HappyFeet Legends Franchise Information
| HappyFeet is a preschool soccer program with franchises all around the country. We offer a unique approach to soccer training, using nursery rhymes, songs and games to promote a fun and positive learning environment. Coaches travel to preschools and offer classes at a convenient time for the schools. This allows parents to enroll their children in an extracurricular activity during the day, which leaves evenings free for family time.
Franchise Locations are currently available! We are looking for energetic, positive men and women with a passion for working with children! We have positions all over the country, please email us for more information! |
HappyFeet-Legends franchise offerings include Owner/Operators, Absent Owners (Investors), Area Developers. Our franchise support team, support structure, and systems are dynamic enough to make franchise ownership work for a variety of situations.

Furthermore, soccer is the most complete sport for all around physical and psychological development. |

| How many youth soccer players are there in the U.S.? Soccer participation in the United States grew nearly 15 percent s from 1987 to 2002. In 1987, there were 15,388,000 players on adult and youth soccer teams in the U.S. By 2002, there were 17,641,000 players on teams. By contrast, basketball saw only a 2.4 percent increase in team participation, while baseball actually experienced a decrease in team play (31.1 percent decrease), as did touch football (26.6 percent decrease).The Timing Is Right For HappyFeet-Legends Preschool, Mother’s Day Out and Day Care numbers have never been higher due to the rising number of families where both parents work. It has been proven that starting kids out in sports early gives them a head start. The Tiger Woods head start phenomenon has given parents a positive perspective on earlier sport specific training. Soccer is perhaps the only competitive high school and college sport that can be effectively pursued in a sport specific manner as a 2 or 3 year old. Soccer appeals to young boys and girls in almost equal measure making every young child and parent potential customers. The growth in public perception that all sports activities have to be organized fuels demand for structured HappyFeet-Legends style instruction and coaching. Parents are reluctant to allow their children unsupervised free play due to the risk and fear of abduction, danger etc. This growing parental trait of protectiveness results in greater enrollment in early sports programs. The growing epidemic of childhood obesity is now affecting preschool age children. In May of 2003 these study results were presented at the Pediatric Academic Sciences meeting in Seattle. Even preschoolers are becoming obese. A new study shows that many toddlers at age 3 are too heavy for their age. By age 10, a significant number are obese, with early symptoms of diabetes. On April 4, 2007, RWJF announced its commitment to invest $500 million to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. |
