(SMUFC) is a well-established youth soccer program in Florida, founded in 2014 by Serge Robert Maseri, a South Miami resident. As a locally owned, community-focused organization, we cater to children and teenagers aged U3 to U18 across all skill levels. Mission Statement Our mission at South Miami United F.C. is to cultivate a thriving soccer community that nurtures young talent and fosters a lifelong passion for the sport. We aim to develop soccer skills in a supportive and inclusive environment, while instilling core values such as integrity, honesty, dedication, and teamwork. By providing comprehensive soccer programs-from recreational to competitive levels-we are dedicated to enhancing the physical, social, and emotional growth of all participants, empowering them to achieve their fullest potential both on and off the field. 5 25 of 185 Vision Statement Our vision is to be recognized as a premier youth soccer club in South Florida, renowned for nurturing young athletes into exceptional players and honorable individuals. We are committed to shaping not just skilled athletes, but also good humans who will thrive in all aspects of life. By fostering a positive impact on their character and community involvement, we aim to inspire a new generation of leaders who excel both on the field and in their communities. Developmental Pathways Our club offers three distinct developmental pathways for our players: • SMUFC Recreational Program: This serves as an introduction to soccer for young children aged 4 to 12, with specialized training for teens aged U13-U15. Played at South Miami Park, this program focuses on fun, exercise, teamwork, and skill development while instilling the values of sportsmanship and community involvement. Coached mostly by parents, it provides a supportive environment for children to learn and grow. We hold two practices each week over 16 weeks, with games on Saturdays-ensuring at least 8 games per player. • SMUFC Boys & Girls Travel/Competitive Program: SMUFC's competitive youth soccer program is available for boys and girls U8-U18 who seek a more competitive experience. This program offers rigorous training, tactical development, and participation in local leagues and tournaments across the state. Teams are coached by licensed professionals. Practices are held three times a week from August to May with league games on weekends and approximately one tournament a month. We offer specialized training sessions, competitive league play, and opportunities to participate in tournaments at various levels. Our goal is to foster a supportive and motivating environment where players can reach their full potential and grow as individuals both on and off the field. • SMUFC Academy Program: Bridging the gap between recreational and travel soccer, this unique program offers licensed coaching and a flexible schedule of training and tournaments. It provides young players with the opportunity to transition smoothly from recreational to competitive play. Program Overview and Proof of Experience SMUFC has been providing soccer services continuously for ten years and has a proven track record within the City of South Miami. Our experience demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of business operations and the legal aspects of sports management and a strong managerial background in sports facilities and programs, supported by recognized coaching certifications from leading sports and soccer associations. 6 26 of 185 Since our birth in 2014, we have provided services to shape children and teenagers into loving soccer, as a pathway to leverage better human beings at the service of their dreams and their community. Moreover, SMUFC is affiliated with the Florida Youth Soccer Association, the South Florida Youth Soccer Association, US Club Soccer, United States Soccer Federation, South Florida Premier League, Elite Development Program (EDP), and The Florida Girls Academy, ensuring adherence to domestic and international standards of sportsmanship and fair play. Proof of Competitive Success Over our ten-year existence, SMUFC's travel teams have achieved remarkable success in various tournaments: • Champions and Finalists: Teams have won titles in prestigious events such as the Palm Beach Gardens Classic, Weston Cup, Sarasota Cup Girls Weekend, Tampa Bay Super Cup, United Soccer Cup, South Florida Super Cup, Sharks Soccer Cup & Showcase, and the annual Dimitri Cup. • Elite Competitions: SMUFC teams have qualified to play in the Florida State Premiere League and have been finalists in the FYSA Statewide Presidents Cup and the Florida State Invitational Tournament. • National and International Exposure: Our teams have participated in the Sports Recruiting US College Showcase in Naples and have been accepted into the prestigious Danone Cup Tournament in Orlando, where the winner represents the United States in an international youth soccer competition. Special Programs and Community Engagement We have collaborated with both domestic and international entities, including Real Racing of Santander, to offer enriched training experiences and expand soccer's popularity both locally and globally. In partnership with Real Racing, we host our Annual International Soccer lmmersive Experience in Santander, Spain. This program invites approximately 30 SMUFC Coed players each year to train at the Racing facilities, where they gain invaluable experience by interacting with professional players and coaches. This exchange is reciprocal; we have also conducted winter camps in Miami, involving our South Miami United players and the broader SoMi community. These camps are led by Gonzalo Colsa, Academy Director at Real Racing, further bridging the gap between local talent and international soccer expertise. As soccer continues to grow in popularity, SMUFC remains dedicated to being a trusted resource for the City of South Miami and its surrounding areas, with a steadfast commitment to community engagement and enrichment. To achieve this goal, we are committed to expanding our Kick-It Clinics held at the Bethel Community Center, benefiting numerous children each year. 7 27ofl85 Additionally, we will offer a 20% discount to SOMI residents, ensuring accessibility to our programs for local families. Furthermore, we are devoted to strengthening our scholarship need- based program, providing valuable opportunities for underprivileged children to participate in our soccer programs. Through these initiatives, we aim to deepen our connections with the community and promote inclusivity in sports participation. Final Remarks As the founder with extensive prior experience in youth soccer at South Miami United, Coral Estates Soccer Club, and The Cushman School, and the current operator of the Youth and Teen Soccer Program in the city of South Miami; I am committed to enhancing the quality of life in our city through sports. SMUFC is dedicated to nurturing not only skilled soccer players but also well-rounded individuals who embody our core values both on and off the field.

P~l roposer 1tia s 35 of83 33 of 185 Public Entity Crimes Affidavit I understand that a ''public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including but not limited to, any Proposal or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentations. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287 .133( 1 )(b ), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means: 1. A predecessor or successor of a· person convicted of a public entity crime; or 2. An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287 .133(1 )( e ), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which proposals or applies to Proposal on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term ''person" includes those officers, directors, executives, and partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity. Based on information and belief, the statement, which I have marked below, is true in relations to the entity submitting this sworn statement. (INDICATE WHICH STATEMENT APPLIES.)

However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the final Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list (attach a copy of the final order). I understand that the submission of this form to the contracting officer for the public entity identified in paragraph 1 above is for that public entity only and that this form is valid through December 31 of the calendar year in which it is filed.

