About SoccerTots Houston South

SoccerTots Houston South began operations in June of 2009 by David Hoffman. Dave has an extreme passion for soccer that he developed at a very early age. Some of his most vivid childhood memories as a toddler are from attending "football" matches in Manchester, England, with his dad. When he was introduced to the program, Dave immediately knew that SoccerTots was perfect for him and the growing soccer community in Houston. The opportunity to enrich young lives - both boys and girls - and help them find the love for soccer that he had growing up was too much to resist. Dave currently lives in Houston with his wife, Linda. Meet our Staff below.


History of SoccerTots, Inc. (2002-Present)

SoccerTots® began local operations in Spokane, WA, in February of 2002. In August 2002 SoccerTots began marketing the SoccerTots program to potential Licensees and signed its first License a month later. Currently SoccerTots has over 40 Licensees running SoccerTots at over 150 locations including locations in Canada and Peru. In the fall of 2008, SoccerTots stepped up its program and started franchising its concept.

SoccerTots® has steadily added programming to its brand. Over the years it has added SoccerTouch (7-10 year old), SoccerTouch Summer Camps, PartyTots, SoccerTots Enrichment and most recently HoopsterTots. Several other programs are in various stages of development.

The company has emerged as the premier child development company in the United States. We are very proud of the quality and execution of our programs and hope to continue growing and enhancing lives all over the world.


About our Programs

Sports are perfect for developing young bodies for any athletic endeavor. The first stages of athletic advancement entail creating body awareness, strength and fitness. Upon this core, advanced skills and muscle coordination can be developed for any sport. SoccerTots Houston South introduces sport as a fun, social way to get regular exercise while having lots of fun, which is important for younger kids.

The feedback we get from the parents of kids who have been through our program has been very enthusiastic, especially in regards to preparing them for sports leagues. We consistently hear that the kids go into the early stages of sports leagues as being very advanced compared to the other players. But whether or not your child pursues one of our sports to a high level, teaching them the game could be a gift that lasts a lifetime. Read more about our Program Benefits.
