Be challenged. BE DRIVEN. Be unstoppable.

At Hernando Soccer Club, our Competitive Soccer Program is designed to develop players to their fullest potential—both on and off the field. We aim to create a positive environment where athletes are challenged to grow, develop high-level skills, and prepare for future collegiate and professional opportunities through our club partnerships. Our program also serves as a model for younger players, fostering a culture of dedication and excellence.

Our players train under qualified and experienced coaching staff, receiving high-quality instruction emphasizing technical skills, tactical awareness, and overall player development. Athletes in our program compete in challenging leagues and tournaments across Florida and beyond, gaining valuable experience against strong competition.

Hernando Soccer Club follows the US Soccer curriculum, emphasizing an offensive style of play based on possession, quick ball movement, and strategic team dynamics. We aim to develop well-rounded players who can think critically on the field and perform at their highest level.

• Tryouts are held annually to determine player placement for U9-U19 competitive teams.

• The competitive season runs from August 1st to May 30th.
• Teams participate in 10-16 league games, plus tournaments on key weekends (Labor Day, Columbus Day, etc.).
