Same nonprofit
Still MAYSO underneath
The competitive program remains part of the same community 501(c)(3) that has served Manatee County since 1976.
Competitive soccer · Bradenton, Florida
NXT Florida
MAYSO Magic is becoming NXT Florida: the competitive tier for players who are ready for more, still rooted in the same Manatee County nonprofit.
The club lane, named clearly.
Recreational soccer stays MAYSO. Competitive soccer becomes NXT Florida. That split matters because families should always know which experience they are choosing.
Rec is open-registration, community-first soccer. NXT Florida is the tryout-based pathway for players ready for a higher training and competition commitment. Both sit inside the same nonprofit club ecosystem.
What changes
A new badge, not a new organization.
Same home fields
Built from GT Bray Park
The pathway starts where Bradenton families already know the club: at GT Bray Park, connected to the rec program below it.
New badge
A clearer competitive lane
The NXT Florida name separates the tryout-based competitive tier from MAYSO recreational soccer without replacing the MAYSO identity.
The pathway
A player can start at five and keep climbing.
- 01
Start local
Most players begin in MAYSO rec, learning the game in balanced teams at the same park.
- 02
Ask for more
When a player wants a tryout-based environment, NXT Florida is the next rung rather than a jump to an unfamiliar club.
- 03
Stay connected
Families keep the same nonprofit foundation while the player moves into the NXT competitive badge.

Rec soccer is still MAYSO.
The rebrand applies to the competitive tier. MAYSO rec soccer keeps the MAYSO name, the community-first model and the same open-registration pathway for families across Manatee County.
