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.

Coach Jack has been great. He is coaching my two boys who are 4 and 8 and they are doing great and enjoying the private sessions. I would recommend coach Jack especially for younger kids who are just starting and learning the fundamentals of the game.

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.

Our son loved his session with Coach Jack and immediately asked to do it again! We couldn’t have been more pleased with how the lesson went and our child’s response to it. Absolutely worth it & highly recommend!
