CHARLESTON, S.C. (May 15, 2012) – The Florida Premier League, part of US Club Soccer’s National Premier Leagues (NPL), has announced that it will add six new clubs for the 2012-13 season. These new clubs will join five founding members of the Florida Premier League: Brandon FC, Jacksonville United, Orlando City FC (formerly CFK Kraze/Krush), Space Coast United, and Tampa Bay United.

The six new clubs joining the Florida Premier League in the U-13 through U-18 boys and girls age groups for the 2012-13 season are:

One of the values of being a National Premier League under US Club Soccer is the incorporation of a player identification program into the Florida Premier League.  Every NPL includes 1 Player Development Program event (a PDP Event) for the best players from the league at specified age groups to come together for training, competition, and scouting.  Players participating in a PDP Event will be provided at least 2 training sessions / games, top level coaching, and training gear from Nike.

As the U-15 through U-18 Fall season winds down, and on the heels of a successful Fall Scouting Showcase, the Florida Premier League will begin the Winter Season for the U-13 and U-14 age groups this weekend, Oct. 22nd-23rd.
