The purpose of this Alliance:
is to provide the best possible training environment for youth soccer players on the Island Coast. By combining the resources of area clubs to include coaches, trainers and players a more standardized and progressive training environment can be formed. While also providing a platform for our players to compete at the local, Regional, State and National levels. The initial phase of this Alliance brings together the Cape Coral Soccer Association’s Select soccer program (Cyclones) and the Florida Premier Soccer Club.
