About

Our Premier Program provides competitive play for our older and most advanced players aged 12 and up. Practices are structured with age-appropriate activities focused on field positioning, ball control, tactics and scrimmages. Teams play in a league that is appropriate for the team. League selection is established on a team by team basis. If a league has a promotion and relegation policy, the team may be moved up or down in level of play in compliance with that policy.

Club Fees for Premier Teams (includes League Fee)

  • 13U – 14U play is full year (fall & spring)     $950 per year

Team Fees
Team competition costs (Tournaments, and referee fees) are managed (and paid) at the team level. These are not included in the Club Fees and will be collected later by team coach/manager.

You should expect about $50 for referees and $50 entry fee per tournament  (for guidance, depending on level and ambition of team, this can vary between $50 and $150 per season). You may also be responsible for coaches travel costs when playing outside the low-country or staying overnight for tournaments.

Scholarships (Financial Aid)
Scholarships are available to those in need and face financial hardships that would otherwise prevent children from enjoying the great sport of soccer. Please email us at [email protected] for more information and application details.

Training and Schedules

Teams are coached by USSF licensed, experienced professional coaches. Training is typically scheduled two evenings per week.

Games

Game format is played in line with U.S. Soccer directives for small-sided games, which is 11v11 for 13U and up.

Uniforms

All players will be responsible for their own uniform. Some teams may opt to solicit sponsorship to offset that cost.
These are purchased directly from Lloyd’s Soccer in Mount Pleasant and a full home and away set will cost around $180. We rotate our uniform every two years and our next cycle starts in Fall, 2024 (ends Spring, 2026). This means you will see 1-4 seasons wear out of each purchase depending when you join the club.
