id=\"little-kickers-barcelona\"><strong>Little Kickers Barcelona<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Little Kickers was started in England in 2002 by Christine Stanschus in search of a soccer program for her 3-year-old son.\nHer priority was to <strong>build a brand based on the &#8220;fun first&#8221; philosophy,<\/strong> making sure to work with <strong>both child development experts <\/strong>and <strong>qualified coaches from the English soccer association<\/strong>.\nToday, with a team of 2250 coaches and 300 franchises in 32 countries, it is the <strong>largest and most successful children&#8217;s soccer program in the world. <\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n<p>In 2022 <strong>Little Kickers<\/strong> arrived <strong>in Barcelona<\/strong> thanks to<strong> Daniel Garc\u00eda<\/strong>.\nDani, with whom we had the pleasure to talk, is passionate about sports, but mainly about soccer, he started playing it from a very young age, at 5 or 6 years old, and it has been with him throughout his life.   <\/p>\n\n<p>After 24 years playing it, he had to quit because he started to travel and, after living in the United States and Latin America, he settled in London.\nLooking for a change in his life and combining his passion for sports and his experience in the business world, he studied a Master&#8217;s Degree in Sports Management. <\/p>\n\n<p>In London she worked in the Physical Education Department of a secondary school, also for a Sports Charity doing camps for children with autism, and then, she met Little Kickers.  <\/p>\n\n<p>He started working as a coach on weekends and ended up falling in love with the project: &#8220;It&#8217;s something very new, it&#8217;s an introduction to soccer-based sports project for children in English.\nI love the project because it <strong>follows a philosophy, a methodology, a know-how, which is very appropriate for children of such a young age<\/strong>.\nAbove all, what I love the most is that <strong>apart from giving them an introduction to the sport in a fun way, it helps them develop their motor skills<\/strong>&#8220;.    <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

focusing on improving skills such as balance, coordination, but mentioning that it not only improves physical health, but also mental and emotional health.\nAt the same time, he highlights the values that soccer teaches, from teamwork to respect, sharing, respecting turns.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Upon returning to Barcelona, and noticing that Little Kickers did not exist there, he decided to open a franchise to bring the project he fell in love with to his hometown.\nOn September 17, 2022, the first Little Kickers class began in Barcelona.   <\/p>\n\n<p>One of the main mottos of Little Kickers, which differentiates it from other soccer schools for children, is <strong>&#8220;Learning Through Play&#8221;,<\/strong> <strong>the focus is on fun for the children, while they play, have fun and have a good time, they are learning both English and soccer.<\/strong> Dani comments that they usually do color recognition games, or every week they do a different theme, adapting the classes to this particular theme.\nBut the main differential of Little Kickers is that it <strong>combines the learning of the English language with sports and fun. <\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<h4

At the age of 17 he made his debut in the first territorial division and was on the verge of signing in the first division, but a serious injury prevented him from doing so.\nAt the age of 21 he stopped playing professionally and dedicated himself to the business world, although he continued playing at amateur level until he was 33 years old.   <\/p>\n\n<p>At that time he started as a soccer coach, until he started in PB Barcino with Alevines for three years.\nMotivated by the philosophy of the club and the atmosphere, after the request of several parents and carried by the illusion and the desire, at 50 years old, he began to preside the club to date.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Tom\u00e1s has a great interest in sports, especially soccer training and mentions that the club has always been formative.\nCurrently PB Barcino has <strong>more than a thousand children every year<\/strong>, of which a little more than 10% end up in clubs or entities with the philosophy of competing.   <\/p>\n\n<p>In turn, Tom\u00e1s mentions &#8220;If someone says he plays a sport or soccer and does not compete, he is lying.\nEveryone competes, we compete every moment of the day, be it at work, be it in individual or non-individual sports.<strong> What comes with team sports is that it socializes you and you don&#8217;t play alone.<\/strong> But we have a phrase that I think defines it all very quickly, which is, <strong>if we win, we have a party and if we lose, we have a party too<\/strong>.&#8221;
