Soccer Shots Franchise Comes To The Triangle Via Former Pro

Trey Alexander hung up his playing cleats in 2009 and thought he would embark on a career as a nurse. Just a few short years away from the beautiful game, however, and now he's back in the thick of things and opened a franchise of Soccer Shots, a program that introduces young children to soccer.

"I just really missed being around the game," he says.

Alexander played college soccer at Western Kentucky and had a few stints with various professional clubs before moving to Danville, Va., where his wife was from. His father is a nurse, and so he thought that would be a good profession for him, but a friend of his in Texas had been asking him to work at a Soccer Shots franchise out there.

Alexander and his wife thought about it, and decided they liked the idea so much that they would just buy a franchise themselves. For the initial fee of $16,500, the Alexanders chose the Triangle as a good place to set up their goals.

Under the Soccer Shots model, the franchise owner typically partners with area pre-schools and kindergartens to run small soccer clinics. The target ages are about 3 years to 8 years, and Alexander says he tries to teach good character as well.

So far he's done only a four-week abbreviated program with six area schools, but hopes to ramp up branding throughout the winter to be ready in full by the spring.

"This is a great soccer area," Alexander says. "Soccer already being here means parents already know about it," he adds, which should help get his business off the ground.
