MINI
Soccer Shots Mini is a high-energy program introducing children to fundamental soccer principles, such as using your feet, dribbling and the basic rules of the game.
Through fun games, songs and positive reinforcement, children will begin to experience the joy of playing soccer and being active.
Soccer Shots Southwest Florida is excited to begin a new season!
We believe that the Soccer Shots curriculum encourages inclusive, child-centered activities, facilitated and encouraged by coaches and families, in a safe, positive, fun and welcoming environment. We believe that all children can develop socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively and linguistically, through soccer and play.
A Soccer Shots session includes:
- Activities that promote development in each early childhood domain
- A theme of the day woven throughout the session and applied to each activity
- Character words that are succinctly defined and applied throughout each session (by coaches and participants)
- 3 rules that emphasize the character words
- An objective for each day’s session that describes the outcomes of the session
- Ideas for differentiation that are provided for each skill or game, both individually and for groups of children
- Opportunities for play and creativity
- An emphasis on the development of soccer skills while having fun
- A weekly email update on everything your child is learning in their session that week
Make-Up Sessions:
- We promise 2 make-up sessionsat all locations for cancelled sessions.
- Make-up sessions for Public Programs are typically scheduled in the two weeks following the last session day.
- Make-up sessions for School and Childcare Center Locations are typically scheduled based on their school calendar
- Make-ups, refunds, and credits are not available for missed sessions due to personal reasons (vacation, illness, etc)
Willmy child get a Soccer Shots Jersey?
- Youth jerseys are distributed once per year and are sent at the same time you pay your enrollment fee, regardless of the number of seasons you sign your child up for within that year.
- If you have not been prompted to pay your enrollment fee, you also will not be receiving a jersey for this season.
- If you need a new jersey, please check out the merchandise store at store.soccershots.com
Policies& Procedures
Registration Policy:
All registration for Soccer Shots programming must be completed online. We are happy to help answer any questions you may have. The registration fee covers the cost of a jersey, various seasonal prizes, and is non-refundable.
Payment Plan Policy:
If you selected the payment plan option when registering your initial charge will be $50 plus the $25 annual registration fee (if applicable). A $50 charge will be applied each month after registration until 5 days before the seasons end where the remaining balance for the season will be charged.
Discounts:
Any discount from coupon codes or sibling discounts are deducted from the total owed and will be applied at checkout during registration.
Cancellation Policy:
If you wish to cancel enrollment in Soccer Shots programming, you must send an email to swfl@soccershots.com. Soccer Shots reserves the right to cancel any program due to insufficient enrollment. Upon cancellation for insufficient enrollment, a refund will be made.
Refund Policy:
If, for any reason, the season is cancelled prior to the start of the season we will offer a full refund or credit to your Soccer Shots account. If, for any reason, the season is cancelled after the season has begun we will offer a prorated refund or credit to your Soccer Shots account for any sessions cancelled.
A minimum of 4 registrants is required after the first weeks session for the season to continue. Refunds will not be issued for non-attendance at a scheduled session or weather postponements. Any and all refunds/credits are issued at the discretion of Soccer Shots Southwest Florida.
Lightning Policy:
We do our best to monitor the weather leading up to all of our sessions. We follow the same policy regarding lightning that Lee & Collier Counties use for their schools and public facilities. If there is lightning within a 10 mile radius, we have to clear the field for 30 minutes from the last strike. If it is raining or storming and it looks like it will continue, we will send out an email and/or text message letting you know if the session will be cancelled. Cancellations will be communicated to the email address and/or texted to the phone number on the account submitted during the registration process.
Make-Up Sessions:
Schools
Whenever possible, we will use indoor space during inclement weather. However not every location has an indoor option for us to use. We do want the children to receive as much instruction as possible so we will work with each individually affected school to reschedule any cancelled soccer sessions. Additionally, our schedule has make-up days (same day of week/same time) built into it for this very reason, which may just lengthen the season.
Parks
Whenever possible we will play until conditions are detrimental to the children’s safety. Normally we have 1-2 make-up weeks scheduled at the end of each season to account for cancelled sessions. However, due to the abundance of inclement weather, we may at times find it necessary to reschedule cancelled sessions for other weeknights or even Saturday mornings.
All Programs
All cancelled and rescheduled sessions will be communicated to the email address and/or texted to the phone number on the account submitted during the registration process. We promise 2 make-up sessions at all locations for cancelled sessions. Weather postponed sessions will be made up at a later date and time and will be communicated to you via email and/or text. If time or weather does not permit us to make-up these 2 sessions prior to the start of the next season, a credit will be issued to your account for use in a future Soccer Shots session. Make-ups, refunds, and credits are not available for missed classes due to personal reasons (vacation, illness, etc...).
Jerseys:
We utilize an outside platform for jersey distribution. All jerseys are delivered via the company to your home address. Please keep in mind that they are athletic-cut jerseys and tend to run small. Your jersey will ship within 2 business days from checkout, and upon shipping you will receive tracking information via email. You can expect to receive your child’s jersey in the mail within 7-10 business days of enrollment. Please understand that if you sign up within two weeks of the season start date, your child is not guaranteed to receive their jersey before the first session. Any questions, please email shipping@soccershots.com.
Should you need to exchange sizes contact them by email at shipping@soccershots.com. You must provide your name, your child's name, your shipping address, the size you received, and the size you are requesting in the email. Please note, jerseys must be in new condition with the tag still attached to be accepted as a return. Returns are accepted up to 15 days after the jersey is mailed out and exchanges are accepted up to 30 days after the jersey is mailed out.
Transfer Policy:
Transfers will be accommodated within the same season as long as there is room in the session being transferred to. We also ask our coaches if they believe the child is a good fit to move to a different session, and we do take their response into consideration during the transfer process. Please email swfl@soccershots.com for all transfer requests.
Scheduled Breaks & Holidays:
We align our programs year round with the Lee and Collier County school district schedules. There are planned breaks with no sessions on certain holidays and during certain school breaks. Please refer to the schedule and no session dates listed on the website during the registration process. Any possible changes to the schedule will be communicated to the email address and/or texted to the phone number on the account submitted during the registration process.
Social Media:
Registration & participation in our programming authorizes us to take photos and share on our company social media pages. We also use a private photo and video sharing app called PhotoCircle to help connect you with what your child has been up to on Soccer Island at school. Every park and school location has its own private PhotoCircle link. This link is shared in the confirmation email after registering and in a specific email about PhotoCircle following week 3 of the season. To request the PhotoCircle link associated with your child’s location please email us at swfl@soccershots.com.
