Hot Shots provides an enjoyable introduction to organized soccer through training in fundamental technique in a shared player/parent educational environment.
Fall 2023 Registration Details
Hot Shots is a fun way to learn and play soccer. Join the SOCA staff for this great introductory program for beginning soccer players. The SOCA Hot Shots program introduces children to the sport in a kid-friendly, non-competitive environment. Each session includes player coordination activities along with fun skill-building activities and ends with small-sided games to goals. Teams are formed around schools and neighborhoods so that friends can play together.
Available to all interested players in the Under-6 age group (U5 & U6 players). Parent participation is permitted but not required. Small groups of players (typically 8-10 players per team) are introduced to soccer fundamentals by volunteer facilitators with on-site guidance provided by SOCA Staff. Hot Shots meets Saturday mornings for 8 weeks from 9:00 to 10:00 am. Registration is twice per year, with independent fall and spring seasons.

Special requests can be considered as part of Hot Shot team formation. Special requests may be made to play for a specific Facilitator or with a specific player. Only ONE request will be considered.
To make a special request, you must do so at the time of registration. Select the Hot Shots program in your account, on the next page of the registration process labeled “Registration Details”, click on the red “Add Special Request” link located under your player’s name at the top of the page. This will open a text box for your request. Enter your single request and then submit payment for the program.
All requests are considered and most are met. Unfortunately no special request can be guaranteed.
The Hot Shot teams are led by volunteer facilitators under the guidance of the SOCA staff. These volunteer facilitators are parents, area adults, local university students and high school age volunteers.
Please consider volunteering to be a facilitator of a SOCA Hot Shots team. The facilitator’s role each week is to guide the players through the activities and coordinate the game at the end of each session. SOCA will provide a weekly session plan in written form and demonstrate the activities prior to the start of the day.
Being a Facilitator is fun and easy. Please volunteer!
To register as a volunteer Facilitator, please follow these easy instructions:
Hot Shots uniforms include a team shirt provided by SOCA. Players may wear any socks, shorts or sweat pants they choose that are comfortable and appropriate.
