History

South Hillsborough Soccer League was formed in 1979. For the beginning of the 1979-1980 season the league consisted of 6 teams: 1 team in each age group beginning with U-8 through U-19 for a total of 150 players. We were a traveling league back then. We traveled east to Brandon, Antioch, Dover and Turkey Creek. We traveled north to Templ Terrace and Lake Padgett; and west to Forest Hills, Plantation, Town N Country, and Carrollwood. We also traveled to GYSL-Pinellas County, and to Interbay in the South. We started our first season without any referees.

Today, SHSL supports teams in the USA Competitive League, the TARSA (Tampa Area Recreational Scheduling Association) and an in-house adult recreational soccer league. We now have nearly 600 players on more than 50 teams.

In 2007, we opened Spring Soccer with 160 players on 18 teams. Also, in 2007 SHSL hosted a round of the TARSA end of season playoffs for U10 girls. This was the first time SHSL hosted a TARSA playoff round.

Many improvements have been made at SHSL over the years. In 1979, soccer games were played at Vance Vogel Park near the open area of the picnic grounds, south of the baseball fields. Today we have three soccer fields north of the baseball fields and a concession stand, and we continue to grow.

Coming in August we will begin to play at our new fields: Summerfield Park at 11942 Big Bend Road near Summerfield Elementary.

SHSL thanks you for our support. As we continue to grow let us all keep in mind that this is a volunteer league and "We do it for the Kids, for fun, and for the bountiful rewards". Let's all share the same VISION.
