What ages and program levels does Florida Premier FC offer?HappyFeet serves roughly ages one and a half through six, Pre-Competitive U7 bridges into structured soccer, and competitive travel programming runs U8 through U19 with academy-style work at U8–U10, 9v9 emphasis at U11–U12, and full eleven-a-side tracks at U13–U19 including ECNL and ECNL Regional League where players earn those placements. Rec+ recreational soccer covers about ages six through high school with professionally coached local games, and the club also runs TOPSoccer, futsal, supplemental training, camps, UPSL, and international travel options for families who want those add-ons.
Where does the club train and play?Florida Premier FC operates multiple campuses across the Tampa Bay region and beyond, including Trinity, Tarpon Springs, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, Ocala, Hernando County, Brooksville, Lakewood Ranch, Lee County, and Temple Terrace. Rec+ keeps all games at neighborhood parks in communities such as Land O’ Lakes, Ocala, Trinity, and Wesley Chapel, with session dates varying by location each season.
When are competitive tryouts and how does registration work?Tryouts for the next competitive cycle target boys and girls U8–U19 and begin May 1 each year once registration opens. Final schedules and times are set per campus as the tryout window approaches; players who register receive the detailed instructions as staff finalize them. Families can also explore one-on-one evaluations or club clinics when those programs are offered.
What does Rec+ recreational soccer cost and what is included?Summer Rec+ pricing has been structured at $189 when families register before May 15 and $209 at the regular rate afterward, with uniforms purchased separately through the club’s soccer.com kit on a two-year cycle. Each session typically includes about thirty minutes of technical training followed by a forty-five-minute 7v7 match. Registration runs through PlayMetrics when the season is open.
How long is the competitive season and how are teams formed?Competitive teams are built each spring through open tryouts. Accepted players align to a July-through-June membership window while the on-field competitive season runs August 1 through May 31—about ten months of league and tournament play with travel scaling by team level. Coaches evaluate technical, tactical, physical, and psychological traits during tryouts to place players on appropriate rosters.
What leagues and elite pathways does Florida Premier FC use?Younger academy teams often compete in CDL or USA leagues, U11–U12 groups add Pre-ECNL and NPL Dev schedules among other options, and U13–U19 teams rotate through ECNL, ECNL Regional League, NPL, Florida Premier League, CDL, and additional competitive calendars with showcases and tournaments. ECNL and ECNL Regional League programming follows the national platform standards for training volume, competition, and holistic player development.
