About the club
What does the Little Lions Club do?
We are a first-touch soccer program for preschoolers. We come directly to our partner schools, where we teach the fundamentals of soccer via our own fun-based games and drills. Classes are composed of 8–12 players. Every class is composed of a warmup, 3 fun-based original games from our custom curriculum, and Little Lions hand stamps for the kids afterwards.
Where do you meet?
We host class at your preschool on a designated day and time each week. Ask your school which day the Little Lions come to play! All families have to do is sign up — we handle the rest in tandem with each school’s administration and staff.
What should players wear or bring?
On class days, we recommend that players wear athletic, comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes. It is recommended that either parents or teachers provide water, because each class includes several water breaks (especially on hot days).
Who can I contact for more information?
Email admin@littlelionsfitness.com and we’ll get back to you.

Registering and paying
How do families pay?
Payment is made through our website, on the registration page. Once a parent registers and pays for their player to attend preschool classes, a subscription is created and billed on a 30-day cycle, which gets you 4 classes per cycle. You can register at any time — we operate on a rolling registration basis.
Registering through your school instead? A few of our partner schools handle billing themselves. If yours is one of them, payment is made through your school — just ask your administrator how to sign up and pay. Rolling registration works the same way.
When can I register?
After your demo, you can register at any time. We operate on a rolling registration basis, so there is no season start date to wait for and no tryouts.
What about missed classes and absences?
We come year-round to your school, except for during school closures (holidays, extreme weather, etc). If your child is sick or absent, we do not issue a refund. However, if we can’t hold class due to bad weather, holidays, or school closures, we’ll make up the class during the week or on the 5th weekday of a long month.
How can parents cancel or change their subscription?
Simply email our Administrator, admin@littlelionsfitness.com, with any billing questions. Families can cancel their plans at any time, although refund requests are subject to our Cancellation/Refund policy below.
If you registered through your school, just let your school know you’d like to stop attending and they’ll handle the rest.

Customer Policies
Summarized below for easy reading — the signed policy documents (effective December 1, 2024) are the binding versions and are linked on this page on the live site.
Cancellation and refund policy (effective December 1, 2024)
When a customer registers for the Little Lions Club soccer program (“The Program”), a subscription is created for their account which bills automatically every 30 days.
It is the customer’s sole responsibility to request their own cancellations. Any non-direct cancellation request through a proxy of any kind (e.g. partner school, teacher, school coach), other than direct contact with the Program as detailed below, is an inadequate cancellation request and will not be honored.
If they choose to cancel a subscription for any reason, parents are required to email our company administrator at admin@littlelionsfitness.com and request a cancellation. The cancellation email must contain the player’s name, the name of the partner school where the student is enrolled, and the effective date of cancellation (if different from the date the notice is emailed).
Cancellation
- In order for the Program to acknowledge a customer cancellation, it must be sent to admin@littlelionsfitness.com with the above details listed.
- Customers can request a cancellation of their subscription at any time; the subscription will be cancelled within three (3) business days, and their account will no longer be charged. Their child will continue to take the remainder of classes which were paid for, if eligible.
Refunds
- Customers requesting a refund must also request a cancellation. Participants who have not requested a cancellation of the Program are not eligible for a refund or Customer Credit.
- If a customer cancels their subscription and requests a refund within three (3) business days of enrolling a player in the Program, regardless of whether the player has started the Program, all monies paid to the Club will be refunded.
- If a customer cancels their subscription and requests a refund more than three (3) business days after enrolling a player in the Program, their most recent payment will be refunded pro-rata, based on the number of classes which were attended.
- If a customer who cancels and requests a refund is requesting that multiple payments be refunded, because they did make a cancellation request in a timely fashion using the outlined guidelines above, the Program will refund their most recent subscription payment, and roll the remaining balance into a Customer Credit.
Customer Credits
- Customer Credits are awarded to a customer account when the above refund conditions are met.
- Customer Credits carry a 1:1 dollar value and can be applied — upon email request to admin@littlelionsfitness.com — at any participating Program class or event for which the Customer has an eligible player.
- Customer Credits do not expire, and can be applied to any player for whom the Customer is parent or guardian. Credits are typically non-transferable, unless specific permission is requested and granted.
- Customer Credits are kept track of internally by the Program and information about them is not made publicly available, unless a customer writes admin@littlelionsfitness.com to request their balance of Credits.
In the event that the customer has documentation proving they informed the Program of their cancellation, but was still charged after their direct request, the Program will refund the entire amount for the period they were charged. Customers must be able to provide proof of cancellation requests which were sent directly to admin@littlelionsfitness.com. Player name, partner school name, and effective date of cancellation must have been included in that email.
