EnglishWhat is FC Sarasota?
Updated
FC Sarasota is a youth soccer club based in Sarasota, Florida, offering programs for players from U5 through U19, plus an adult league. If you're a parent looking for a team, a coach, or a camp for a child, or an adult connected to a registered player, the club's website (fcsarasota.com) is the place to start. The sections below cover what the club runs, who's involved, and how to get in touch.
Programs by age group
The club organizes its offerings by age bracket, which makes it easier to find the right fit before registering.
| Program | Age range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Kickers | U5 & U6 | Introductory program for the youngest players |
| Competitive Program | U7 – U18 | Includes 2026/2027 competitive tryouts |
| Recreational Program | U7 – U19 | Non-competitive, broader age span |
| Footskills | U7 – U14 | Skills-focused training |
| TOPSoccer | Youth | US Youth Soccer outreach program for players with disabilities |
| Adult League | Adults | Open to parents of registered players only |
Two things stand out for families comparing options. First, the competitive and recreational tracks overlap in age (U7 and up), so the choice between them is about commitment level rather than age eligibility. Second, the adult league is restricted — it's not open to the general public, only to parents of registered players.
Who runs the club
The site lists a board of directors and a coaching staff by name. Coaches named include Simon Boos, Seth Calero, Armand Dikranian, Amanda Duff, Jimmy Forway, Rodrigo Gonzalez, Sean Gray, John Hall, Ricky Hernandez, Jaime Letarte, Serge Lipovetsky, Cesar Markovic, Juan Carlos Osorio, Leonardo Schneider, and Armando Ubeda.
If you want to know who would actually coach your child, the coach list is the reference point — but the site doesn't map individual coaches to specific teams or age groups, so you'd need to confirm that directly with the club.
Fields, camps, and the Sarasota Cup
Beyond weekly programs, the club maintains pages for fields, camps, and the Sarasota Cup — its named tournament. These are separate from the seasonal programs, so if you're looking for a short-term camp or a tournament to enter rather than a full-season team, check those sections rather than the program list.
Club resources and policies
The resources area collects the practical paperwork and reference material a family needs over a season:
- 2026/27 Competitive Uniforms — uniform information for the competitive track
- Refund & Release Policy — the terms covering refunds and player releases
- Financial Aid — support for families who need it
- Sponsorship — how to sponsor the club
- Birth Year Matrix — the reference for determining which age group a player falls into
- Recreational Coaches Corner and Coach & Team Representative Help Page — support for volunteer coaches and team reps
There are also links to league and governing-body resources: WFPL/N1 (US Club), GA Aspire (USSSA), and FSPL & USA (FYSA). These matter if you're trying to understand which league a team plays in or what rules apply.

The site also has a contact form (name, email, phone, message) that confirms submission on success and shows an error message if sending fails.
What the site doesn't tell you
A few things you'd reasonably want before committing aren't covered in the available material: fees and pricing, registration deadlines, practice schedules, and which coach leads which team. The site does include a login, suggesting a member area exists, but what's behind it isn't described here. For any of these, the phone number and email above are the direct route.