Proof of Experience About South Miami United F.C. South Miami United Football Club (SMUFC) has established itself as a cornerstone of youth soccer in South Miami since its inception in 2014. Initially launched at South Miami Park, the club has continuously expanded its influence under the guidance of Robert Maseri, who was pivotal in starting the travel program out of Coral Estates alongside the recreational programs at the newly renamed South Miami Park, previously known as Downrite Park. The overarching mission of SMUFC is to provide a community-centric space where young athletes and their families can immerse themselves in the joys of soccer. This commitment extends to promoting sportsmanship, fun, and fair play within a secure and positive environment. Over the past five years, SMUFC has also taken on the Operation and Management Services for the South Miami Youth and Teen Soccer Program. Their management has been marked by impeccable performance and results, demonstrating the club's capability in not only coaching and training but also in effective program administration. 34 54ofl85 Programming and Activities Recreational and Competitive Program Annually, SMUFC rolls out an array of soccer-related activities catering to different skill levels and age groups. For the recreational level, programming is available in both fall and spring seasons, focusing on children ages U3 to Ul2. This level emphasizes fun and skill development over competition, with various team sizes adapted to age groups, ranging from 4v4 formats in the younger divisions to 7v7 as the players mature. On a more competitive front, SMUFC offers travel soccer for ages U7 to U 18. This program, which demands an annual commitment running from August to May, is designed for players showing advanced skills and dedication. The competitive teams participate in local and statewide leagues, with some venturing to out-of-state tournaments. The training is rigorous, aimed at enhancing both individual skills and team tactics, with teams categorized into levels-Black, White, and Green-based on their proficiency and experience. 35 55ofl85 Camps and Clinics In addition to regular season play, SMUFC organizes camps and clinics during school breaks. These camps, held at South Miami Park and Gibson Bethel Community Center, focus on nurturing individual skills as well as teamwork and leadership qualities. They are accessible to a wide age range, from 4 to 17 years old, and are structured to provide intensive training in a condensed format. The clinics, particularly, are geared towards residents new to soccer, ensuring everyone in the community has an opportunity to engage with the sport. Community Impact and Accessibility A critical aspect of SMUFC's programming is its inclusivity. The club strives to ensure that no child is barred from participating due to financial constraints. This philosophy is embedded in their community outreach initiatives and scholarship programs. SMUFC serves as a vital institution in South Miami, not only fostering young talent but also uniting the community through sport. By providing diverse programs that cater to various needs and skill levels, SMUFC upholds its foundational belief in the developmental power of sports, which goes beyond physical abilities to include character building and community engagement.

I am reaching out to express my support for renewing the license of the football club situated in South Miami Park. My daughter has had a tremendous experience being a pat1 of SMUFC and the coaches have been truly exceptional. The involvement in youth sports plays a role in shaping individuals and I strongly believe that continuing at South Miami Park is crucial. Having played in the NBA previously, including for the 2012-2013 NBA Champion Miami Heat, I recognize the significance of youth sports and its positive influence on child's growth. I am appreciative that my daughter has had an enriching and sage team to be a part of all these years. South Miami Park has served as a great facility for the teams. Miami-Dade lacks quality facilities throughout the country and we have always felt privileged to practice at South Miami Park. If the point of the park system is to bring people together, then South Miami Park has accomplished this well over the years with SMUFC. I sincerely hope that this relationship can continue. I wholeheartedly supp011 the renewal of the SMUFC license. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any inquiries . Thank you.

South Miami United Football Club. I have known Robert for 10+ years , and ca n speak with confidence on his behalf In the South Florida soccer community, South Miami United ha s become a successful and establlshed football club that competes at the highest leve l. SM U FC teams are we ll-coached and well-trained, with an emphasis on skill deve lopment and understan ding how "the Beautiful Game " is played. Most importantly, the players from SMUFC re spect the traditions of the game and they compete fairly and honorably. All of this reflects Ro bert's lea dership of the club SMUFC and Miami Rush Kendall SC have a collaborative part nership an d work close ly together. Robert has proven lo be an ethical, trusted partner, as ou r two clubs work together to develop young soccer players who want to play at the most compellllve level I believe it is In the best interests of the city of South M1am1, to continue to place its trust In Robert and South Miami United Football Club .

Having worked with Robert over the last 5 years, he has demonstrated a high level of professionalism in our business dealings and an exemplary commitment to his mission of helping families reach their true potential, both on and off the soccer field. For this reason, Robert and his club hold one of the most respected reputations in the soccer community, not only in South Florida but across the country and internationally. Capelli Sport, while operating primarily as a uniform and equipment brand, is also a globa l sporting company that provides clubs like SMUFC professional and collegiate player pathways as well as coaching education. With ownership stake in numerous professional clubs in Europe, most notably MSV Duisburg of the German Bundesliga and HB Koge of the Danish Pro league, we bolster our youth partners' capabilities through our global network and resources . Currently, there are several players from SMUFC that are being considered for the Capelli USA All-Star Team who will compete in the annual CS CUP hosted in Koge, Denmark this July. This, among the many other benefits provided through our services, is what makes the partnership between SMUFC and Capelli Sport uniquely valuable. In summary, there is no one as deserving as Robert Maseri to be able to continue running the South Miami United FC soccer program and we at Capelli Sport are committed to supporting him in any way necessary to ensure the continued success of his organization for many generations to come.

