Youth Soccer Club – Winter Park FC
Winter Park FC is a youth soccer academy serving Winter Park, Florida, with all games and practices held at Ward Park, located at Cady Way and Perth Lane. The organization runs several competitive and developmental programs, including Winter Park FC, the Winter Park Royals, Pre Select, Winter Park Futures, and camps and clinics.
The club’s philosophy centers on individual player development, both technically and tactically. Director of Coaching Leandro Browne states that the organization focuses on tactical and technical information so players will enjoy and express themselves as they develop, not just in soccer but in life, and the club measures success by process rather than results.
Within Winter Park Futures, the Prodigies program serves children ages 18 months to 3 years through a six-week schedule of 45-minute sessions that introduce fundamental soccer and motor skills using fun games, with required parent participation. The Spring 2026 Prodigies season runs Thursdays from April 16 through May 21, from 5:00 to 5:45 p.m., with a $75 registration fee that includes a player t-shirt and limited available spaces.
Winter Park FC and the Royals offer ID clinics and tryouts for various age groups, with registration organized by birth year at Ward Park. The club lists partnerships with First Touch Sports and Iconzex Experience.
A newsletter signup is available on the website, and coaching inquiries can be directed to James by email. The organization maintains a presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
Centered at Ward Park in Winter Park, the academy structures its offerings from toddler introductory sessions through competitive teams, presenting a development-focused pathway for young players in the Winter Park area and emphasizing long-term growth over short-term match outcomes across all of its age groups and programs.
