A sticky spheres model to describe slow dynamics of a non-equilibrium system is proposed. The dynamical slowing down is due to the presence of entropy barriers. We present an exact mean field analysis of the model and demonstrate that there is a non-equilibrium phase transition from an exponential cluster size distribution to a powerlaw.
