Florida Premier Soccer (FPS) and Lake County Soccer Club are delighted to announce a partnership to develop a School of Excellence Program for players aged 5-10. Commencing in fall 2010, FPS will bring the School of Excellence program to various locations throughout Orlando including Hickory Point Soccer Complex, Tavares, the home of Lake County Soccer Club.
Developed by sister organization Mass Premier Soccer (MPS, www.masspremiersoccer.com), the SOE Program in Massachusetts currently has over 1,000 players and has produced two US National Team Players in each of the last two years. The SOE program is unique in terms of full-time licensed professional coaches working with dedicated and talented individuals who are looking for advanced training with similarly talented peers.
The SOE curriculum is focused on developing technical players and is continually updated by the Technical Department at MPS Headquarters in Boston. As the first franchise launched by Mass Premier Soccer in Florida, FPS will look to identify and develop players with PACE – Personality, Attitude, Creativity (Confidence for Goalkeepers) and Excellence.
“We are delighted to associate the FPS brand with the highly regarded Lake County program as we launch the School of Excellence program in Tavares, Florida,” said FPS General Manager Andrew Moir.
“We were attracted to a partnership with FPS as we sought to enhance our offerings to players aged 10 and under. The FPS School of Excellence Program will complement the existing infrastructure at the club and provide a source of quality players for our Premier Program,” said Lake County Soccer Club President Mike Stone.
MPS has successfully developed league products, showcase tournaments, college placement programs and has won 13 national titles, nine at the youth level and two PDL and two W-League titles. MPS also successfully expanded to Maine in 2009 (www.mainepremiersoccer.com)
