    Soccer Shots is the #1 Children's Soccer program in the country. Why? Aside from the incredible curriculum, leadership, and passion, we only hire the best instructors to work with our children. It's imperative that you not only enjoy working with children, but you also have outstanding soccer experience and are incredibly passionate about spreading the love of the sport. We want our Soccer Shots sessions to be the BEST 30-45 minutes of each child's week-as we strive to develop basic soccer skills, teamwork and healthy lifestyles in each of our children.

We operate in daycares, preschools, community centers, and parks all over the Peoria and Central Illinois area. Classes are Monday through Saturday, 30-45 min for each session. We provide training, soccer equipment, and all curriculum materials. We offer rewarding work in a great environment with the opportunity to inspire the youth soccer players of the community. At some centers, there will be multiple classes, meaning you could be instructing 2-3 consecutive sessions.
