“We are absolutely thrilled to partner with these incredible women who have excelled not only on the soccer field but also in the role of motherhood,” said Megan Bruton, Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “Many times, Soccer Shots is the first sport experience for children and the confidence they build through our programming along with lessons like how to be a team player will stick with them long after their soccer sessions. Through this collaboration, we hope to highlight that all of us moms, even those at the top of their game, want the same things for our children – a safe, age-appropriate program where they have a whole lot of FUN – that is why Soccer Shots stands out.”
