Amazing soccer program for younger children starting at age 2. We enrolled our 3 children this summer ( 2 yr old twins, and 3 year old) and couldn't be happier. The toddler (24-36 months) program is a parent tot class that teaches basic soccer skills by using fun age appropriate games. Class is 60 minutes and my twins lose interest after about 45 minutes so I think a shorter class might be better. That said the coaches are very engaging and they love going and getting high fives after scoring. My 3 year old loves her class as well. I'm especially impressed with coach Adam who manages to draw my (extremely shy) daughter on the field and have her playing happily in a matter of minutes. If he sees her starting to wander towards me, he immediately refocuses her. At this age they still focus on skill building and often separate the kids into small groups for more individualized attention. This is a high quality kids program that shouldn't be missed. read more

Please note that they have many locations. My children have taken clinics in Highland Park, Highwood & Glenview. If you or your kids want to play soccer look no further than Little Legends! My son & daughter have both enjoyed Little Legends. Over the past 2+ years I have enrolled them in their practice clinics, game clinics & camps. What I love about Little Legends, there are so many things; To start Coach Tony & Coach George the owners - they are truly the Nicest Guys! They are experienced soccer players & coaches & they love what they do & have a true gift for working & bonding with children (toddler & up). Their staff also awesome (special shout out to one of our favs Coach Danielle) - it's true what they say good people attract good people! All the other coaches have played soccer & have been trained how to teach & coach soccer. Their clinics are really affordable & they offer great opportunities to make up missed clinics/classes. They teach your children soccer skills, sportsmanship skills & as a result soccer is fun! There is no denying that the Little Legend's "real" coaches have so much more impact on teaching skills than parent volunteer coaches as in AYSO. Lastly, yes your kids are learning but this is still a super friendly & fun atmosphere which is enjoyable for the kids & parents! I had my daughter in AYSO for 3 years she never really got a grip on the game, lots of running around but not really skills or even a true sense of the rules. Coach Tony told me "have her play with the boys & she will become a better player." Well, despite my concern, he was exactly right. She took a 9 week session with them & she was on fire! She Loves the game, confident, fearless & continued until she was too old for their clinics. My son also loves Little Legends it's always a highlight of his week! We even had a Little Legends Soccer Birthday which was fantastic too! read more

This is an excellent soccer league for younger kids (ages 3-8). The coaches foster a fun learning environment and teach the kids soccer concepts and footwork. I would highly recommend this league to parents who are looking to introduce their son or daughter to soccer. read more

I have had an older child participate in the Lil Kickers program in Chicago from 3-5 and now all three in Little Legends in the 3-4 and 5-6 programs for indoor. Little Legends has by far a more positive experience. The coaches actually coach the children in soccer skills while acclimating them to a social group setting. There is also a better coach to child ratio which leads to a better learning environment. The cost is the same as other programs so I would whole heartedly recommend this to anyone looking for early age soccer programs. read more

Little legends is amazing!! My cousins love playing soccer with the team, Coach Adam is especially attentive and caring towards all the kids! The kids have a great time and learn sportsmanship, I love watching them! read more

We've had one child in AYSO and now the little one in Little Legends. The difference is night and day. The coaches are great with the kids...they're young players who want to be there and actually know what they're talking about. And most importantly, the organization is easy to work and coordinate with (website, actual phone number that has current information, strong email communication). And considering this is soccer for a 4 year old, being easy to coordinate with is where all the value is. I might pull the other one over to Little Legends read more

LLSA was the best decision I've made for my son. The coaches are super friendly and really make soccer fun for the kids. I love how they encourage the kids. Other places I've noticed that they will let the kids just wander or stay with their parents but they really do motivate the kids. They're not over priced which is good and it's great that I don't have to pay extra for living in a different city. My son is happy which makes me happier, that's all that matters. read more

This is an outstanding program for young children to learn about soccer from professional instructors that make the learning environment fun and engaging for the age level. We have participated for two years and our youngest daughter still asks when her soccer day is. Recommend it to anyone that wants their child to try or engage in the sport of soccer. Finally, this is an excellent start and sport for girls as our oldest plays Travel Soccer with the Chicago Magic and has fostered some amazing friendships over the 5 years she has played. It is also amazing that her team can beat all but the top level of boys teams which shows the amazing athletic ability and skill the girls pick up over the years. Little legends is the perfect place to start your daughter in a sport that she can just enjoy casually or take to higher levels. read more

I've had my kids in the little legends program for several years. The first year it was lead by coach George and it was amazing. My daughter who's 4 1/2 is enrolled now and its a real disappointment. My daughter spends about 70% of the time sitting on the ball waiting for her turn. Each group has two coaches which is nice but they lack the energy that is expected at this age group. This is definitely the last time we're enrolling in the little legends program. read more

My kids have been doing this program for over four years! I have recommend this program to many friends and their kids enjoy it. All the coaches are great and get the kids playing and loving the game of soccer! What they teach the kids about the game and FOOTSKILLS at such an early age is amazing. Keep up the great work Little Legends! read more

My son has been attending this program for almost a year now. All the coaches at this Glenview location have been great (especially Coach Adam). They make the classes fun while also teaching solid soccer skills. I am impressed with how much my child has learned and how much he enjoys soccer. I would highly recommend this location. read more

I've been impressed with Little Legends thus far. We enrolled our 2-year-old twin girls in the starter clinic in Glenview. We were searching for something to keep them active outdoors this summer and this program fit the bill. It's almost like a mini-sports camp experience but interactive with parents. The drills are very basic, but as expected for this age range (kicking, shooting on goal, toe taps, chasing around, balancing drills, etc.). My main critique would be the length of the sessions. It's very difficult to keep toddlers engaged for a full hour. I think ten 45-50 minute sessions would be preferable over 8-one hour sessions. The 2-3 year old clinic is only currently offered in Glenview which is not as convenient for us. It would be nice to see it expanded to other locations where their clinics are offered. All in all, LL is a very organized program and reasonably priced. As a Marketing professional, I've also noticed they do a great job of advertising and promoting their programs. We were surprised to see them as a participant in the 4th of July parades. I would recommend checking out their programs and will be curious to see the difference and progression in clinics as the kids get older. read more

Great program. Coaches are very friendly and do a great job teaching them how to play a game. Coach Adam who heads up Glenview program is fantastic. His enthusiasm runs off on the kids and makes it fun for all the players regardless of skill level. read more

I love "Little Legends"! Great staff, super locations and affordable.

This has been the most terrific soccer program! My son is about to graduate from Little Legends. He is almost 7 and has been coached by Tony since he was 4. I can't imagine a better coach. He is fun and very kind to the kids, but also firm and commands a lot of respect and attention. My son has played with the same 6 or 8 boys for the whole 3 years and they have become good buddies and great teammates. I hope they play together for many years. Thank you, George and Tony, for an awesome experience! read more

Continue to be very pleased with Little Legends. Helpful coaches and well run program make for happy parents
