We are a proud member of the United States Youth Soccer Association (USYSA), the United State Soccer Federation (USSF), and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
FYSA Sunshine Conference
The US Youth Soccer National Leagues program features a network of 13 conferences (formerly known as US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues) across the country. The competitions provide teams with the highest possible level of competition at the national and multi-state levels. The Sunshine Conference is one of 13 conferences that fall under the scope of the USYS National League Program and operate at a multi-state level — providing high-level competition on a consistent basis at a targeted local level (Florida).
Beginning with the 2020-21 seasonal year, all Sunshine Conference teams will have access to the new National League Showcase Series. The National League Showcase Series provides more opportunities for Sunshine Conference teams to compete within a national platform against other similarly performing teams from other Conferences. These Showcases are designed to maximize identification opportunities for Sunshine Conference players and to create efficient recruiting opportunities for the scouting community. More information about the National League Showcase Series can be found in FAQ document and additional information will be forthcoming on the US Youth Soccer website.
