grow your facility
how to get your first sphere practice off the ground
whether you’re a captain working inside a facility or the owner ready to launch sphere, growth starts with one thing — getting your first practice going. once the ball’s rolling, community, consistency, and revenue all follow.
start with a head captain
every facility needs a leader — someone responsible for all things sphere. that person manages programming, schedules, and ensures the energy and standard stay high. once your head captain is in place, run your first class fast. the sooner you start, the faster you build community and momentum.
build your starting 11
use the starting 11 guide in the locker room to recruit your first team — the core group that fills your class, creates energy, and spreads the word. treat them like your family. they’re your ambassadors on and off the field.
create consistency
set two classes per week as your base schedule. consistency builds loyalty. start with our signature soccer fitness or sphere 45 class — it stands out, attracts new faces, and introduces the full sphere experience.
activate your community
add our three signature monthly events to your calendar:
first thursday: no-shower happy hour — play, connect, and hang out together.
17th event: a themed social that lets you get creative and expand visibility.
soleful sunday: a health + wellness day — walk, stretch, or try something new.
these touchpoints keep your community engaged and help new players feel connected.
build memberships
drop-ins are great for discovery, but memberships build retention. monthly commitments create recurring revenue and loyal teammates who treat your facility like home.
take care of your captains
your captains are the heartbeat of your facility. reward them — with shirts, perks, or membership credits — and empower them to lead with pride. a strong starting 11 creates culture, connection, and long-term growth.
the takeaway
launch your first class. stay consistent. market your experiences.
sphere grows through connection — one pass, one practice, one community at a time.
