The EDP Florida Competitive League has kicked off its third year of league play with divisions in four regions including West Florida for the first time. The West Florida divisions join the highly-successful North, Central, and South, with teams in each division vying for a spot in the coveted EDP League Playoffs, being held this December in Palm Beach Gardens.
The league has grown to over 825 teams this Fall, featuring some of the top clubs from throughout the state in the 9U-19U age groups. Games kicked off August 20th, with over 400 matches played in the first few weeks of the season.
