Florida Soccer

What Florida Soccer does

Florida Soccer Club, legally Temple Terrace Soccer Association, Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) youth soccer organization founded in 1975 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. It operates recreational and competitive soccer programs from two main campuses — Spirit 301 Youth Sports Complex in Tampa and Krusen Park / Sam Pasco Park in Zephyrhills — serving youth players ages 2-19 across eastern Hillsborough and Pasco counties. The competitive program runs under Florida Premier FC following a December 2020 partnership, while recreational programs operate under the Spirit brand, with a separate affiliation with the Tampa Bay Rowdies professional club through the Rowdies Youth Network since 2019.

The club's product surface spans recreational league play (Tampa ages 4-12 and Zephyrhills ages 6-14), competitive travel soccer (U8-U19), entry-level programs (Happy Feet ages 2-8 and Backyard Soccer ages 3-11), seasonal summer camps and Wednesday evening sessions, and tournament hosting including the Tampa Bay Super Cup and 5v5 events. Underlying technology is light: GotSport for online registration and scheduling, PayPal for payments, and standard web/social media channels. Coaching staff includes Director of Coaching Mark Shepherd and Director of Zephyrhills Gary Blissett, a former professional at Brentford FC and Wimbledon FC with 20+ years of coaching experience in German professional and US Soccer Development Academy systems.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-player program fees ($175 recreational registration including uniform shirt, $75 summer camp, $60 for 8 evening sessions), competitive team fees, ancillary program fees, tournament hosting, and a modest roster of local sponsors. The club is governed by a volunteer board of directors, has 11-50 employees, and reports no venture capital or institutional ownership. There are no published financial statements; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Others

• FYSA (Florida Youth Soccer Association): State-level governing body affiliated with US Youth Soccer under which Florida Soccer Club's recreational and competitive teams register; relevant as the umbrella sanctioning organization rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Florida Premier FC: Florida Premier FC is the youth soccer club whose competitive umbrella Florida Soccer Club's travel teams fall under following their 2020 partnership; both have operated Tampa Bay youth soccer for 45+ years, making it the closest direct peer in geography, age range (U8–U19), and competitive tier.
• Orlando City Youth Soccer (OCYS): Orlando City SC's affiliated youth development program serving central Florida; competes in the same Florida tournament circuit (FPSL, regional cups) for the same U8–U19 talent pool and offers the same pro-club affiliation pitch.
• Chargers Soccer Club: Established Florida youth soccer club with deep roots, multiple campuses, and a strong USYS/ECNL pipeline; directly comparable as a multi-decade Florida youth soccer operator with the same rec-to-travel structure and college-placement value proposition.
• Tampa Bay United Soccer Club: One of the larger competitive youth soccer clubs in the Tampa Bay market operating recreational through ECNL-tier travel teams; directly competes for the same U8–U19 players in eastern Hillsborough and Pasco County that Florida Soccer Club targets.
• Tampa Bay Rowdies Youth Network: The professional-club affiliation network of which Florida Soccer Club is a member; the Rowdies Youth Network aggregates multiple Tampa Bay area youth clubs under a pro-club umbrella and competes for the same travel/competitive players in Hillsborough and Pasco counties.
• Jacksonville FC Youth: Northeast Florida youth soccer organization affiliated with an NPSL/pro-side club; comparable as another Florida multi-age-group youth soccer operator competing in the same state-level leagues and tournaments.

Broad incumbents

• IMG Academy Soccer: Large Florida-based sports academy with a prominent youth soccer program that targets elite travel and college-bound players; broader multi-sport scope but competes for the same top-tier Florida travel players the Spirit's competitive teams recruit.
