Lee County Premier is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the youth of our community the opportunity to participate in recreational and competitive level soccer. Our goal is to instill in each of our players a love for the game of soccer, while developing Brave, Creative Leaders. We also emphasize fostering characteristics of fair play, sportsmanship, persistence, integrity, respect, and humility. We strive always to provide a safe and positive training environment while seeking to promote a spirit of friendship and respect on and off the field.
South Fort Myers Soccer Club was founded in 1986 and initially operated out of several different local complexes. Shortly thereafter, the Lee County Strikers competitive program was established as a separate organization. In 1991, the opening of the Kelly Road Soccer Complex provided a permanent home, and both organizations relocated there—a facility that remains our home to this day.
By the mid-1990s, the two organizations merged to form the Greater Fort Myers Soccer Club, with the Lee County Strikers serving as its competitive division. Throughout the late 1990s, the club experienced significant growth, expanding to more than 850 players.
In 2025, we proudly partnered with Florida Premier and rebranded as Lee County Premier FC. As the oldest soccer club in Fort Myers, we are confident that under new leadership and direction, we will fulfill our undeniable potential as we enter our historic 40th year in 2026.