Program Plan Organizational approach SMUFC has been running its youth soccer program from South Miami Park for the past ten years, starting in 2014. The club was formally incorporated that year, with Robert Maseri spearheading the travel program out of Coral Estates and the recreational program with South Miami United F.C. at South Miami Park, formerly known as Downrite Park. The ongoing goal of SMUFC is to be a place where the community comes together, where young children and their families can learn and enjoy the sport of soccer, emphasizing good sportsmanship, fun, and fair play in a safe, positive environment. Once started in the fall of 2014, SMUFC has offered ongoing annual programs: Recreational soccer is offered for children who want to play soccer in an organized league. Recreational soccer programs are held in the fall and spring for kids ages U3-Ul2. Travel/ competitive soccer is a higher-level program with more rigorous training and competitive league play. A full range of training complements these different levels of participation. Travel soccer is aimed for players ages U7 through U18. It is comprised by an annual commitment that starts in August and runs through May, totaling 10 months. Annual Programming provided by South Miami United F.C. includes a variety of leagues, camps, training, and clinics throughout the year. This programming serves children of all ages and abilities, regardless of their ability to pay. During the winter, spring and summer breaks, we offer weekly camps for kids of all ages 4 through 17. Camps are focused on individual skill development, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. Camps are held at South Miami Park and Gibson Bethel Community Center Monday thru Friday 9:00 am -12:00 pm. Half-Day: $200 per week/ Single day rate: $40. Clinics are provided to South Miami residents who have never played soccer. 85 148 of 185 Recreational Program South Miami United F.C. (SMUFC) considers its recreational program the lifeblood of the organization, where young players get their first exposure to the sport of soccer. These young athletes play alongside their classmates and are coached by FYSA licensed coaches and qualified volunteers. The rec program serves as the wellspring for travel, identifying ambitious young players early, who can choose a more competitive path to accelerate their soccer development. The recreational program is pivotal in achieving SMUFC's goals, providing a safe and enjoyable environment where children can learn soccer in a positive atmosphere. The program offers: • Recreational Leagues for Ages 2-12: Twice annually, with different formats like 4v4 for U3-U7 in the Shooting Stars League, and 7v7 for older age groups up to U12. The U13- Ul6 age group participates in co-ed teen group training. • Seasonal Schedules: The fall Rec league runs from September through December, and the spring Rec league from February through May. Teams practice twice a week, Monday through Friday, with games primarily on Saturdays and occasionally on Friday evenings. All recreational schedules are posted online and in each team chat. SMUFC provide a balanced season of play with all teams in the age division. Schedule changes are allowed to accommodate for other activities and commitments, with time set aside for re- scheduled games. Registration for the Recreational Program is online at www.smufc.net and through League Apps. 86 149 of 185 • Focus on Fair Play: Rec League is focused on core skill building and game play in a fun learning environment. One of the tenets of the Recreational Program is equal playing time FOR ALL PLAYERS. To help accomplish this goal, coaches, managers, and parents are advised of this basic principle, and everyone is encouraged to abide by the spirit of this rule. Scores are not kept in the recreational league to foster a less competitive environment, and there are no playoffs. This encourages coaches to focus on the development of the children rather than just coaching to win. Competitive Program South Miami United F.C. has established itself in the South Florida Youth Soccer Community with its Competitive Teams: U7-U18 Boys & Girls. 87 150ofl85 ade This program is designed for soccer players with advanced abilities who want to play the game at a competitive level. The competitive program is designed for those players that exhibit talent and commitment to participate in competitive leagues locally and throughout Florida with an occasional out-of-state tournament. All SMUFC coaches are licensed with the US Soccer federation. Players are assessed in annual tryouts during the first week of May and are later invited to teams based on their skill level. Players are regularly evaluated by a coach and the Director of Coaching to determine if what level of team they should play on. South Miami United F.c.'s Competitive teams participate in a variety of leagues and tournaments. Each team attends leagues and tournaments based on the skill level of their team. Coaches and Directors evaluate each team to determine which events they should attend and what level is most appropriate for each individual team. • Teams & Age groups: SMUFC Competitive Program start at U7-U8 with what we call "Future Stars" and progress up to U18. Most age groups have 2-3 teams. Our competitive teams vary in their level of experience. The teams are organized by color categories: Black, White, and Green. They are named according to their level of play: Black teams are the highest level, followed by the White teams and then the Green teams. Competitive teams are created to conform and play within the various guidelines of United States Soccer Association: 7v7, 9v9 or llvll. • U7-U8 Future Stars: Play 7v7, with 12 players per team. • U9-U10: Play 7v7 with 12 players per team. • Ull-U12: Play 9v9 with 14 players per team. • Ul3-U18: Play llvll with 16-18 players per team. • Annual Commitment and Training Schedules: The competitive program starts in August and runs through May, totaling 10 months. Teams practice three times a week, Monday thru Friday, with matches on weekends, focusing on developing various soccer skills and tactics. • Tournaments: Depending on the team's skill level, they participate in various leagues and tournaments. Black teams attend five to eight tournaments per season. White teams attend approximately four and Green teams a minimum of three. 88 I SI of 185 South Miami United F.C.

Although the emphasis of training sessions varies according to age level and skill level, SMUFC Players are encouraged and challenged to exceed their own abilities in an environment of positive reinforcement. Our philosophy is to develop well-rounded soccer players who are technically skilled, tactically savvy, physically fit, mentally strong, and above all, passionate about the game. Our methodology consists in helping players reach their full potential and achieve success on and off the field sustained in the following philosophies: 1. Age-Appropriate Training: Our training sessions are tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each age group. We understand that younger players require more basic skills development, while older players can handle more advanced techniques and tactics. 2. Player-Centered Approach: We believe in putting the needs and development of the player first. Our coaches focus on individual player growth, rather than just team success. We provide a supportive and positive environment for players to learn and improve. 92 155 of 185 3. Technical Skills Development: We emphasize the importance of mastering fundamental soccer skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, and ball control. Players participate in drills and exercises designed to improve their technical abilities. 4. Tactical Understanding: As players progress through the age groups, we introduce more complex tactical concepts such as positioning, movement off the ball, and team strategies. We help players understand the game at a deeper level and make smart decisions on the field. 5. Physical Conditioning: We incorporate fitness training into our sessions to help players improve their strength, speed, agility, and endurance. A strong physical foundation is essential for success on the soccer field. 6. Mental Preparation: We work with players to develop a positive mindset, mental toughness, and resilience. Soccer can be a challenging sport, and we want our players to be prepared to handle setbacks and adversity. 7. Fun and Enjoyment: Above all, we want our players to have fun and enjoy the game of soccer. We create a supportive and inclusive environment where players feel motivated to learn and grow. Registration and uniforms Competitive team players are invited to register for a team online through League Apps and payments can be submitted annually, semiannually, quarterly, or monthly. Annual registration includes monthly training, FYSA or US Club player card, insurance, and access to all training equipment. All tournament fees, league fees and referee fees are additional cost. Participants order uniform packages directly from the vendor Capelli Sport at approximately $165. SMUFC commitment to the City of South Miami grants a special discount to community residents. Facilities SMUFC's Facilities highlights South Miami Park as the cornerstone of our club's soccer programming. As the primary venue, this park plays an integral role in our strategy to provide a top-tier training environment that facilitates the development of young soccer talents. Its central location and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal setting for both practices and matches. South Miami Park, as SMUFC's primary venue, has evolved into much more than a training ground; it has become a vibrant hub for the community. This park serves as a gathering place where players and their families converge to enjoy soccer and partake in a variety of recreational activities. While young athletes engage in soccer, parents and other family members often utilize the track and field facilities for exercise, making it a dynamic spot for community interaction. 93 156of185 Many club participants reside in the nearby neighborhoods of South Miami and Coral Gables, enhancing the local flavor of gatherings and events. This proximity contributes to a strong sense of community as families from these areas frequently meet, cheer for their teams, and engage in community-building activities. Through regular soccer training sessions, matches, and special events, SMUFC has become a symbol of community cohesion in South Miami, demonstrating the powerful role that sports can play in bringing people together and enhancing communal bonds. SMUFC has expanded its facilities beyond South Miami Park by incorporating La Pichanga Soccer Fields into its training venues. This addition broadens our capacity to host more small-sided soccer games and training sessions, crucial for our young athletes' development. La Pichanga offers additional high-quality pitches that are essential for accommodating the growing demand for our soccer programs and ensuring that all pai1icipants have optimal space and resources for their training. The emphasis on small-sided soccer remains a cornerstone of SMUFC's philosophy. Small-sided games are fundamental to our training methodology because they offer numerous benefits that are critical for the development of young players. By reducing the number of players on the field, this format increases each player's chances to touch the ball, make decisions, and actively participate in the game. Such involvement is vital for skill development, allowing players to gain confidence and improve their soccer abilities more rapidly. Furthermore, small-sided soccer enhances learning by simplifying the game. It reduces the complexity of situations players face, making it easier for them to understand game tactics and master fundamental skills. This setting also allows coaches to provide more personalized feedback and direct guidance, which is invaluable for a player's development. The smaller playing areas improve players' spatial awareness and quick decision-making, while the faster pace of the game boosts their physical fitness and agility. By utilizing both South Miami Park and La Pichanga Soccer Fields, SMUFC not only caters to the practical needs of its expanding programs but also reinforces the importance of small-sided soccer as a powerful tool for nurturing young talent. Community Partnerships River Plate South Miami Youth Soccer Academy This FREE Community Academy is provided in partnership by River Plate Miami, South Miami United Football Club, and the City of South Miami.

