The vendor opportunity at Soccer Shots

Soccer Shots operates 335 total units, of which 313 are franchised and 23 are company-owned. The brand reported average unit volume of $222,830.36 in its 2026 FDD, with year-over-year unit growth of 2.288%. For software vendors, the primary addressable market consists of those 313 franchised locations, though the 23 company-owned units may represent a separate, potentially more direct sales path through HQ. The franchisor collects a 7.0% royalty, a figure that signals a steady revenue stream at the parent level and may influence willingness to invest in centralized technology.

No parent company is on file, and Soccer Shots appears independently owned. The brand sits in the education segment, where scheduling, parent communication, and payment processing tools often see high demand. Vendors selling into youth enrichment franchises should note that Soccer Shots does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology systems in its most recent FDD. This absence creates an open landscape but also means vendors must do their own discovery to understand what franchisees currently use.

Who controls software purchasing

The 2026 FDD lists only two HQ executives: Founders Jeremy Sorzano and Jason Webb. No chief information officer, chief technology officer, or dedicated procurement lead is named. In franchise systems of this size and structure, founders frequently retain direct control over major vendor relationships, especially when no formal technology leadership is disclosed. Vendors approaching Soccer Shots should expect decision-making to sit with the founder level rather than a specialized IT or operations buyer.

Because the operator footprint is not mapped in our corpus, we cannot identify multi-unit owners who might influence or make independent software decisions. The absence of named operators in the FDD further suggests that purchasing authority is not widely distributed among franchisees through any disclosed purchasing cooperative or advisory council.

Mandated and current tech stack

Soccer Shots does not mandate any point-of-sale, scheduling, registration, or operational software in its 2026 FDD. No vendors are named in Item 11 or elsewhere as required or recommended. This is not unusual for education-focused franchise systems, where the core service delivery often relies more on coaching and curriculum than on complex in-store technology. However, vendors should not interpret the lack of mandates as a lack of need. Franchisees almost certainly use some combination of tools for class registration, payment processing, parent communication, and staff scheduling, even if those tools are chosen independently.

For a vendor, the absence of a mandated stack means the sales motion likely involves proving value directly to franchisees, unless HQ is open to endorsing or subsidizing a system-wide rollout. Without a named tech stack, the competitive landscape remains unknown from public filings alone.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 of the 2026 FDD contains no extract regarding procurement requirements. This means the franchisor does not publicly disclose whether it designates specific suppliers, maintains an approved vendor list, or leaves purchasing entirely open to franchisees. In practice, this often signals an open procurement environment, but vendors should verify directly with the franchisor or existing franchisees.

Item 17, which typically covers renewal, termination, and transfer terms, also contains no extract in our corpus. The initial term length is not disclosed. Without these data points, estimating contract renewal windows or system-wide refresh cycles is not possible from the FDD alone. Vendors may need to time outreach around broader business cycles, such as seasonal registration peaks common in youth sports.

How to read the Soccer Shots FDD

The Soccer Shots franchise disclosure document was filed with state franchise regulators in 2026. The embedded PDF viewer below provides full access to the document. Key sections for software vendors include Item 1 (executives), Item 8 (procurement obligations), Item 11 (franchisor assistance and required systems), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). Because no technology systems are mandated, Item 11 will be notably sparse, but it remains the authoritative source for any future updates to required tech.
