Soccer Shots is offered as an extracurricular activity for children enrolled in Three-Year-Olds, Four-Year-Olds, and Five-Year-Olds. It is led by Jason Kendall, John Stagni, and Jacob Chambliss who believe that athletic involvement encourages self-discipline, social interaction, and better fitness habits. They also find great importance in providing positive role models and character development for children. Having played or been involved with sports since a young age, they found the Soccer Shots Organization to be a great way to get children involved with a sport that they not only love but believe to be the best sport for fitness development for our youth.
