About Competitive Soccer
The FL Premier FC (FPFC) 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 (10-month) playing season (1 August – 31 May).
Introducing our newest offering at Florida Premier FC: Pre-Competitive U7! Designed for boys and girls born in 2018 and 2019, this program is the perfect stepping stone for young players eager to explore soccer in a structured, yet nurturing environment.
With two weekly training sessions and an exciting 4v4 match each week, Pre-Competitive U7 strikes the ideal balance between skill development and game experience. It’s a more accessible option, bridging the gap between introductory programs like Happyfeet and the intensity of competitive U8 soccer.
Our focus is on individual player growth, ensuring that every participant hones their skills and builds confidence on the field. The curriculum, carefully crafted by our esteemed academy director Jeff Thwaites, guarantees a comprehensive learning experience tailored to each child’s needs.
Join us as we embark on this exciting journey of soccer discovery and development!

Each session begins with a mini-class skill introduction session and is then followed by a non-competitive soccer game. The session structure and included components are offered for ages 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, and 7 & 8.
