The Gainesville HotShots were started by Alan and Aimee Womack in 1999. They created the HotShots to develop players beyond what was then offered by either rec soccer or select soccer in Gainesville. Girls' travel teams didn't start before U12 back then, and the impression was that Gainesville select soccer in general couldn't compete with the major clubs from the big cities around the state and beyond. The HotShots blazed a trail that other teams in Gainesville hope to follow. These girls proved to the city of Gainesville and to soccer Clubs throughout the Southeast that a small market team can work their way into the upper tier of youth competitive soccer. The Hotties really raised the bar for soccer in Gainesville, and all the teams that are following in their cleat prints, both boys' and girls', benefit from their achievements.

The HotShots represent five different High Schools in the area. There were nine players named to the Gainesville Sun's all-area girls soccer team as freshmen.

The HotShots have had many successes over the years. They have won or been finalists in over 10 tournaments over the past six seasons, including titles at the Savannah Cup (U12), the Pensacola Classic (U14), and the Gator Showcase (U16). During their U15 season they were finalists in the Seminole Fall Festival and the Gator Showcase, playing up in the U16 division. As U15's they were the State Cup Finalists losing only one game, in OT, of the eleven during their State Cup run. They have been finalists at many other tourneys, most notably at Disney (U10, U11, U12) and at the Orange Classic (U14). They were semi-finalists at the Atlanta Cup three times , as U13's, and U14's, and U16's. As U17's the HotShots returned to the State Cup Finals.
