South Orlando Soccer Club

What ages and program levels does South Orlando Soccer Club offer?Recreational development serves children from about age 3 through middle school, including a middle-school recreational division. Competitive teams run from Pre-Academy (U9–U10) and Academy (U11–U12) into U13–U19 tiers with Green, White/Grey, Premier, and boys Pre-ECNL-RL and ECNL-RL options. The Developmental Bridge Team is for recreational players roughly 7–12 years old who want extra training toward competitive soccer.

Where does South Orlando Soccer Club train and play games?Recreational practice sites are Barber Park or Young Pine Community Park, but every recreational game is on Saturday mornings at Barber Park. ECNL-RL and Premier teams primarily train at Young Pine Community Park, with Airport Lakes Park and Barber Park used as auxiliary fields. The main field is 5201 Young Pine Road, Orlando, Florida 32829, and the mailing address is 4409 Hoffner Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32812, Suite 122.

When are tryouts or registration, and how do families sign up?Each season, recreational and competitive families register through GotSport using the program links SOSC opens for that registration window. Competitive tryouts use the club’s GotSport tryout registration; age-group schedules and staggered times are set each cycle at Young Pine Community Park, so confirm your slot with club operations after signing up. Spring recreational registration is offered each year with key calendar milestones such as fields opening for training, a first game date, spring break blackouts, and a season finale—exact dates shift annually.

What do registration and tryout-related programs cost?Spring recreational registration is $225 per player and bundles weekly professional Coerver training plus core uniform pieces. Developmental Bridge discovery nights are free; players invited into DBT pay $115 per season for the supplemental training. Competitive tryout signup is handled in GotSport—ask Club Operations if a tryout deposit applies to the cycle you are entering.

What does a full competitive season cost at South Orlando Soccer Club?Club tuition depends on the competitive band: Pre-Academy $1,325, Academy $1,525, Pre-ECNL-RL $1,650, Green or White/Grey $1,900, Premier $1,900, and ECNL-RL $2,200. Each total combines a $250 registration line with the remaining club fee. Tournament travel, showcase travel, and team budgets are additional and collected through team managers. Nike kit purchases through United World Soccer are separate and follow the club’s two-year uniform cycle.

What is the club’s philosophy and player-development approach?SOSC blends community-based recreational soccer with professionally coached competitive pathways. Coerver methods anchor recreational skills work, while competitive teams follow a structured curriculum under licensed coaches. Higher tiers add strength and conditioning, positional training, goalkeeper sessions, match video for development and recruiting, and college-support resources for Premier and ECNL-RL families. The club may adjust playing levels during the season so each athlete lands in an environment that supports growth and love for the game.