All the travel players purchase pinks socks, and the teams wear them to each match all October long. The proceeds go to the Susan G. Kernen Foundation. Soccer Gear Giveaway Annually, SMUFC puts together a soccer gear collection. During tryouts in May families are encouraged to donate their old uniforms, cleats, and gear. Previous Collection Drive donations have benefit underprivileged children in Cameroon, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Photo courtesy of the Volunteer Channel Foundation Inc. In the picture children in Venezuela are geared up with SMUFC uniforms for their upcoming match. H oliday Toy Drive In December we participate in collecting donation for the City of South Miami Toy Giveaway. Families at SMUFC are invited to bring in unwrapped gifts for kids. The City of South Miami disperses these to underprivileged kids at the annual event at the Gibson-Bethel Community Center. 95 158 of 185 Special Olympics Inter Miami FC Unified Team The Inter Miami FC Unified Team, a commendable initiative championed by the Special Olympics and facilitated by SMUFC, stands as a beacon of inclusion and community spirit. Under the guidance of our Club Director, this program provides a platform where athletes with disabilities can participate in sports, embodying the true essence of champions. The effort to integrate sports into the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities has not only brought the joy of sports to a broader community but has also become a lighthouse of inclusion.

This event highlighted SMUFC's dedication to providing comprehensive soccer education to its community, nurturing future generations of soccer enthusiasts and players. Previous Coach Clinics SMUFC has a history of enriching its coaching framework through comprehensive clinics, with a notable session conducted by Diego Lanzani, the esteemed Academy Director from Argentines Juniors. This collaboration with Lanzani brought an international flair to our educational programs, where he shared his extensive experience with 30 coaches from SMUFC and Dade County Public Schools. The clinic was an intensive blend of 40 hours of theoretical instruction complemented by 6 hours of practical application, featuring hands-on sessions with SMUFC players. This robust training equipped local coaches with advanced soccer knowledge and skills, directly benefiting the youth by elevating the level of coaching they receive. The initiative is a testament to SMUFC's commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development among its coaches, all with the aim of nurturing the club's young talent with world- class soccer education.

This camp, free and open to the public, saw an impressive turnout of over 1000 players who had the opportunity to train under the guidance of an elite cadre of local coaches, including those from SMUFC.

