Soccer Stars, founded in 2000, operates what it describes as the nation's largest youth soccer program across the United States. The company's core offering is a curriculum designed by soccer experts and child development specialists for children aged one to twelve, emphasizing fun, non-competitive play in small groups with positive reinforcement. It is part of Youth Athletes United.
The organization runs three distinct programs. The flagship Soccer Stars program is the primary offering. Soccer Stars United provides a pathway for more advanced training. Shining Stars is designed specifically for children with developmental challenges.
The company's approach prioritizes building individual connections with children through low child-to-coach ratios. It also maintains a focus on access, with over 5% of its students receiving financial assistance through dedicated programs and community partnerships.
