Soccer Shots Temecula is a recreational soccer program for children ages 2-8. Children learn real-life soccer skills in a fun and positive way geared towards their ages and abilities. There are classes held all throughout Temecula Valley including Murrieta, Menifee, French Valley, Lake Elsinore and of course Temecula. They are held at multiple different playgrounds on multiple days of the week so you can find a class that will work best for your schedule.
Soccer Shots Temecula wouldn't be the awesome program they are without their patient, dedicated, skilled, passionate and professional coaches. We'd love for you to meet them and learn a little about what makes them so awesome!

What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
My favorite memory is getting to see our players blossom throughout the season. I always love seeing our shy players evolve into confident little soccer stars by the end of the season. I also just love building relationships with families and getting to see their children grow season over season. We have had so many players who start in our minis and go through the program until they age out. It’s just always so awesome to see all the growth over the years

I love the joy in the players faces when they accomplish a skill that they had no idea they were capable
of and had fun doing it.
What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
My favorite memory was when Coach Kelly and I were teaching a group of Premier players passing.
Something clicked in the group, and they connected with 3 players on a one touch pass to score a goal.
They were stunned after they executed that play and for the rest of the session we had their attention.

Coach Aaron
What do you love about coaching at soccer shots?
Being a youth soccer coach at Soccer Shots is an incredibly rewarding experience. One of the things I
love most about coaching here is witnessing the children's growth and development throughout the
sessions. It's truly heartwarming to see how much progress they make in their soccer skills, but also in
their social and emotional development. Watching them gain confidence and build strong friendships
with their teammates is such a joy.
What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
One of my favorite memories from my coaching journey at Soccer Shots is the transformation of a child
who initially didn't participate much during the sessions. For about 75% of the program, this child was
quite reserved and shy. However, as the weeks went by and they became more comfortable with the
training and the group, they gradually started to come out of their shell. By the last few sessions, this
child surprised everyone by showing exceptional skills and a newfound enthusiasm for the game. It was
evident that they had been absorbing and internalizing the training all along, and it was such a proud
and rewarding moment for both the child and me as their coach.

I love being a Coach for Soccer Shots because I am able to give back to my community and share my love
for soccer and the skills I have gained throughout my soccer career.
What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
Some of my favorite memories are when I see the kids transition from being shy in the first few sessions
to running up to soccer island ready to pick a "pancake". I can see the excitement in their faces and it
makes coaching worth it.
Coach Ashley
What do you love about coaching at soccer shots?
What I love about coaching at soccer shots is all of the new skills that I've learned throughout the
seasons, such as being able to be efficient in quick decision making as well as expressing my creativity in
coming up with new games that are both knowledgeable and enjoyable for the kids. I also love how I am
able to connect with the kids and am able to see the growth and knowledge that they take away from
each class.
What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
One of my favorite memories was in one of the premier classes, we were able to play a scrimmage with
the kids. We did coaches versus kids, and the kids as well as us coaches ended up having a lot of fun. I
also really like playing Sharks and Minos with our younger group because it is one of their favorite
games and it teaches them a lot about blocking, pull backs, scissors, and step overs, and it's fun because
the coaches get to play with them.

having fun on Soccer Island!
What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
My favorite memory was when one of my little players drew me a picture of myself and it said best
coach ever. Such a heartwarming gift.

I mostly train with older players. Coaching at Soccer Shots gives me the opportunity to work with
younger players introducing them to the sport of soccer. Seeing their expressions when their playing and
learning new skills is very rewarding.
What is your favorite memory from your coaching journey at soccer shots?
My best memory is when a new player meets you and is a little wary, and by the time we are finished
with our lessons we are best friends.
