Chargers Soccer Club

What ages and program levels does Chargers Soccer Club offer at the Clearwater campus?Clearwater runs recreational soccer from about age four through teen and adult-oriented recreational options, plus competitive programming for players about seven through nineteen. Competitive paths include academy tiers from about U7 through U12, Pre-MLS for U9 through U12, and Select, Premier, and Elite teams from about U13 through U19, with MLS NEXT programming available at the club level for players who earn those placements.

Where do Clearwater teams train and play?Clearwater home training and matches use Countryside Sports Plex and Eddie C. Moore Soccer Fields.

When are competitive tryouts and how do families register?Clearwater competitive tryouts begin May 1, with full age-group schedules set each spring before players report. Registration for that campus tryout cycle runs in GotSport; email support@chargerssoccer.com if you need the active tryout program. Across the club, tryout windows usually last about one to two weeks in early May.

How does the Pre-MLS program connect to MLS NEXT?Pre-MLS is the club’s U9 through U12 advanced track, with four weekly trainings, individual development plans, Florida Academy League play, and West Florida Premier League–style competition that mirrors elite demands. It is built to prepare players for MLS NEXT entry at U13 and older, where Chargers fields MLS NEXT and MLS Next II academy-style boys teams in the teen age bands.

What is the club’s mission and coaching approach?Chargers emphasizes a supportive culture, fair play, teamwork, and love of the game while still running high-level competitive training. MLS NEXT programming at Chargers adds mental, emotional, social, and tactical development alongside physical and technical work.
