PSC FC has won the Division 1 twice—once in Arizona and once in California—and securing a Premier Division title in Arizona in 2023. In 2025 it also won the Florida Gulf Coast Conference. Our club philosophy revolves around providing a professional training environment with daily sessions that prepare players for higher levels of the game as well as giving them professional exposure throughout the season by bringing different Sporting Directors and Head Coaches from professional clubs around the United States and Europe. In 2025 the club had coaches visit from Ireland, Malta, England, USL Championship and League One as well as Exhibition games against USL Championship clubs.
