About Us

Mission Statement

Developing player confidence, discipline, character, skill and team play through instructional youth soccer training while being in a fun and exciting environment. Our goal is to introduce the game of soccer to our youth and hope that they will continue with the sport through their teen years and into their adult life.

History

In 2009 two Glenview IL Residents decided to develop a program catering to kids between the ages of 2 and 8.  Youth soccer programs in the area did not offer top quality coaches for youth soccer players.  The creation of Little Legend Soccer Academy offered youth soccer players a chance to learn the game from top level coaches.  Director Tony Youhanna and George Solomos created a program that encourages young soccer players to develop a love for the game.  Developing a curriculum younger players can benefit from in the future.

The Present

September 2009 marked the beginning of LLSA ( LL Soccer Academy) in Glenview.  At  first, our youth soccer programs offered clinics that consisted of 35 soccer players.  Today Little Legends Soccer Academy has over 400 players in the Glenview area and continues to grow with every session.  In time we are looking to develop a prestigious Soccer Academy on the North Shore with a world-class youth soccer program.  The quest for success has drawn support from local business and families.  The Academy has gone from a single location in Glenview Illinois to multiple locations that offer youngsters a chance to grow in soccer with our innovative and proven youth soccer drills and games.  Little Legends Soccer Academy offers clinics year round in Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook/Deerfield, and Wilmette.

The Goal

Little Legends Soccer Academy will continue to work hard and develop relationships with surrounding cities on the North Shore. Expanding to surrounding areas and providing top level coaching for youth soccer players.  Starting with younger ages to develop a love for soccer through fun exciting youth soccer exercises and games.
