Using the world's most popular game, we were given the opportunity to form relationships and invest in children in ways that are far beyond just the game of soccer. In Soccer Shots Memphis time, we have been amazed at the stories and experiences we've shared with families all over the the area as we work together to provide a long-lasting and positive soccer experience for our soccer friends. SSMEM runs sessions Monday through Saturday at preschools and parks all over the Memphis, Arlington, Cordova, Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville and surrounding areas, all year round.
