New Orleans Shellshockers are an American soccer team, founded in 2003. The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, and plays in the Mid-South Division of the Southern Conference against teams from Austin, Baton Rouge, Dallas, El Paso, Jackson and Laredo.

For their first three years in the league, the Shell Shockers played their home games at the Pan American Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana. However, after their ground was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 [1] the Shell Shockers have been forced to play at the Muss Bertolino Stadium in nearby Kenner, Louisiana, 13 miles to the east of New Orleans itself. After their plight was featured in the international media, the Shell Shockers parent organisation pledged $1,000,000 (USD) to rebuild their stadium in the near future. Currently the stadium is being repaired and is expected to be done in late 2007 to 2008.

The team's colors are green, black and white.
