Tryouts for players 18 and up to be held at Wiregrass Ranch High School located at Wesley Chapel, 5:00-7:00pm.
The Rangers UPSL team is led by Ian Flores, and backed up by Mike Connell, of the FC Tampa Rangers Organization. Long considered one of the most respected and competitive youth clubs in the Tampa Bay area, Flores and Connell teamed up in 2024 to launch the Rangers pro development team for exceptional players over 18.
Connell, the former Tampa Bay Rowdies star and Flores, an All American and 2018 High School Player of the Year, are committed to extend the Ranger way to the next level with hard work, excellent training, sportsmanship, and high level competition.
