FALL RECREATIONAL PROGRAM IS NOW OPEN - NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM IN PLACE!
The Florida Elite Recreational Program is a fun filled soccer program for ALL players, Boys and Girls from 4-19 years of age. The Florida Elite Soccer Academy Recreational Program is primarily devoted to the enjoyment and development of youth soccer players. The purpose of recreational soccer is to provide an opportunity for the participants to have fun, learn the sport, develop life skills and discover a love for the game. Prior soccer experience is not required and there is no tryout. We encourage players that are NEW to the game to come on out and have some fun.
The Fall Recreational Program runs 10-12 weeks for U5-U14 and 8-10 weeks for U15-U19. The Spring Recreational Program typically runs 10-12 weeks for all ages. Practices take place once a week for U5-U10 teams and twice a week for U11-U19 teams. Every team will have between 8-10 games per season and games are primarily on Saturday mornings and afternoons, but may occasionally take place on other days due to weather rescheduling. All teams are coached by a volunteer coach.
