“I have been working with PESAKids and Coach Dan for over eight years and I can’t say enough good things about them. Coach Dan and Coach Rod have been familiar faces around Lightbridge Academy for years and the energy and excitement they bring to every class are unmatched.
The kids absolutely light up when they walk in! On a personal note, two of my three boys have been part of the PESAKids program, and it’s been amazing to see how their confidence, coordination and love for all things sports have grown. Coach Evan is another fantastic addition to their team – kind, patient and full of that same enthusiasm!
All the PESAKids coaches are great – they bring so much positivity, patience and fun to every session and it shows in how much the kids adore them! Highly, highly recommend.”

“We have been using PESA at Lightbridge Academy of Mahwah for many years. I can confidently say that partnering with Dan and his team has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our center. The PESA Team is incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with. Communication is always clear, scheduling is flexible, and their instructors are reliable and energetic. The children here in Mahwah absolutely love Sports and Soccer days! Every class is fun, active, and perfectly tailored to our age group. The coaches bring such a positive, encouraging energy that keeps every child engaged, moving, and smiling from start to finish. Parents have also shared how much their children talk about the program at home and look forward to “sports and soccer day” each week. We cannot recommend PESA enough, as they become one of our “staple” extracurriculars here in Mahwah!”

“Partnering with PESAKids has been a total game changer for our school. They’re incredibly easy to work with—professional, reliable, respectful, and always transparent. Their coaches build genuine connections with our families, and their classes are nonstop fun, highly engaging, and packed with learning through play. After working with several sports programs over the years, PESA stands out as the best we’ve ever had.
They consistently rank as one of our top extracurriculars out of all six we offer and our kids can’t get enough! If you’re looking for a sports program that delivers exceptional experiences with zero stress, PESAKids is the team you want on your side!”

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE everything about PESAKids!!! Best program for our school in the categories of communication, consistency, ease of registration, cost, work ethic and energy level of coaches, etc. I cannot say enough about this program. The kids and teachers love it and they enjoy participating each week!”

“I love your program and Coach Evan! I love that I saw him giving great general directions to the group then giving great individualized critiques to each child after. The kids are engaged and constantly active. Parents are happy with the program and teachers notice advancements in the children’s gross motor skills with a well-rounded program being implemented.”

“Our experience with PESAKids has been exceptional from day one. Their team handles everything with professionalism — from communication to weekly coordination — which makes the entire program effortless for our school.
What truly sets them apart is how naturally they connect with the children. You can see the excitement on the kids’ faces when the coaches walk in.
The sessions are structured, energetic, and developmentally meaningful. Our teachers often comment on how smooth the transitions are and how well the coaches manage group dynamics.
As a school director, I value programs that are reliable, consistent, and genuinely beneficial to our families. PESAKids checks all of those boxes and more. We’re thrilled to have them as part of our weekly schedule.”
— Morris County Preschool Director
“Our students absolutely thrive in the PESAKids program! From day one, the coaches made them feel motivated and excited to learn. Not only have I seen major improvement in their skills and confidence, but I’ve also watched them develop teamwork, discipline, and a genuine love for staying active. The atmosphere is positive, encouraging, and perfectly designed for kids 2 and a half and up. I can’t recommend this sports program enough—it’s been one of the best decisions we’ve made bringing them into KinderCare Woodcliff Lake!”

“PESAKids has been wonderful to work with. They are great with kids and do an amazing job engaging children of all ages. They are always on time, professional, and very flexible with scheduling, which makes planning so much easier.
I also really appreciate how well they adjust to whatever space is provided, making the most of it and keeping everything organized and fun. I highly recommend it!”

“PESAKids is an incredible addition to our school community. Coach Evan is absolutely amazing; he is kind, knowledgeable, respectful, and truly gifted at connecting with children. Coach Dan and Coach Rodrigo bring that same level of energy and professionalism whenever they support our campus. Their commitment to checking in and ensuring the program runs smoothly does not go unnoticed, together they create a supportive environment where every child can thrive.
Our students are learning so much more than sports. Even our shy and hesitant children, the ones whose parents weren’t sure how they’d do, come out of their shell with confidence. The students look forward to every session, and it’s clear they’re developing teamwork, resilience, emotional maturity, and a strong sense of self.
We are truly grateful for the positive impact PESAKids has had on our campus. They consistently create an environment where every child feels welcomed, supported, and motivated to participate. Their influence on our students’ growth and confidence is evident, and we deeply appreciate the meaningful work they do. We look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership.”

“Working with Dan and PESAKids has been nothing but a positive experience. The coaches are kind, patient, and well-trained. I especially appreciate that PESAKids offers incentives for directors...being thought of, as directors are often overlooked. After working with many soccer vendors, PESAKids is hands-down my go-to!”
— Morris County Preschool Director
“We have had excellent experiences with the program every season!!! The children and families have enjoyed having it right here at school because the coaches are energetic and positive and work at a level that is developmentally appropriate. It is right here at school, so it is also convenient!! As the director of the school, the communication is also excellent!!
We have the program that is various sports, so it provides a fantastic introduction to all of them!!”
