There are many reasons to join the SuperKick team.
Here are just a few:

Reason 1: Be Your Own Boss


If at one point in your life you’ve ever thought ‘how exciting it would be to own a business and to determine your own financial future,’ then a SuperKick Franchise offers you that opportunity. If you love sports and draw energy from people of all ages and skill levels who are driven and motivated to be the best they can be, then a SuperKick Franchise offers you an ideal opportunity. If your ultimate passion also happens to be soccer, then a SuperKick Franchise is the perfect opportunity to live your dream.

Reason 2: Capitalize on a dynamic, vibrant and growing market


The world has changed in many ways in recent decades.

Look outside. What you won’t see these days are as many children playing ball in the neighborhood as you did, say, in the 1970s. Now that doesn’t suggest today’s youth aren’t playing sports. Quite the contrary. What is happening is that today’s youth are becoming involved, to a much greater degree, in organized sports activities, and parents are opening their wallets like never before to pay for personal training and athletic clubs to enhance their children’s experience.

Young people aren’t the only ones in organized sports activities. Adults are also involved. Indeed, fully 70% of Americans participate in one or more sports, physical conditioning and outdoor activities. In 2003, Americans spent more than $4 billion on sports instruction and private coaching – either for their children or on themselves. And a healthy percentage of those dollars are going to soccer.

Today, soccer is among the leading youth participation sports in the United States. Recent published statistics from the U.S. Soccer Federation indicate that roughly 19 million Americans, the majority of whom are youth, are registered to play soccer. This figure does not include the millions more who play in church and recreational leagues and who are not registered with the U.S. Soccer Federation.

The market for these types of franchises is dynamic. It’s vibrant. It’s growing. And it represents a demographic-dream-come-true for entrepreneurial-minded individuals who want to capitalize on its tremendous revenue potential.

Reason 3: World-renowned professionals and coaches write and develop our curriculum. Nationally licensed trainers implement it.
Our resume of curriculum directors reads like a Who’s Who of Soccer and Sports Performance.

Our world-renowned curriculum authors and developers include: Pierre Barrieu (Director of Sports Performance Development Curriculum); John Ellinger (Director of Soccer Skills Development Curriculum); and Peter Mellor (Director of Goalkeeping Development Curriculum).

SuperKick recruits nationally licensed trainers to implement all curriculum at the local
franchise level.

A special SuperKick Curriculum Advisory Board (CAB) oversees and recommends all
SuperKick Soccer and Sports Performance Program curriculum.

This important oversight and review board serves two primary purposes; specifically,
to ensure:

.....• Every SuperKick program meets rigorous quality standards and continues
.....to employ cutting-edge soccer skills, goalkeeper and sports performance training
.....techniques used throughout the world of competitive sports;

.....• All SuperKick program curriculum is appropriate for the ages and skill levels
.....for which they were written and developed.

The CAB is comprised of a cross-section of experienced and highly motivated and qualified individuals, ranging from a director of a major youth club, college and professional soccer coaches at the top of their game, to leading experts from various high-profile, top-flight international sports organizations, etc.

Reason 4: Comprehensive Start-Up Support and Training

Many factors contribute to a successful franchise operation. Receiving quality, abundant, consistent corporate-level support is one of the more crucial elements necessary for a franchisee to achieve the level of success he or she envisions for his or her business.

Reason 7: Guaranteed Results for the Modern Athlete

SuperKick training programs guarantee results. All programs are based on modern, proven, systematic training principles used throughout the world of competitive sports. They are updated regularly to allow you and your staff to remain at the forefront of sports training.

Our sports performance and strength conditioning curriculum, written and developed by
Pierre Barrieu, U.S. Soccer Men’s National Teams Conditioning Coach, is uniquely and scientifically designed to meet the evolving demands of the modern athlete.

Our soccer curriculum, written and developed by John Ellinger , former Head Coach of the U.S. Youth 17 National Soccer Team and Assistant Coach for the U.S. National Soccer Team, is designed to improve the athlete’s overall technique through repetitive, progressive training exercises.

We have also designed an innovative program tailored to meet the needs of the modern goalkeeper. The curriculum is written and developed by Peter Mellor, currently the National Goalkeeping Coach and Coordinator for the U.S. National Soccer Teams.

At SuperKick, we emphasize a balanced program that stresses proper technique and tactical and psychological elements of the position, as well as fitness and conditioning. Injury prevention is also fundamental to our training programs.

Reason 8: Make a Difference

While financial rewards are important and fundamental to any entrepreneurial endeavor, a SuperKick franchise offers you a bonus opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people, which, in the final analysis, can lead you to an even richer, more rewarding experience that money simply cannot buy.

This much we know: Sports participation builds an individual’s self-esteem and self-confidence. It also teaches respect, discipline and provides young people a template for many of life’s lessons that will serve them well as adults; lessons about commitment, about teamwork, how to work through conflict, and what it feels like to work hard and ultimately accomplish one’s goal.

As a SuperKick franchisee, you and your team can be at the epicenter of this richly rewarding environment, providing the advanced training and positive reinforcement to a segment of America’s youth, many of whom will likely be tomorrow’s leaders.

Reason 9: Connect with the Best

To be the best, you need to join the best.

As a SuperKick franchisee, you will work with a network of highly motivated and highly skilled sports and business professionals. These experts are world-renowned and have proven track records in the field of soccer and sports performance and conditioning.

Additionally, SuperKick has partnered with national and international soccer organizations to provide your staff with opportunities to learn from the pros. Your staff will benefit from seminars, speakers and clinics conducted by coaches with years of experience at all levels – from college to professional, from national to international. Topics will include everything from recruiting to coaching strategies, and much more. Guest coaches from both the U.S. and abroad will also conduct seminars at your SuperKick performance center.

In short, when you connect with SuperKick, you’ll work with the best-of-the-best in a dynamic and growing industry.
