About Hot Shots Sports

Hot Shots Sports is America's premier youth sports programming organization serving children, families, and partner facilities across the Chicago, Phoenix, and Milwaukee metros. We run sports classes, camps, leagues, birthday parties, and school programming — and we partner with park districts, schools, community centers, private facilities, and other organizations to deliver it. We have a strong passion to use sports to positively impact children's lives, and believe that every interaction we have with our players is an opportunity to build self esteem and grow. Our coaches are continuously trained using our innovative and proprietary coaching methodology that ensures players of all backgrounds, skill sets, and ages can learn the tremendous benefits sports has to offer them. Our goal is to use sports to help young players find the best versions of themselves that will help create a foundation of self confidence that will benefit them throughout their life.
