sphere™ trademark usage guide

last updated august 13th, 2025

the sphere™ trademarks are core assets of sphere club, llc and should always be treated with care. people around the world rely on our trademarks to identify our soccer-inspired fitness programs, classes, and products and distinguish them from competitors. as creators and leaders in adult group soccer fitness, we take pride in our programs and work relentlessly to improve them.

if our trademarks became "generic," they would lose their ability to signal sphere™ as the exclusive source of these experiences. this could lead to confusion and misuse. we ask that you help us protect sphere™ by using our marks correctly and avoiding confusion. questions about proper trademark use can be sent to letskickit@sphere.club.

the word sphere™

the word sphere™ is unique to us and identifies our soccer-inspired fitness programs, community experiences, and related products. it should only indicate the source of our programs and never be used to describe unrelated products or services.

sphere™ trademarks

our trademarks include, but are not limited to:

sphere™, powa™, playagreatame™, logo sphere™, sphere™ class series. we also hold rights to variations, logos, and brand marks worldwide. proper use of our trademarks helps distinguish our programs from others, prevents consumer confusion, and protects the integrity of the brand.

only licensed sphere™ coaches, facilities, and partners may use our trademarks. licensees must follow their agreements and these guidelines. if you see misuse or unauthorized use, please contact letskickit@sphere.club immediately.
