Buy a Soccer Stars Franchise

Soccer Stars is a mobile, curriculum-based youth soccer franchise that teaches children the game in a fun, non-competitive environment, with semi-competitive and competitive options for older players. Founded in 2000 and known for years as Super Soccer Stars, the brand runs classes, camps and clinics for children from toddler age through their teens, delivered at schools, parks and community venues rather than from a fixed location.

Since 2018 the brand has been part of Youth Athletes United, a multi-brand youth sports platform whose leadership carries more than two decades of industry experience. Soccer Stars is the largest corporate-run youth soccer program in the country and has reached more than 2 million children, with franchisees running around 100,000 classes, camps and clinics nationwide each year.

The mobile model keeps the business asset-light: owners coordinate coaches and programming across a protected territory instead of running a venue. Brand visibility is supported by professional ambassadors such as US international Trinity Rodman and by a proprietary registration platform built to make online sign-up and payment simple for parents.

Why buy a Soccer Stars Franchise?

Buying a Soccer Stars franchise means entering an enrollment-driven children’s activity business within a youth sports category that has proved resilient and continues to grow. The brand brings 25 years of name recognition, a tested curriculum and a position as the largest corporate-run youth soccer program in the US, giving a new owner a head start an independent program would have to build from scratch.

The mobile, facility-free model keeps overhead low and makes the business scalable across a territory, while membership of the Youth Athletes United platform adds shared leadership, systems and multi-sport expansion paths. A proprietary online registration system and dedicated in-house marketing support are built to drive enrollments and ease the admin that often limits owner-operators.

Soccer Stars – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners complete in-person training at the brand's New York headquarters, backed by virtual sessions and in-territory support in the early weeks. Franchisees use a proprietary online registration and payment platform, an in-house marketing team with a media library and franchisee microsites, and recruiting resources for coaching staff plus help building school and parks-and-rec partnerships. Ongoing support has included up to a year with a dedicated business success coach and a bi-annual franchisee conference. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and platform access carry over to a new owner.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits energetic, community-minded operators who enjoy building local relationships and want a business centred on children's development. Day to day, owners focus on driving enrollments, marketing locally, recruiting and managing coaching staff, and forming partnerships with schools, youth centres and parks-and-recreation departments rather than coaching every session themselves. A background in coaching, education or sports management helps but is not required; stronger predictors of fit are sales and organisational ability, comfort managing a seasonal staff roster, and genuine enthusiasm for working with families.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Soccer Stars was named to Franchise Business Review's Top 200 Franchises for 2026 and recognised as a Top Low-Cost Franchise for 2025, both based on franchisee satisfaction surveys. It is also listed in franchise directories including Entrepreneur and IFPG, and draws on 25 years of brand awareness and the backing of the Youth Athletes United platform. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, parent reviews and community relationships, which carry much of the weight in a children's activity business.

  4. Industry / Market

    Youth sports is one of the more resilient corners of US consumer spending: the Aspen Institute's Project Play estimates the US youth sports economy at more than $40 billion, with family spending on children's sports up sharply over the past decade. Demand is driven by dual-income households outsourcing enrichment, early specialisation in sports, and parents prioritising physical activity and social development. Soccer's broad appeal and low equipment cost keep it accessible across markets. Programming carries some seasonality, so resale buyers should weigh a territory's year-round enrollment mix and local school and league ties.