(b) For level 1 screening, the employer must submit the information necessary for screening to the Department of Law Enforcement within 5 working days after receiving it. The Department of Law Enforcement shall conduct a search of its records and respond to the employer or agency. The employer must inform the employee whether screening has revealed any disqualifying information. (c) For level 2 screening, the employer or agency must submit the information necessary for screening to the Department of Law Enforcement within 5 working days after receiving it. The Department of Law Enforcement shall perform a criminal history record check of its records and request that the Federal Bureau of Investigation perform a national criminal history record check of its records for each employee for whom the request is made. The Department of Law Enforcement shall respond to the employer or agency, and the employer or agency must inform the employee whether screening has revealed disqualifying information. (d) The person whose background is being checked must supply any missing criminal or other necessary information upon request to the requesting employer or agency within 30 days after receiving the request for the information. (2) Every employee must attest, subject to penalty of perjury, to meeting the requirements for qualifying for employment pursuant to this chapter and agreeing to inform the employer immediately if arrested for any of the disqualifying offenses while employed by the employer. (3) Each employer licensed or registered with an agency must conduct level 2 background screening and must submit to the agency annually or at the time of license renewal, under penalty of perjury, a signed attestation attesting to compliance with the provisions of this chapter. History.—s. 47, ch. 95-228; s. 208, ch. 99-8; s. 46, ch. 2000-349; s. 63, ch. 2001-62; s. 21, ch. 2004- 267; s. 67, ch. 2009-223; s. 39, ch. 2010-114; s. 7, ch. 2014-84. 435.06 Exclusion from employment.— (1) If an employer or agency has reasonable cause to believe that grounds exist for the denial or termination of employment of any employee as a result of background screening, it shall notify the employee in writing, stating the specific record that indicates noncompliance with the standards in this chapter. It is the responsibility of the affected employee to contest his or her disqualification or to request exemption from disqualification. The only basis for contesting the disqualification is proof of mistaken identity. 74 of 83 98 (2)(a) An employer may not hire, select, or otherwise allow an employee to have contact with any vulnerable person that would place the employee in a role that requires background screening until the screening process is completed and demonstrates the absence of any grounds for the denial or termination of employment. If the screening process shows any grounds for the denial or termination of employment, the employer may not hire, select, or otherwise allow the employee to have contact with any vulnerable person that would place the employee in a role that requires background screening unless the employee is granted an exemption for the disqualification by the agency as provided under s. 435.07. (b) If an employer becomes aware that an employee has been arrested for a disqualifying offense, the employer must remove the employee from contact with any vulnerable person that places the employee in a role that requires background screening until the arrest is resolved in a way that the employer determines that the employee is still eligible for employment under this chapter. (c) The employer must terminate the employment of any of its personnel found to be in noncompliance with the minimum standards of this chapter or place the employee in a position for which background screening is not required unless the employee is granted an exemption from disqualification pursuant to s. 435.07. (d) An employer may hire an employee to a position that requires background screening before the employee completes the screening process for training and orientation purposes. However, the employee may not have direct contact with vulnerable persons until the screening process is completed and the employee demonstrates that he or she exhibits no behaviors that warrant the denial or termination of employment. (3) Any employee who refuses to cooperate in such screening or refuses to timely submit the information necessary to complete the screening, including fingerprints if required, must be disqualified for employment in such position or, if employed, must be dismissed. (4) There is no reemployment assistance or other monetary liability on the part of, and no cause of action for damages against, an employer that, upon notice of a conviction or arrest for a disqualifying offense listed under this chapter, terminates the person against whom the report was issued or who was arrested, regardless of whether or not that person has filed for an exemption pursuant to this chapter. History.—s. 47, ch. 95-228; s. 40, ch. 2010-114; s. 65, ch. 2012-30; s. 11, ch. 2012-73. 435.07 Exemptions from disqualification.—Unless otherwise provided by law, the provisions of this section apply to exemptions from disqualification for disqualifying offenses revealed pursuant to background screenings required under this chapter, regardless of whether those disqualifying offenses are listed in this chapter or other laws. (1)1(a) The head of the appropriate agency may grant to any employee otherwise disqualified from employment an exemption from disqualification for: 1. Felonies for which at least 3 years have elapsed since the applicant for the exemption has completed or been lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or nonmonetary condition imposed by the court for the disqualifying felony; 75 of 83 99 2. Misdemeanors prohibited under any of the statutes cited in this chapter or under similar statutes of other jurisdictions for which the applicant for the exemption has completed or been lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or nonmonetary condition imposed by the court; 3. Offenses that were felonies when committed but that are now misdemeanors and for which the applicant for the exemption has completed or been lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or nonmonetary condition imposed by the court; or 4. Findings of delinquency. For offenses that would be felonies if committed by an adult and the record has not been sealed or expunged, the exemption may not be granted until at least 3 years have elapsed since the applicant for the exemption has completed or been lawfully released from confinement, supervision, or nonmonetary condition imposed by the court for the disqualifying offense. (b) A person applying for an exemption who was ordered to pay any amount for any fee, fine, fund, lien, civil judgment, application, costs of prosecution, trust, or restitution as part of the judgment and sentence for any disqualifying felony or misdemeanor must pay the court-ordered amount in full before he or she is eligible for the exemption. For the purposes of this subsection, the term “felonies” means both felonies prohibited under any of the statutes cited in this chapter or under similar statutes of other jurisdictions. (2) Persons employed, or applicants for employment, by treatment providers who treat adolescents 13 years of age and older who are disqualified from employment solely because of crimes under s. 796.07(2)(e), s. 810.02(4), s. 812.014(2)(c), s. 817.563, s. 831.01, s. 831.02, s. 893.13, or s. 893.147, or any related criminal attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy under s. 777.04, may be exempted from disqualification from employment pursuant to this chapter without application of the waiting period in subparagraph (1)(a)1. (3)1(a) In order for the head of an agency to grant an exemption to any employee, the employee must demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the employee should not be disqualified from employment. Employees seeking an exemption have the burden of setting forth clear and convincing evidence of rehabilitation, including, but not limited to, the circumstances surrounding the criminal incident for which an exemption is sought, the time period that has elapsed since the incident, the nature of the harm caused to the victim, and the history of the employee since the incident, or any other evidence or circumstances indicating that the employee will not present a danger if employment or continued employment is allowed. 1(b) The agency may consider as part of its deliberations of the employee’s rehabilitation the fact that the employee has, subsequent to the conviction for the disqualifying offense for which the exemption is being sought, been arrested for or convicted of another crime, even if that crime is not a disqualifying offense. (c) The decision of the head of an agency regarding an exemption may be contested through the hearing procedures set forth in chapter 120. The standard of review by the administrative law judge is whether the agency’s intended action is an abuse of discretion. 76 of 83 100 (4)1(a) Disqualification from employment under this chapter may not be removed from, nor may an exemption be granted to, any personnel who is found guilty of, regardless of adjudication, or who has entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty to, any felony covered by s. 435.03 or s. 435.04 solely by reason of any pardon, executive clemency, or restoration of civil rights. 1(b) Disqualification from employment under this chapter may not be removed from, nor may an exemption be granted to, any person who is a: 1.

Executive Summary Letter of interest South Miami United F.C. (SMUFC) is a well-established youth soccer program in Florida, founded in 2014 by Serge Robert Maseri, a South Miami resident. As a locally owned, community-focused organization, we cater to children and teenagers aged U3 to U18 across all skill levels. Mission Statement Our mission at South Miami United F.C. is to cultivate a thriving soccer community that nurtures young talent and fosters a lifelong passion for the sport. We aim to develop soccer skills in a supportive and inclusive environment, while instilling core values such as integrity, honesty, dedication, and teamwork. By providing comprehensive soccer progr ams—from recreational to competitive levels—we are dedicated to enhancing the physical, social, and emotional growth of all participants, empowering them to achieve their fullest potential both on and off the field. 112 6 Vision Statement Our vision is to be recognized as a premier youth soccer club in South Florida, renowned for nurturing young athletes into exceptional players and honorable individuals. We are committed to shaping not just skilled athletes, but also good humans who will thrive in all aspects of life. By fostering a positive impact on their character and community involvement, we aim to inspire a new generation of leaders who excel both on the field and in their communities. Developmental Pathways Our club offers three distinct developmental pathways for our players: • SMUFC Recreational Program: This serves as an introduction to soccer for young children aged 4 to 12, with specialized training for teens aged U13-U15. Played at South Miami Park, this program focuses on fun, exercise, teamwork, and skill development while instilling the values of sportsmanship and community involvement. Coached mostly by parents, it provides a supportive environment for children to learn and grow. We hold two practices each week over 16 weeks, with games on Saturdays —ensuring at least 8 games per player. • SMUFC Boys & Girls Travel/Competitive Program: SMUFC’s competitive youth soccer program is available for boys and girls U8-U18 who seek a more competitive experience. This program offers rigorous training, tactical development, and participation in local leagues and tournaments across the state. Teams are coached by licensed professionals. Practices are held three times a week from August to May with league games on weekends and approximately one tournament a month. We offer specialized training sessions, competitive league play, and opportunities to participate in tournaments at various levels. Our goal is to foster a supportive and motivating environment where players can reach their full potential and grow as individuals both on and off the field. • SMUFC Academy Program: Bridging the gap between recreational and travel soccer, this unique program offers licensed coaching and a flexible schedule of training and tournaments. It provides young players with the opportunity to transition smoothly from recreational to competitive play. Program Overview and Proof of Experience SMUFC has been providing soccer services continuously for ten years and has a proven track record within the City of South Miami. Our experience demonstrates comprehensive knowledge of business operations and the legal aspects of sports management and a strong managerial background in sports facilities and programs, supported by recognized coaching certifications from leading sports and soccer associations. 113 7 Since our birth in 2014, we have provided services to shape children and teenagers into loving soccer, as a pathway to leverage better human beings at the service of their dreams and the ir community. Moreover, SMUFC is affiliated with the Florida Youth Soccer Association, the South Florida Youth Soccer Association, US Club Soccer, United States Soccer Federation, South Florida Premier League, Elite Development Program (EDP), and The Florida Girls Academy, ensuring adherence to domestic and international standards of sportsmanship and fair play. Proof of Competitive Success Over our ten-year existence, SMUFC’s travel teams have achieved remarkable success in various tournaments: • Champions and Finalists: Teams have won titles in prestigious events such as the Palm Beach Gardens Classic, Weston Cup, Sarasota Cup Girls Weekend, Tampa Bay Super Cup, United Soccer Cup, South Florida Super Cup, Sharks Soccer Cup & Showcase, and the annual Dimitri Cup. • Elite Competitions: SMUFC teams have qualified to play in the Florida State Premiere League and have been finalists in the FYSA Statewide Presidents Cup and the Florida State Invitational Tournament. • National and International Exposure: Our teams have participated in the Sports Recruiting US College Showcase in Naples and have been accepted into the prestigious Danone Cup Tournament in Orlando, where the winner represents the United States in an international youth soccer competition. Special Programs and Community Engagement We have collaborated with both domestic and international entities, including Real Racing of Santander, to offer enriched training experiences and expand soccer's popularity both locally and globally. In partnership with Real Racing, we host our Annual International Soccer Im mersive Experience in Santander, Spain. This program invites approximately 30 SMUFC Coed players each year to train at the Racing facilities, where they gain invaluable experience by interacting with professional players and coaches. This exchange is reciprocal; we have also conducted winter camps in Miami, involving our South Miami United players and the broader SoMi community. These camps are led by Gonzalo Colsa, Academy Director at Real Racing, further bridging the gap between local talent and international soccer expertise. As soccer continues to grow in popularity, SMUFC remains dedicated to being a trusted resource for the City of South Miami and its surrounding areas, with a steadfast commitment to community engagement and enrichment. To achieve this goal, we are committed to expanding our Kick-It Clinics held at the Bethel Community Center, benefiting numerous children each year. 114 8 Additionally, we will offer a 20% discount to SOMI residents, ensuring accessibility to our programs for local families. Furthermore, we are devoted to strengthening our scholarship need- based program, providing valuable opportunities for underprivileged children to participate in our soccer programs. Through these initiatives, we aim to deepen our connections with the community and promote inclusivity in sports participation. Final Remarks As the founder with extensive prior experience in youth soccer at South Miami United, Coral Estates Soccer Club, and The Cushman School, and the current operator of the Youth and Teen Soccer Program in the city of South Miami; I am committed to enhancing the quality of life in our city through sports. SMUFC is dedicated to nurturing not only skilled soccer players but also well-rounded individuals who embody our core values both on and off the field. In conclusion, South Miami United F.C. is profoundly committed to the City of South Miami, fully embracing the opportunity to contribute positively to our community through our comprehensive soccer programs.

