to develop these skills and teamwork in a fun, non-competitive, educational class-based environment. Soccer Stars operates in over 13 states and 25 major markets reaching over 110,000 children each year.

Soccer Stars has revenue streams across multiple channels including pre-schools, daycares, elementary schools, parks & rec programs, soccer clubs, private groups, birthdays, and more. They offer multiple program types to suit all ages, and operate as a 100% mobile curriculum-based business.

This means a fast launch and ramp-up timeline due to low, flexible staffing and start-up costs. The curriculum is easy to learn and teach, making it excellent for those passionate about working with young children without the need for practical soccer experience.

Soccer Stars is a part of Youth Athletes United, one of the largest youth sports franchise platforms in the country. Being a part of the Youth Athletes United platform gives franchisees access to an experienced management team, operators, technology, marketing, and an extensive peer group.
