What Super Soccer Stars does

Super Soccer Stars is a New York-based private youth soccer education company founded in 2000, serving children ages 1 to 12+ through age-specific curriculum co-developed by soccer experts and child development professionals. The core program portfolio includes Parent & Me (toddlers 12-24 months using mascot puppets Mimi and Pepe), Super Soccer Stars (ages 2-12+ recreational), Soccer Stars United (ages 4.5-12+ competitive), and Shining Stars (children with developmental challenges). Supplemental offerings include summer camps, day-off camps, private training, rec and spirit leagues, birthday parties, and school enrichment programming delivered at preschools and elementary schools.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer seasonal class enrollment via a unified registration portal (registration.youthathletesunited.com), a franchise network enabling entrepreneur-led geographic expansion (marketed via soccerstarsfranchise.com), and B2B school enrichment partnerships. Revenue streams include recurring seasonal class fees, per-session camp and private training fees, one-time birthday party fees, subscription school enrichment contracts, and franchise/license fees; no public pricing is disclosed. The technology stack is operationally focused (registration portal, class finder, email/SMS marketing) with no proprietary AI, ML, or data platform disclosed. Since 2018, Super Soccer Stars has operated under Youth Athletes United, a multi-brand youth sports franchise platform that also owns Amazing Athletes and TGA.