P~l roposer lmtia s 35 of83 121 Public Entity Crimes Affidavit I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including but not limited to, any Proposal or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentations. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means: 1. A predecessor or successor of a· person convicted of a public entity crime; or 2 . An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate. I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(l)(e}, Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which proposals or applies to Proposal on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes those officers, directors, executives, and partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity. Based on information and belief, the statement, which I have marked below, is true in relations to the entity submitting this sworn statement. (INDICATE WHICH STATEMENT APPLIES.) □ Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with ad convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. □ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the 36 of83 122 management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. □ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the final Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list (attach a copy of the final order). I understand that the submission of this form to the contracting officer for the public entity identified in paragraph I above is for that public entity only and that this form is valid through December 31 of the calendar year in which it is filed.

Proof of Experience About South Miami United F.C. South Miami United Football Club (SMUFC) has established itself as a cornerstone of youth soccer in South Miami since its inception in 2014. Initially launched at South Miami Park, the club has continuously expanded its influence under the guidance of Robert Maseri, who was pivotal in starting the travel program out of Coral Estates alongside the recreational programs at the newly renamed South Miami Park, previously known as Downrite Park. The overarching mission of SMUFC is to provide a community-centric space where young athletes and their families can immerse themselves in the joys of soccer. This commitment extends to promoting sportsmanship, fun, and fair play within a secure and positive environment. Over the past five years, SMUFC has also taken on the Operation and Management Services for the South Miami Youth and Teen Soccer Program. Their management has been marked by impeccable performance and results, demonstrating the club’s capability in not only coaching and training but also in effective program administration. 141 35 Programming and Activities Recreational and Competitive Program Annually, SMUFC rolls out an array of soccer-related activities catering to different skill levels and age groups. For the recreational level, programming is available in both fall and spring seasons, focusing on children ages U3 to U12. This level emphasizes fun and skill development over competition, with various team sizes adapted to age groups, ranging from 4v4 formats in the younger divisions to 7v7 as the players mature. On a more competitive front, SMUFC offers travel soccer for ages U7 to U18. This program, which demands an annual commitment running from August to May, is designed for players showing advanced skills and dedication. The competitive teams participate in local and statewide leagues, with some venturing to out-of-state tournaments. The training is rigorous, aimed at enhancing both individual skills and team tactics, with teams categorized into levels —Black, White, and Green—based on their proficiency and experience. 142 36 Camps and Clinics In addition to regular season play, SMUFC organizes camps and clinics during school breaks. These camps, held at South Miami Park and Gibson Bethel Community Center, focus on nurturing individual skills as well as teamwork and leadership qualities. They ar e accessible to a wide age range, from 4 to 17 years old, and are structured to provide intensive training in a condensed format. The clinics, particularly, are geared towards residents new to soccer, ensuring everyone in the community has an opportunity to engage with the sport. Community Impact and Accessibility A critical aspect of SMUFC's programming is its inclusivity. The club strives to ensure that no child is barred from participating due to financial constraints. This philosophy is embedded in their community outreach initiatives and scholarship programs. SMUFC serves as a vital institution in South Miami, not only fostering young talent but also uniting the community through sport. By providing diverse programs that cater to various needs and skill levels, SMUFC upholds its foundational belief in the developmental power of sports, which goes beyond physical abilities to include character building and community engagement. This comprehensive approach ensures that all participants, regardless of their background or aspirations, find a place and a pathway in soccer through SMUFC's extensive and inclusive offerings. 143 37 Why SMUFC?

I am reaching out to express my support for renewing the license of the football club situated in South Miami Park. My daughter has had a tremendous experience being a part of SMUFC and the coaches have been truly exceptional. The involvement in youth sports plays a role in shaping individuals and I strongly believe that continuing at South Miami Park is crucial. Having played in the NBA previously, including for the 2012-2013 NBA Champion Miami Heat, I recognize the significance of youth sports and its positive influence on child’s growth. I am appreciative that my daughter has had an enriching and sage team to be a part of all these years. South Miami Park has served as a great facility for the teams. Miami-Dade lacks quality facilities throughout the country and we have always felt privileged to practice at South Miami Park. If the point of the park system is to bring people together, then South Miami Park has accomplished this well over the years with SMUFC. I sincerely hope that this relationship can continue. I wholeheartedly support the renewal of the SMUFC license. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any inquiries. Thank you.

