FC South Bay represents the next generation of soccer, providing players the opportunity to compete in EDP (Elite Development Program) under the guidance of professional coaches such as our very own Glenn, Vince, Sean, and other professional staff coaches, such as Will and Gerald.

A competitive program for dedicated players who want to play in the EDP league.

We request our games to be played on Sundays for U9-U13 teams (as LIJSL games are played on Saturdays), and on Saturdays for U14 and older teams (as LIJSL’s games are played on Sundays). We schedule our home games, and the opponent schedules our away games. It’s up to the opponent whether or not they can honor our request to play on our requested day when they schedule our away games.
