Dear Families:  Below are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

1.  What does my child need to wear?

We love for your child to wear their Soccer Shots Jerseys once they receive them (usually by the 2nd week) but it is not mandatory. Please make sure your child is wearing close-toed shoes such as sneakers on the day of soccer.  We also ask that they wear weather-appropriate attire.  If it is going to be hot, please send a water bottle with the child's name on it. (Public Programs Only) Soccer Shots will provide the rest.

2. Bad Weather Policy.

Soccer Shots will make up to two missed sessions due to weather each semester.  If we are unable to secure another day during the week to run the make ups we will make up those missed days by extending the instructional time over the next several sessions. You will receive an email with makeup details if this happens.  In case of inclement weather please pay close attention to your cell phones as we will send out a text alert as well as an email letting you know if a class is canceled due to weather. (Pubic Programs Only)  We do our very best to let you know in plenty of time to make any pickup arrangements for your child. 

3. Reoccurring Payments.

Soccer Shots is now offered as a monthly program.  This is mainly due to the recent pandemic.  Monthly programming allows us to easily adjust programming and pause a season due to a school shutdown.  It is also convenient for the families who participate with us as they do not need to remember to re-enroll for the next season of Soccer Shots and risk the class filling up before they can enroll their child again.  The Monthly cost is auto-charged to a card of your choice and can be canceled at any time.  We ask that you notify us via email at least 1 week prior to removing your child from the program so we can help cancel your next payment.  Please note that since many of our programs fill up we cannot hold your child's spot once they are removed and those slots will be opened up to those families who are on the wait list.  Thanks for understanding.