Program Plan Organizational approach SMUFC has been running its youth soccer program from South Miami Park for the past ten years, starting in 2014. The club was formally incorporated that year, with Robert Maseri spearheading the travel program out of Coral Estates and the recreational progr am with South Miami United F.C. at South Miami Park, formerly known as Downrite Park. The ongoing goal of SMUFC is to be a place where the community comes together, where young children and their families can learn and enjoy the sport of soccer, emphasizing good sportsmanship, fun, and fair play in a safe, positive environment. Once started in the fall of 2014, SMUFC has offered ongoing annual programs: Recreational soccer is offered for children who want to play soccer in an organized league. Recreational soccer programs are held in the fall and spring for kids ages U 3-U12. Travel / competitive soccer is a higher-level program with more rigorous training and competitive league play. A full range of training complements these different levels of participation. Travel soccer is aimed for players ages U7 through U18. It is compr ised by an annual commitment that starts in August and runs through May, totaling 10 months. Annual Programming provided by South Miami United F.C. includes a variety of leagues, camps, training, and clinics throughout the year. This programming serves children of all ages and abilities, regardless of their ability to pay. During the winter, spring and summer breaks, we offer weekly camps for kids of all ages 4 through 17. Camps are focused on individual skill development, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. Camps are held at South Miami Park and Gibson Bethel Community Center Monday thru Friday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm. Half-Day: $200 per week / Single day rate: $40. Clinics are provided to South Miami residents who have never played soccer. 235 86 Recreational Program South Miami United F.C. (SMUFC) considers its recreational program the lifeblood of the organization, where young players get their first exposure to the sport of soccer. These young athletes play alongside their classmates and are coached by FYSA licensed coaches and qualified volunteers. The rec program serves as the wellspring for travel, identifying ambitious young players early, who can choose a more competitive path to accelerate their soccer development. The recreational program is pivotal in achieving SMUFC’s goals, providing a safe and enjoyable environment where children can learn soccer in a positive atmosphere. The program offers: • Recreational Leagues for Ages 2-12: Twice annually, with different formats like 4v4 for U3-U7 in the Shooting Stars League, and 7v7 for older age groups up to U12. The U13- U16 age group participates in co-ed teen group training. • Seasonal Schedules: The fall Rec league runs from September through December, and the spring Rec league from February through May. Teams practice twice a week, Monday through Friday, with games primarily on Saturdays and occasionally on Friday evenings. All recreational schedules are posted online and in each team chat. SMUFC provide a balanced season of play with all teams in the age division. Schedule changes are allowed to accommodate for other activities and commitments, with time set aside for re - scheduled games. Registration for the Recreational Program is online at www.smufc.net and through League Apps. 236 87 • Focus on Fair Play: Rec League is focused on core skill building and game play in a fun learning environment. One of the tenets of the Recreational Program is equal playing time FOR ALL PLAYERS. To help accomplish this goal, coaches, managers, and parents are advised of this basic principle, and everyone is encouraged to abide by the spirit of this rule. Scores are not kept in the recreational league to foster a less competitive environment, and there are no playoffs. This encourages coaches to focus on the development of the children rather than just coaching to win. Competitive Program South Miami United F.C. has established itself in the South Florida Youth Soccer Community with its Competitive Teams: U7-U18 Boys & Girls. 237 88 This program is designed for soccer players with advanced abilities who want to play the game at a competitive level. The competitive program is designed for those players that exhibit talent and commitment to participate in competitive leagues locally and throughout Florida with an occasional out-of-state tournament. All SMUFC coaches are licensed with the US Soccer federation. Players are assessed in annual tryouts during the first week of May and are later invited to teams based on their skill level. Players are regularly evaluated by a coach and the Director of Coaching to determine if what level of team they should play on. South Miami United F.C.’s Competitive teams participate in a variety of leagues and tournaments. Each team attends leagues and tournaments based on the skill level of their team. Coaches and Directors evaluate each team to determine which events they shoul d attend and what level is most appropriate for each individual team. • Teams & Age groups: SMUFC Competitive Program start at U7-U8 with what we call “Future Stars” and progress up to U18. Most age groups have 2-3 teams. Our competitive teams vary in their level of experience. The teams are organized by color categories: Black, White, and Green. They are named according to their level of play: Black teams are the highest level, followed by the White teams and then the Green teams. Competitive teams are created to conform and play within the various guidelines of United States Soccer Association: 7v7, 9v9 or 11v11. • U7-U8 Future Stars: Play 7v7, with 12 players per team. • U9-U10: Play 7v7 with 12 players per team. • U11-U12: Play 9v9 with 14 players per team. • U13-U18: Play 11v11 with 16-18 players per team. • Annual Commitment and Training Schedules: The competitive program starts in August and runs through May, totaling 10 months. Teams practice three times a week, Monday thru Friday, with matches on weekends, focusing on developing various soccer skills and tactics. • Tournaments: Depending on the team's skill level, they participate in various leagues and tournaments. Black teams attend five to eight tournaments per season. White teams attend approximately four and Green teams a minimum of three. 238 89 South Miami United F.C.

Although the emphasis of training sessions varies according to age level and skill level, SMUFC Players are encouraged and challenged to exceed their own abilities in an environment of positive reinforcement. Our philosophy is to develop well-rounded soccer players who are technically skilled, tactically savvy, physically fit, mentally strong, and above all, passionate about the game. Our methodology consists in helping players reach their full potential and achieve success on and off the field sustained in the following philosophies: 1. Age-Appropriate Training: Our training sessions are tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each age group. We understand that younger players require more basic skills development, while older players can handle more advanced techniques and tactics. 2. Player-Centered Approach: We believe in putting the needs and development of the player first. Our coaches focus on individual player growth, rather than just team success. We provide a supportive and positive environment for players to learn and improve. 242 93 3. Technical Skills Development: We emphasize the importance of mastering fundamental soccer skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, and ball control. Players participate in drills and exercises designed to improve their technical abilities. 4. Tactical Understanding: As players progress through the age groups, we introduce more complex tactical concepts such as positioning, movement off the ball, and team strategies. We help players understand the game at a deeper level and make smart decisions on the field. 5. Physical Conditioning: We incorporate fitness training into our sessions to help players improve their strength, speed, agility, and endurance. A strong physical foundation is essential for success on the soccer field. 6. Mental Preparation: We work with players to develop a positive mindset, mental toughness, and resilience. Soccer can be a challenging sport, and we want our players to be prepared to handle setbacks and adversity. 7. Fun and Enjoyment: Above all, we want our players to have fun and enjoy the game of soccer. We create a supportive and inclusive environment where players feel motivated to learn and grow. Registration and uniforms Competitive team players are invited to register for a team online through League Apps and payments can be submitted annually, semiannually, quarterly, or monthly.

