About Lil’ Strikers

Having a ball starts with having a ball!

We know kids. And for 20 plus years we’ve led the pack in teaching them important life skills through soccer. We keep it fun. We keep it age-appropriate. We stay true to our roots, yet keep evolving. We help toddlers to 12-year-olds develop a love for the game… and so much more.

Step onto the field during any Lil’ Strikers class and you will find it transformed into a world created just for your child. Our well trained coaches will thrill your child with 50 minutes of highly creative, high energy and age-appropriate activities that serve as a great introduction to soccer, and help children master developmental milestones, appropriate for their age.

What inspires us at Lil’ Strikers? Kids! Plain and simple: we are a family business. When we started Lil’ Strikers in 2010 we wanted to build a kids’ program that was fundamentally sound and outrageously fun. What we started in our three Arena Sports indoor soccer facilities in Seattle, Washington, has now grown into an international franchise with more than 100 locations in 27 states and provinces, with a total enrollment of over 1,000,000 kids and growing!

How did we do it? By starting with the experts. Using world renowned child development theories, child development professionals, experienced coaches and the expertise that comes along with thousands of hours of working with children, we created a curriculum that introduces kids to soccer and so much more. Our program helps develop a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive skills while providing physical exercise and developing players who are good sports and good teammates — on and off the soccer field.

What do we believe?

• We believe childhood is a magical time full of possibilities.
• We believe in approaching everything from a developmental perspective.
• We believe learning should be fun.
• We believe in creating space for all children whether they are on the road to all-star soccer or simply just want to play.

Each facility operating a Lil’ Strikers program has gone through rigorous training to make sure your child is getting the best instruction possible. We also continually evaluate our program to ensure that our curriculum is of the highest quality.

Our schedule is built around yours — registration is always open.

For more than 20 years we have had the privilege of teaching soccer our way to more than a million kids across North America.
