What our Soccer Sprout families are saying...

...we do more than "just soccer." We focus on the social and emotional development of your child. Making a positive impact in the lives of your children is our favorite part of what we do!

From a Sprout Grandma - “I wanted to thank you for all you do with the kiddos and the program.  my oldest started soccer at age 4 and it was just ‘mob/magnet ball’.  It wasn’t until middle school that he started learning skills.  You have such intuitive ways that you work with kids. Well done and thank you for all you do.”

“I wanted to say that we have been really impressed with the Soccer Sprouts program! Our son G is 6, and this is his first time with playing soccer, other than randomly kicking the ball around with kids at school etc. He is loving it! My husband and I are so impressed with the organization/structure/approach to teaching the concepts and skills! It’s amazing to see how much all of the kids grow in their skills from week to week, truly. G is having fun, and really grabbing on to the concepts quickly, it’s fun to see him enjoy it. Neither my husband or I ever played soccer, so we are new to all of this. :-) Coach Keyera and Coach Mia have been great with the kids as well! Coach Key in particular has a great way of teaching and and both of them are really encouraging.” - J.R.

“Coach Becky, I just wanted to let you know how impressed I have been with soccer sprouts! The coaches are all interactive and happy to be there with the children. My older child has been in a lot of sports with different teams/companies and soccer sprouts really stands out! Thank you for putting this on and finding such a great team to teach the kids. - K.W.

“Just wanted to let you know that my daughter has not stopped talking about last weeks session, she absolutely loved it and is insanely excited to come again tonight! You are so amazing with the little kids, they had an absolute blast. Thank you for doing all of this, this is such an amazing starting point for these little future soccer stars to get them to love the sport and learn some basics. I can’t imagine all the work that goes into running and organizing all of this, and I have been super impressed by the communication and organization of everything so far! I’m very appreciative of all the hard work that goes into running this program so that these kids can have an amazing experience. We will definitely be a returning customer in the future and will highly recommend your program to other parents as well!” - K.U.

“ I wanted to pass along with just HOW GREAT Coach Carl (or "choach" as Bo referred to him) was. I was always so impressed with his kindness and patience for all the little sprouts! It blew me away.” - M.K.

“We just wanted to say how amazing Coach Nikki is! She is so extremely patient and positive. With kids this young it would be easy to become frustrated, but she always welcomes the kids back on the field and encourages them to keep going. She does a nice job of keeping them engaged and explaining the games. She has been the perfect first coach for our son H and has given him a positive experience. Thank you for providing this opportunity!” - A. B.

“I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for everything you do and for being such a positive part of E’s life. E really loves you (which I think you could have probably gathered since she is always trying to stand RIGHT next to you for activities 😂) and it has helped our very shy and apprehensive child to come out of her shell a lot more. I’m sure you are not thanked enough for all you do for the kids but from the bottom of our hearts, thank you! You are such a light in our daughter’s life and she looks forward to seeing Coach Becky every week!” - K.L.

“My 3 year old does soccer sprouts with you at Boys and Girls club on Wednesday mornings, at Empower campus.... Today I got him dressed and put a head band on. He instantly told me "I'm coach Becky now", he then proceeded to go find his brother and say "look B I'm coach Becky, now sit on the stage it's time for soccer". My husband and I died laughing. Thanks again for all you do, my kids look forward to soccer every Wednesday!” - C.P.

“Our son, E, was in Soccer Sprouts this year, and he had very much fun! His coach was Mikey, and E really liked him. I thought Mikey did a great job! Just wanted to thank you and Mikey for this good experience!” - A.K.

“I wanted to send you an email saying THANK YOU for such a positive, wonderful program in the SF area! We have been so impressed with the program. I am a pediatric occupational therapist in Sioux Falls, so watching a program that is developmentally, socially, and physically appropriate for these kiddos was wonderful. And, I recommend my OT kiddos to head your direction because of it! Thanks again, keep it up!” - S.J.

"Your program is awesome and I am thankful for the opportunity that Ella had to learn things about soccer from you, at the convenience of you coming to daycare, and not taking more time out of our lives! I know we will be able to build on her skills that she has learned from you to succeed in whatever sport she chooses to pursue!" - D.A.

"... I just wanted to thank you for providing such a wonderful opportunity for my son, who has a social uniqueness that is often overlooked, ignored or made fun of. He came away from every session with pride for accomplishing something, whether it be a goal or winning a game. My husband and I are grateful for your program." - J.M.

 "My husband and I could not say enough good things about the first practice. We were not sure Sawyer was going to be into the whole running, sporty thing. However, she totally enjoyed it and loved you. You are so good at making it fun for the kiddos. Thanks for loving and teaching them." - D.W.

"Thank you so much for offering this sprouts program. My girls love that it’s fast paced with lots of different activities and have really enjoyed it. your program has definitely helped plant the soccer bug in Madison and I think she will love it for years to come..." - D.H.

"You are awesome!! ... I can't thank you enough! We have a calendar up now counting down the days for soccer to start! That's a huge thanks to you and your great coaches!!" - J.R.

"Thanks for always being great! We truly appreciate you and aiden talks about Coach Becky and ‘when is soccer’ DAILY! No joke! You have helped create a learning, listening to direction and expanding maturity environment. Thank you!" -K.L

 "You and your coaches are so wonderful with the kids and our family just wanted to tell you thank you all! Atticus is excited to play again soon. We always recommend and speak highly of your program to our friends with young kids—the listening, confidence, teamwork and of course soccer skills you teach help kids in so many aspects of their lives." - E.B.

 "She is LOVING Soccer Sprouts! :) She has a joint disorder (hypermobility) that causes her to not be very coordinated. We've even noticed a change in her since starting soccer! Plus, she loves it...so win-win!" - K.H.