Facilities SMUFC's Facilities highlights South Miami Park as the cornerstone of our club's soccer programming. As the primary venue, this park plays an integral role in our strategy to provide a top-tier training environment that facilitates the development of young soccer talents. Its central location and well-maintained facilities make it an ideal setting for both practices and matches. South Miami Park, as SMUFC's primary venue, has evolved into much more than a training ground; it has become a vibrant hub for the community. This park serves as a gathering place where players and their families converge to enjoy soccer and partake in a variety of recreational activities. While young athletes engage in soccer, parents and other family members often utilize the track and field facilities for exercise, making it a dynamic spot for community interaction. 243 94 Many club participants reside in the nearby neighborhoods of South Miami and Coral Gables, enhancing the local flavor of gatherings and events. This proximity contributes to a strong sense of community as families from these areas frequently meet, cheer fo r their teams, and engage in community-building activities. Through regular soccer training sessions, matches, and special events, SMUFC has become a symbol of community cohesion in South Miami, demonstrating the powerful role that sports can play in bringing people together and enhancing communal bonds. SMUFC has expanded its facilities beyond South Miami Park by incorporating La Pichanga Soccer Fields into its training venues. This addition broadens our capacity to host more small-sided soccer games and training sessions, crucial for our young athletes' development. La Pichanga offers additional high-quality pitches that are essential for accommodating the growing demand for our soccer programs and ensuring that all participants have optimal space and resources for their training. The emphasis on small-sided soccer remains a cornerstone of SMUFC's philosophy. Small-sided games are fundamental to our training methodology because they offer numerous benefits that are critical for the development of young players. By reducing the number of players on the field, this format increases each player's chances to touch the ball, make decisions, and actively participate in the game. Such involvement is vital for skill development, allowing players to gain confidence and improve their soccer abilities more rapidly. Furthermore, small-sided soccer enhances learning by simplifying the game. It reduces the complexity of situations players face, making it easier for them to understand game tactics and master fundamental skills. This setting also allows coaches to provide more personalized feedback and direct guidance, which is invaluable for a player's development. The smaller playing areas improve players' spatial awareness and quick decision-making, while the faster pace of the game boosts their physical fitness and agility. By utilizing both South Miami Park and La Pichanga Soccer Fields, SMUFC not only caters to the practical needs of its expanding programs but also reinforces the importance of small -sided soccer as a powerful tool for nurturing young talent. Community Partnerships River Plate South Miami Youth Soccer Academy This FREE Community Academy is provided in partnership by River Plate Miami, South Miami United Football Club, and the City of South Miami.

All the travel players purchase pinks socks, and the teams wear them to each match all October long. The proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Founda tion.

Under the guidance of our Club Director, this program provides a platform where ath letes with disabilities can participate in sports, embodying the true essence of champions. The effort to integrate sports into the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities has not only brought the joy of sports to a broader community but has also become a lighthouse of inclusion. The Inter Miami FC Unified Team, through its proactive role and commitment to inclusive play, exemplifies the transformative power of sports in promoting unity, understanding, and collaboration within the community. The successes of this initiative, spearheaded by dedicated individuals like Daniel Cartaya and the collective effort of the SMUFC staff, reflect a deeper commitment to enriching lives and enhancing social cohesion through the beautiful game. 246 97 Photos source: https://www.intermiamicf.com/news/2023-inter-miami-cf-special-olympics- unified-team-earns-a-win-in-trip-to-new-yor School Collaborations Moreover, SMUFC representatives visit local schools and community centers to offer soccer clinics to encourage kids that are not exposed to the sport to get involved.

Real Racing Santander Immersion Program SMUFC's partnership with Real Racing Santander epitomizes a visionary approach to youth soccer development through an annual program known as the International Yearly Soccer Immersive Experience, hosted in the scenic city of Santander, Spain. This innovati ve initiative provides around 30 selected male and female SMUFC athletes with an extraordinary opportunity to train within the world-class facilities of the Racing Club. During this experience, the players immerse themselves in a professional soccer environment, engaging directly with seasoned players and top-tier coaches from Real Racing Santander. The program is designed not only to elevate their technical prowess on the pitch but also to expand their horizons, offering them a glimpse into the diverse tactics, strategies, and soccer cultures from around the world. This cultural and professional exchange serves to not only to enhance the players' soccer abilities but also to enrich their personal development, cultivating a comprehensive understanding of global soccer practices and fostering a deeper appreciation for the sport's international landscape. 248 99 Futsal Clinic at Gibson Bethel Community Center with Gozalo Colsa In December 2023, SMUFC hosted an exceptional Futsal Clinic led by Racing de Santander Academy Director Gonzalo Colsa, a distinguished figure in the world of soccer with a rich background as a Spanish professional footballer. This week -long event, open to young athletes ranging from U8 to U17, provided a unique opportunity for promising soccer talents to hone their skills and deepen their understanding of the game. The clinic was meticulously designed to a broad spectrum of young players, offering them the opportunity to learn from one of the best in the field. Colsa's guidance during the clinic emphasized the technical, tactical, and psychological aspects of futsal, a variation of soccer known for its emphasis on ball control and quick play. This event highlighted SMUFC's dedication to providing comprehensive soccer education to its community, nurturing future generations of soccer enthusiasts and players. Previous Coach Clinics SMUFC has a history of enriching its coaching framework through comprehensive clinics, with a notable session conducted by Diego Lanzani, the esteemed Academy Director from Argentinos Juniors. This collaboration with Lanzani brought an international flair to our educational programs, where he shared his extensive experience with 30 coaches from SMUFC and Dade County Public Schools. The clinic was an intensive blend of 40 hours of theoretical instruction complemented by 6 hours of practical application, featuring hands-on sessions with SMUFC players. This robust training equipped local coaches with advanced soccer knowledge and skills, directly benefiting the youth by elevating the level of coaching they receive. The initiative is a testament to SMUFC's commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development among its coaches, all with the aim of nurturing the club's young talent with world- class soccer education. SMUFC has been at the forefront of delivering remarkable soccer experiences, as demonstrated in the summer of 2017.

This camp, free and open to the public, saw an impressive turnout of over 1000 players who had the opportunity to train under the guidance of an elite cadre of local coaches, including those from SMUFC. It was a memorable occasion that not only highlighted SMUFC’s growing stature in the soccer community but also its commitment to making top -tier soccer accessible to all.
