Register for GCFYSL 2026-27

• School year age method. This is a U.S. Soccer, USYS, and FSYA shift away from the calendar "birth-year" format. Teams are now formed using an August 1 – July 31 school-year method to align players with their academic grade peers.

• Full year registration includes the Fall and Spring seasons. One registration for the full 2026-2027 soccer year. Single season options are available as needed.

• Girls teams register separately into the new Florida Girls League. The GCFYSL registration is for Boys teams only. See the Florida Girls League button for Girls teams. GCFYSL will continue to oversee our local teams, but scheduling will include a broader pool of opponents.

• Increased League fees to align with Florida Girls League. GCF still remains the lowest league fees in Central Florida.

• Increased Referee fees set by Sunshine Leagues (SunshineLeagues.org), a unified collective of youth soccer leagues across Florida.

This registration is for Competitive teams ages U8-U19.

To help broaden Girls teams' competition, Girls will now register into the new Florida Girls League.

GCF Fall Season 2026: Sep 12 to Dec 20 - tentative
GCF Spring Season 2027: Feb 20 to May 23
See season deadlines and dates on our homepage.

Payment Requirement. GCF requires a credit card entry for each team. Payment is due upon application submission. 

Registration. Teams can enter through the registration link. Clubs can enter through the club-enabled application. If you have more than 8 teams to register you may request that Club Enroll be activated to enter them all at once. Email admin@gcfsoccer.com when you are ready to enroll.

Clubs in bad standing. If your account is past due from the previous season, you will need to pay outstanding invoices before your teams will be accepted or your players will be eligible for scholarships. Please contact Treasurer Patty Herodier to resolve these issues, treasurer@gcfsoccer.com.

Add POC in GotSport to every team. It is very important that your league POC be added to every team (customarily as manager) in GotSport so they will receive all team chat communication.
