Florida Kraze Krush (FKK) is a large Central Florida youth soccer club rooted in the Oviedo and Winter Springs corridor, with an administrative office in Winter Springs. Scale on the field includes more than 1,650 players, about 68 competitive teams, broad recreational and developmental team volume, more than 50 staff members, and upward of 400 college commitments among alumni. Programming is built as one ladder from introductory ages through elite national league play.
The youngest players can start in Minis for two- and three-year-olds (birth years 2022 and 2023 in the current season framing), then move into First Touch and Developmental (FTD) as they grow. Recreational soccer covers roughly U9 through U19 for birth years 2017 through 2007/08, mixing in-house co-ed formats for many younger and some older groups with local Saturday-style scheduling, while U13–U19 recreational teams also compete in the Greater Central Florida Youth Soccer League with weekend games split between home and away. Competitive tracks include PreSelect and Junior Select, Senior Select, and top platforms such as ECNL and ECNL Regional League, plus NPL and color-tiered select levels that sit under one competitive department. TOPS serves players with disabilities. Adult league coordination exists for older players in the family. College-bound select athletes receive recruiting exposure, tailored development planning, and guidance from dedicated recruiting staff.
The mission centers on developing complete players and teams in a safe environment across the four pillars of the game, with core values of safety, integrity, trust, and development. Coaches aim to challenge athletes physically, mentally, tactically, and psychologically while reinforcing positive character. Winning trophies is not the sole focus; the club stresses lifelong skills on and off the field. Second teams are treated as a full part of the model—depth, internal competition, and leadership opportunities—not an afterthought to a single top team. FKK operates as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3); donations and sponsorships help fund enhanced scholarships and keep costs manageable for families where possible.
Professional coaches and trainers deliver age-appropriate, level-based sessions. In cooperation with Spectrum Sports Performance (SSP), families have access to strength and conditioning, nutritional guidance, and injury-prevention support tied to athletic development. In-house recreational games for many age bands use Shane Kelly Park or Central Winds Park on a predictable weekend window. Minis sessions run at Central Winds Park in Winter Springs and Long Lake Park in Oviedo. Older recreational teams that travel within the GCF league may see occasional matches toward communities such as Cocoa or Ocala depending on scheduling. ECNL identification clinics for players who are not already in FKK use Central Winds Park upper fields on scheduled spring dates each cycle.
Most online registration flows run through PlayMetrics, including recreational, Minis, and ECNL ID clinic signups. Spring recreational registration uses an early enrollment rate around $275 when families complete signup by mid-December and a regular rate around $300 after that deadline. A full recreational uniform kit from the club’s soccer.com partner runs about $136.49 and includes two game jerseys, one game or practice short, two pairs of game socks, and one training shirt. Minis charges about $80 per child for a six-week block with one session per week at the listed Oviedo or Winter Springs locations. Competitive tryout timing and select-team instructions change by season; families should use the club’s PlayMetrics entry points for the program they want or call and email the soccer operations and age-group contacts for the current evaluation calendar.

How do tryouts, ECNL ID clinics, and registration work?Families register most programs through PlayMetrics.
