Futbol Play Zone

“James Island are delighted to offer a unique training experience for players entering the game on Johns Island”

The Futbol Play Zone-Johns Island program will henceforth be called JIYSC-FPZ. JIYSC is the oldest club in South Carolina and is growing. The Johns Island community will benefit greatly from this relationship, and it will provide a gateway for many kids who want to continue their soccer journey beyond the FPZ soccer development experience.

The JIYSC-FPZ program offers (4) 8-week seasons throughout the year. This keeps kids engaged and provides the opportunity for kids who play different sports to also play & learn soccer.

The FPZ Johns Island Playground Soccer League (JIPSL) has registered over 125 players in the JIPSL Fall/Winter Seasons. The JIPSL gives kids a foundation to play soccer and the opportunity to explore their creativity with more free play. This philosophy of “letting the kids play” creates a fun and passion driven youth sports environment. We apply this philosophy to our Saturday JIPSL 3v3/5v5 Games which encourages young players to think about the game, making frequent decisions and honing their soccer skill sets. Licensed coaches from JIYSC work with our kids during the midweek practice sessions. Saturday JIPSL 3v3/5v5 games are designated as ‘festival style’ games with rotating rosters and volunteer coaches.

JIYSC-FPZJI are looking for kids born 2018-2011 who want to play and learn the “world’s game”.

Join the fun and be a part of Johns Island’s growing youth soccer community!

FPZ JIPSL – Spring Season (March-May)
This will be the 3rd Spring Season for the JIPSL and first with JIYSC. Players are placed in Pool Groups based primarily on their age with boys and girls together. Mid-week practice sessions (2 per week) are run by professional soccer trainers. Saturday JIPSL 3v3 & 5v5 games are all about the players and game managed by volunteer coaches. The U6 & U8 age groups play 3v3 while the U10 & U12 age groups play 5v5.

Age groups for boys/girls players to register for: 

• U6-3v3 (2018-2017)
• U8-3v3 (2016-2015)
• U10-5v5 (2014-2013)
• U12-5v5 (2012-2011)

Players who exhibit a higher natural ability to play soccer will be encouraged to play up an age group.
