At Mini Strikers Academy, we believe soccer is more than a game—it’s a way to help young children grow in confidence, teamwork, and joy. Founded with a passion for both early childhood education and the sport, Mini Strikers Academy was created to provide preschoolers with a consistent, high-quality enrichment program that feels personal, engaging, and fun.

Unlike larger companies where coaches rotate in and out, we pride ourselves on consistency. Children learn from the same trusted coach each week, building stronger connections and feeling supported as they grow. With a background in early childhood education, we understand not just the sport, but how to meet children where they are developmentally—whether it’s building gross motor skills, encouraging emotional regulation, or fostering teamwork.

Our soccer curriculum is fully customizable to align with each preschool’s themes and goals, ensuring every lesson connects to what children are already learning in the classroom. This means no cookie-cutter programming—just thoughtful, year-round activities that keep kids excited and engaged.

Mini Strikers Academy is proud to pilot at The Gardner School of Lake Elmo school, and we’re excited to bring the program to more preschools and communities across Minnesota.
