Our Programs
Development Pathway
We keep things fun and engaging with age-appropriate group sizes and a child-first coaching approach, where our expert coaches who are trained in child development and communication, ensure every session is exciting, supportive, and packed with learning.
As kids grow, the focus shifts to the more technical aspects of the sport, while we keep the experience fun and engaging. Our coaches share best practices, get ongoing training, and always put the athlete’s needs first. With plenty of encouragement, structured progress, and a whole lot of fun, we’re here to help young athletes not just master sports, but also teamwork, resilience, and confidence—setting them up for success both on and off the field!
Exploration & fundamentals
Tactics
Basics
Age 2.5 to 6
A play-based, multi-sports program introducing early-years children to movement, coordination, and basic sports skills in a fun and engaging way.
Little Legends Foundations follows the belief that sport done right lays the groundwork for a lifetime of learning, growth, and enjoyment. Our child-first approach ensures that from their first kick to their first goal, every child develops not just as a player, but as a confident, resilient, and curious individual.
Our purposefully low child:adult ratio ensures that each child gets the individualized attention and care they need.
We put our Little Legends first in everything we do, and through our unique Child-First Methodology’s play-based experiences, our athletes build a strong foundation—not just in technical ability but in social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.
Age 6 to 12
A structured program focusing on skill-building, teamwork and competition, helping children develop their technique with confidence.
Once kids have been introduced to the basics through our Foundations program, our Academy gives them the structure and encouragement to start refining and perfecting their sport-specific skills. Our coaches are fully qualified in their respective sports, and act as subject-matter experts and role models to help your legend shine with confidence.
At Legends Academy, we believe in the 360 degree development of our children, and we focus on their overall development, both as an athlete and as an individual. Our classes place an emphasis not only on technical development and sporting excellence, but also on promoting respect, inclusion, discipline, teamwork and self-confidence.
While traning drills are essential for developing the physical and technical aspects of the game, putting those skills to work in game situations is critical to improving decision-making and confidence. At Legends Academy we aim to expose our athletes to game play early and often – whether that’s through game-based practices, internal tournaments or participating in external competitions.
