History

Founded by Kurt Herbach in 1957, the Kickers won their first national title, the 1967 Over-30 championship. By 1989, the team had won eleven Florida Suncoast Soccer League championships and four Florida State Cups.[1] The clubs most prestigious victory came on the national stage winning the 1989 National Challenge Cup (aka US Open Cup).[2]

In 1997, the team moved to Land O'Lakes, Florida, eventually taking the name of Florida Kickers FC. That year the club won both the National Amateur Cup and the National Over-30 championship. In 2008, it won its third national amateur championship.[3]
