CHALLENGE TEAMS

More competitive than Rec. Less commitment than Club.

Challenge Teams

Challenge Teams are more competitive than recreational soccer—but with less commitment than traditional club.

At Orlando Eagles, we’ve seen many players who are ready for more structure, faster play, and greater development, but who don’t want (or aren’t able to take on) the full cost, travel, and year-round demands that come with club soccer. Challenge is the next step. A step to grow athletically and spiritually.

Registration for tryouts for the Fall 2026/Spring 2027 Season is now open.

    Our goal is to offer gender-specific divisions whenever possible. However, as we launch the league, this will depend on overall registration numbers. If there are not enough players of each gender within an age group, that age group will compete as a co-ed division.

  • Teams will play 4v4, 5v5, & 7v7 to give players more touches on the ball, more opportunities to make decisions, and more involvement in the game. These formats encourage creativity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of soccer. With fewer players and age-appropriate field sizes, players develop technical skills quicker, game awareness, and teamwork in a fun, fast-paced environment. As players grow, 7v7 introduces positional play and tactical concepts while keeping the game engaging and development focused.

  • We will offer 4 options for practice locations this fall.

    • University Carillon (Campus View Ct) / Geneva School (Seminola Blvd) - Each week you will have one training at each location

    • University Carillon (Campus View Ct / Bonneville (UBC on Sussex Rd) - Each week you will have one training at each location

    • Discovery Church (Sand Lake Rd)

    • Center Pointe Church (Curry Ford Rd)

    Games will rotate across locations.

  • Yes, if you play University Carillon Upwards or Discovery Sports Soccer we will work with the Church to accommodate your schedule to play in both leagues.
