Soccer Stars is a youth soccer franchise dedicated to providing fun, educational, and skill-building soccer experiences for children aged 1 to 18. Founded in 2000 in New York City, it has grown into one of the largest youth soccer programs in the U.S., reaching over 125,000 children annually across more than 25 states. The program uses soccer as a tool to enhance motor skills, socialization, confidence, and teamwork in a non-competitive environment. Soccer Stars operates through a mobile model, partnering with schools, parks, and community organizations to offer structured soccer classes in a variety of settings. After over two decades of success, the brand began franchising to expand its impact nationwide.
Franchisees operate a 100% mobile business with multiple revenue streams, including preschool and school programs, private groups, birthday parties, and advanced soccer training. The franchise provides a structured, curriculum-driven approach, ensuring consistency and quality in coaching. Owners receive extensive training, a proprietary registration and management platform, and marketing support to help grow their business. With minimal overhead and no need for a physical location, franchisees can quickly launch and scale their operations while benefiting from the strong unit-level economics and brand recognition of Soccer Stars.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals passionate about working with children and making a positive community impact through sports. While no prior soccer or coaching experience is required, franchisees should be outgoing, skilled in networking and sales, and comfortable managing a team of coaches. Whether operating as an owner-operator or semi-absentee with a general manager, franchisees are responsible for marketing, hiring, and building relationships with local schools and organizations. Soccer Stars is a great fit for those who enjoy an active, community-driven business with a strong mission to develop young athletes.
