      of course it is the highest level league. Who disputed that? The post you responded to disputed idiots who think all other youth soccer leagues and players are rec.

        Under US Club

        ECNL only a Jfc, FESA, FKK, OCYS, TBU, Miramar in Florida are in this league, it is the top league under us club

        NPL - league under ECNL, second teams from the Florida clubs in ecnl plus plus second teams from full DA clubs, these are the Florida NPL

        ACYS Spirit United (boys)
        Chargers SC
        Clay County SC (boys)
        Florida Elite Soccer Academy
        Florida Kraze Krush
        GPS Florida West
        GPS Orlando
        IMG Academy
        Jacksonville Armada FC Youth Academy
        Kendall SC (boys)
        Miamar United Elite (Jr. boys)
        Orlando City Youth Soccer (Jr. boys/girls)
        Parkland (boys)
        Pinecrest Premier
        Space Coast United
        Sunrise Soccer (girls)
        Tampa Bay United
        Wellington SC
        West Florida Flames
        Weston FC (girls)

        FLORIDA PREMIER LEAGUE

        Has in some cases 2nd 3rd or 4 th teams from big clubs plus First teams from other clubs


        Then under these are leagues like USA for Tampa area, Cdi also that area, north Florida youth soccer, greater central Florida league, south Florida league etc

        Still teams in these could be the same as teams in the aforementioned leagues. Lots of teams are in multiple leagues

        In reality it should be, but you will find excellent teams in all the leagues under ecnl that can beat each other. Da teams don’t play anyone other than da, but ecnl teams will if they lose to a none ecnl team they probably need to take a good look at themselves

        1 da
        2 ecnl
        3 FSPL
        4 NPL
        5 fpl

        Then regional leagues
        Thank you very much for taking the time. I would only say that fspl 1st league is much different then the premier division. Very widespread quality of teams, pretty much the same varying degrees of competition you would see in most every other league

          Most of the teams in the FSPL Premier Division earned their way into the spot by winning on the field of play in the FYSA State Cup competition.

          I could be wrong, but I think FYSA is the only association in Florida that can say that, Youth or Professional.

          As time progresses the FSPL Premier Division is going to show the value of having a promotion/relegation system in place.

          Flawed as it is, at least FYSA is trying to create a pathway for the best teams to play in the best division. And to create an incentive for clubs to make sure they are working to get the best coaching in place to create the best teams.

          Would be great for US Soccer if the DA and the MLS would try some sort of promotion/relegation system too.

            Unfortunately some of the larger clubs have already bailed on the FYSA for US Club. This split is only hurting youth soccer.

              I would put SFUYSA Div 1 against any of these leagues with the exception of DA. To be fair, I only know U13 boys.

                Too many leagues. How about 2 or 3 leagues and that's it. local league w/ promo and relegations. Finish top 4 play in your fspl league. top players from these leagues creat 4 different da's and play in regional level competition slotted on 1 weekend a month. this way friends are still playing together locally and development is still happening. If you look at it there is between 12 and 14 quality teams locally in each region.

                  I agree with the poster, how are we ever going to find out or know with out the kids playing each other locally. IT's done all through out Europe. Before you tell me the competition is watered down give me a break. competition is watered down because no one wants to play each other in fear of losing players. Too many kids playing in unsanctioned leagues w/ no money, coaches kids good enough to play at high level leagues but don't due to dad being there coach. we need to go with the old saying less is more, as in less leagues is more competition and more development.

                    Too Many clubs in too small a geographical area. If they all did what was best for the kids, we'd have less clubs, better teams and could then compete with other states.

                    Greed? Ego?

                      Thanks
                      Unless they are paying their players DA is rec soccer too.

                        You can’t pay youth players that may go on to play in college. It would negate their amateur status and make them ineligible.

                            Leagues and tournaments are only money makers for a few and pander to mommy and daddy. The system is broken and needs to be blown up.

                                Too many leagues....having 12 year olds travel to Alabama and Tenessee for a league games. Just a money grab...we live in Florida not South Dakota.
