Our Story

built by players for players

Spark Player Development was founded by a group of players and coaches who saw a gap in traditional soccer training. They set out to design a soccer training program that was player-centered, focussed on developing both technique and awareness, and provided players with the resources to continue to improve and learn between sessions.

A love for the beautiful game

I founded Spark Player Development in 2021 as a way to share my love for the beautiful game. I find it extremely rewarding to share my knowledge with the next generation, to help players grow, and to give back to the game that has given me so much.

I’ve been playing soccer at a high level for a few years now, and it’s pretty rare to be trained by someone as knowledgeable and excellent as Jack. His love and passion for the game make every session fun and enjoyable. He always challenges you and pushes you to your limits.

Great session with Coach Jack! He worked on the exact areas of training that I wanted to work on, and the session was fun and challenging. Looking forward to the next one!

Jack is an amazing trainer who cares about getting you better! I haven’t played soccer in a couple years and training with him got me motivated to play again and in only a couple sessions got me back to where I left off.
