MLS GO, powered by Major League Soccer, is a grassroots soccer program designed to provide boys and girls of all skill levels with a fun, inclusive, and professionally organized soccer experience in a positive learning environment. MLS GO introduces young players to the game through age-appropriate training, small-sided games, and a development-first approach that encourages confidence, creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong love for soccer.
The Florida Legends FC MLS GO JR Academy is led by former Major League Soccer player, professional international, and Florida Legends FC Founder Tony Taylor, utilizing a professional youth development curriculum designed to help young players build a strong technical foundation while learning the game in an engaging and supportive environment.
Our program emphasizes individual skill development, coordination, decision-making, confidence building, teamwork, and sportsmanship through structured training sessions and small-sided games that maximize touches on the ball and player involvement.
Players will proudly represent their favorite Major League Soccer clubs while wearing official MLS GO jersey kits, creating an exciting and authentic professional soccer experience throughout the season.
