Remember if you are not a resident of Palm Beach Gardens, you will need to pay an additional fee of $15 when signing up. We collect the fee, but the money goes to the city.
New Age Divisions: Please note we have added 4 year olds to the program and changed the age divisions to the standards used by the Florida Youth Soccer Association. We appreciate your understanding in this transition year.
