Why Little Sparks+?

Little Sparks+ programs are children's next steps in soccer, introducing them to more traditional gameplay through the 4v4 soccer game model. Following a child's first steps in soccer through Little Sparks, Little Sparks+ evolves its focus from self-awareness to social awareness - instead of parent participation, players start to learn how to interact with other peers to gain confidence in building relationships and to understand how to work as a team

Who are the coaches for Little Sparks+?

All of our coaches are licensed and experienced with specialist knowledge in working and teaching younger children through soccer. Every coach is carefully selected and goes through a comprehensive background check to ensure child safety.

What does my child need for class?

We ask that all participants wear comfortable clothes and some form of closed-toe shoe, including tennis shoes, indoor soccer shoes, or cleats. In addition, we ask that each participant has a filled water bottle to hydrate.

Children are more than welcome to wear shin guards if they wish. We also ask that every participant bring their own soccer ball, as those are not provided by our coaches. A size 3 ball is recommended.

How many children are in each class?

We do our best to maintain a 10:1 player to coach ratio in all classes, however, this number may go up to 12 in special scenarios.

Can I drop my child off for class and leave?

Yes! We recommend parents stay and watch, but adult participation is not required for this program,
