Brooke House

Brooke House FC belongs to that pattern: it grew out of the Brooke House College Football Academy, a name that traces back to a footballing school set up in the UK in 1967, which added its own football academy in 2008. The Florida side arrived in 2023, an offshoot planted an ocean away from where the idea started.

Men play in USL League Two, women in the USL W League, both age brackets that feed into the college and professional game rather than settle into one themselves. Matches are played at the Austin-Tindall Sports Complex in Lake Nona, a shared multi-pitch facility rather than a ground built for the club alone, holding around 1,500 in its seated capacity with room to stretch to 4,000 when needed. Kelme supplies the kit, in sky blue and navy.

There is no trophy case to speak of yet — the club has picked up nothing since it started, which is not surprising for an outfit still finding its footing three years in.
