Player Development
The Development of today's players comes from two-areas, training and playing the game. The Advanced Program trainers and coaches understand the developing needs of the competitive player. Players receive in depth technical and tactical training. The execution of these skills only occurs with a high level of competition. Our Advanced teams play the best teams in Florida and compete against the best teams in Florida and compete against the best teams in the southeast. Virtually all advanced players go on to start on their junior high and high school teams.

Tryouts

Commitment

The league games are split between home games at the CCSC fields and the rest of the games played away at the various league team sites in Duval and St. John's County. You can also expect to play in a tournament in the fall and in the spring. All of the Clay County teams also enter either Region Cup or State Cup. These are tournaments that involve all of the advanced teams around the state.
