The Manatee Magic — one of Florida's most historic youth soccer programs — is the travel/competitive rung of NXT SC Florida, playing out of GT Bray Park in Bradenton.

Trying out for the competitive program costs nothing. Registering ahead of tryouts helps staff plan for the number of players in attendance. The 2026–27 tryout window has closed — get in touch and we'll keep you in the loop for the next one.

If selected for a team, the annual program fee is $650 per player. This fee helps cover coaching, training sessions, league registration, and administrative costs for the 2026–27 season. Additional expenses such as uniforms are separate.
