Florida Premier FC

New Port Richey, Florida

About

Florida Premier FC is a full-service Tampa Bay youth soccer club rooted in a multi-campus footprint that includes Pasco and Pinellas communities such as New Port Richey, Trinity, and Land O’ Lakes, plus additional training hubs across Central and Southwest Florida. The organization traces back to 1979 and today supports thousands of families, more than three hundred competitive teams, and programming from introductory HappyFeet work for toddlers through high-school-age travel, ECNL platforms, college-prep resources, camps, and specialty offerings such as TOPSoccer and futsal.

What the club offers

Rec+ recreational soccer keeps every match at a local park with no travel weekends, led by licensed professional coaches rather than an all-volunteer model. Sessions blend a technical block with small-sided games so players get repetition and game minutes in one outing. Competitive programming begins with Pre-Competitive U7—two trainings plus a weekly 4v4 match for the youngest bracket stepping up from introductory soccer—then moves into Youth Academy U8–U10 with twice-weekly training, 7v7 play, and fall-through-spring league work in CDL or USA leagues plus tournaments. U11–U12 teams train two or three times per week in a 9v9 format and compete in Pre-ECNL, NPL Dev, CDL, and other competitive calendars. U13–U19 sides train two to four times weekly and can advance through ECNL, ECNL Regional League, NPL, Florida Premier League, CDL, and additional competitive schedules with showcase and tournament exposure. Boys and girls ECNL and ECNL Regional League pathways anchor the top of the girls program and the elite boys track alongside the club’s broader league mix.

Seasons, tryouts, and registration rhythm

Competitive teams form each spring through open tryouts and evaluations. The playing year for accepted players runs July 1 through June 30 with a ten-month competitive season from August 1 to May 31 that pairs league play with travel as appropriate for each team level. Tryouts for boys and girls U8–U19 open for registration ahead of a May 1 start each cycle, with campus-specific schedules finalized as the window approaches; registered families receive updated times and locations as staff lock them in. Rec+ and many other enrollments run through PlayMetrics when programs are open, including seasonal early-bird savings when the club promotes them for a given block.

Training sites and regional reach

Home training and games spread across club campuses such as Trinity, Tarpon Springs, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, Ocala, Hernando County, Brooksville, Lakewood Ranch, Lee County, Temple Terrace, and related hubs—families choose the campus that fits their commute. Rec+ currently highlights Land O’ Lakes, Ocala, Trinity, and Wesley Chapel among its community locations, with session dates set each season.

Player development philosophy

Evaluations emphasize technical comfort, tactical awareness, physical speed and strength, and psychological traits such as communication, coachability, and sportsmanship. Competitive training stresses skillful, possession-oriented, and attacking soccer while still demanding commitment, good conduct, and steady improvement. The club also invests in college-facing tools, alumni showcases like the Spring Showcase, and partnerships that support athlete health and performance off the field.
