Our Local Legends League is designed to bring instructional soccer to the community in a way that fits your family's schedule. Enjoy knowledgeable staff coaches, local game and practice locations around the Springfield metro area, and seasonal sign ups. Future Legends Division brings our nationally recognized curriculum and philosophy and breaks it down to fit the needs and development of players ages 6-7. It is an ideal stepping stone to more competitive soccer for players coming from HappyFeet or other recreational leagues. Legends Rec offers the opportunity for players age 8-10 years to continue in an instructional program with trained coaching staff without the larger commitments of club or travel soccer.
Legends Training Academy offers a fun yet competitive soccer environment for individual and small group training where our professional coaches teach a unique system focusing on deceptive dribbling, goal scoring and individual brilliance! Our training system creates a positive environment where players are encouraged to be game changers and develop into brave, creative leaders both on and off the field.

Legends Soccer was founded with the mission to develop Brave Creative Leaders through the wonderful game of soccer. Our goal is to help our players become deceptive dribblers and legendary finishers on the field, while learning how to overcome obstacles and make decisions under pressure to succeed at any challenge, both on and off the field.
We focus on the hardest skills of the game: deceptive dribbling and goal scoring. Imagine the LEGENDS of the game: Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, Cruyff, the list goes on. All of these players are deceptive dribblers and goal scorers. You can argue who the best is, but you’d have any one of them on your roster (or all of them) in a heartbeat.
We focus on teaching an incredible technical foundation for deceptive dribbling and shooting. Once the player has this foundation, we introduce our 1v1 stage where players are asked to relentlessly attack and defend. While working on both sides of the ball, players use their newly acquired deceptive dribbling skills against increasing pressure fostering a "go for it" mentality. Players who have been encouraged to “go for it” and take risks, are those who stand the greatest chance of learning how to dribble, pass, or combine the two, to penetrate defenses and create goal scoring opportunities.
Legends training attempts to simulate street soccer conditions-- tight crowed spaces where chaos ensues and giving the ball away is not an option. Many of the world’s best soccer players learned to dribble and strike a ball in their own tiny backyards or on the streets of their hometowns.
Legends are encouraged to take risks on the field, even if they lose the ball, even if they get scored on, even if they get knocked off their feet. Players that are willing to try, fail, and then try again are more likely to develop a healthy response to adversity and failure.
We believe that character development is an integral component of training soccer Legends. The challenges and pressures found on the soccer field create the perfect environment to teach players life lessons in determination, discipline, sportsmanship, integrity, honesty, patience, confidence, bravery, leadership, composure, and more.
