Little Legends Soccer Academy

Little Legends Soccer Academy is a specialized youth soccer program in Glenview where players are taught the fundamental skills of soccer in a competitive and friendly atmosphere. Our main goal in these sessions are to develop players foot skills, passing, and receiving. We incorporate this through fun and exciting games.  Players will be entertained along with learning the beautiful game of soccer (World's Most Played Sport).

Little Legends Soccer Academy presents its newest program in town: Born To Kick.  It is a unique program designed to meet child's mental and physical development needs.  Soccer is used as a vehicle to emphasize/ introduce visual learning at the young ages.  The program is offer to toddlers from 18 months old to 3 years old (parents’ participation is mandatory and very important for the outcome of this program).  Born To Kick Soccer creates the opportunity for children to experience body awareness, increase their vocabulary, learn about number, shapes, form, texture, colors, and explore their surroundings in a safe environment.

The idea behind the curriculum is to create a standardized system, which enables us to set a structure that creates an environment for kids to meet their developmental milestones while being introduced to a healthy life style through soccer fostering continuum growth.  While developing this curriculum, the age and activity level of participants were carefully considered and applied as fitted. The methods and the structure used for this program follow the guidelines of the United States Soccer Federation and US Youth Soccer as well as coaches’ experience on and off the field.  Our staff has a clear understanding of the value of teaching and respecting our clients.

Soccer clinics are designed for 3 to 5 year old players with no playing experiance required. Players will be challenged week to week by introducing new skills and techniques.  At this age, the toddler brain is twice as active as the adult brain and motor development continues at a rapid pace.  This stage creates a great opportunity for Little Legends Soccer Academy of Glenview to give continuity to our visual learning curriculum while introducing the fundamentals of soccer (passing, receiving, playing small-sided games, etc) as well as developing their motor skills.  The 3 to 5 Year Old Micro Program is the first step towards the extraordinary future ahead

Children are now entering a more independent stage of their youth development.  They have somewhat mastered the basic dexterity, language and social skills so now they are eager to refine them and put it to use.  Following these developmental patterns but keeping fun as one of our priorities, Players will be introduced to a more advanced footwork skills and more emphasis will be place on game situations (attacking, defending and position on the field).  At this age, players will be challenge in every step along the way so they will be prepared to play at the travel and competitive level at the completion of the clinic.
