Competitive Program

The FL Premier FC Competitive Program is designed for Boys and Girls ages U8–U19. The Competitive Program provides a positive environment for players who demonstrate the necessary talent, skill, commitment, good sportsmanship, and desire to continue to develop and compete at the highest levels.

It requires travel to local, regional, or out-of-state games and tournaments for players and their families. Individual teams compete at various levels depending on the competitive needs of the players involved.

Competitive teams are formed in the spring of each year through open tryouts and evaluations. Players are accepted to their team from July 1 to June 30th the following year, but are committed to a ten-month playing season (August 1 – May 31).
