Tallahassee Soccer Club is an American soccer club based in Tallahassee, Florida that competes in the National Premier Soccer League. It formerly played in the Gulf Coast Premier League.[1]

History

Tallahassee SC was founded on May 3, 2018, by residents of Tallahassee, FL, Leon County, FL including Chris Petley, Mike Bonfanti and 4 others looking to bring a semi-professional soccer team to Tallahassee.[2]

In February 2019, Josh Bruno was named as the first head coach of the team.[3] The club played its first ever match against Savannah Clovers FC on May 4, 2019, in front of over 600 fans at the FSU Intramural Fields. [4]

Tallahassee Soccer Club GK Hugo Peruzzi was named GCPL Eastern Conference MVP and coach Josh Bruno selected Coach of the Year after TLHSC won the conference in its inaugural season. Additionally, Tallahassee SC had the most players selected to the East's Best XI team. Joining Peruzzi was forward Boneco Bazil and midfielders Johnny Fitzgerald and Aron Wimberly. [5]

Hugo Peruzzi, along with Lev Ari from Mobile F.C., were the only players from the Eastern Conference picked up for the ALL-CONFERENCE BEST XI GCPL 2019. [6]

On November 12, 2019, it was announced that Tallahassee SC would join the National Premier Soccer League in a newly formed Gulf Coast Conference that featured Tallahassee, Port City FC, AFC Mobile, Pensacola FC, and NPSL mainstays the New Orleans Jesters and Jacksonville Armada.[7] For the 2024 season, Tallahassee SC is set to compete in the new Gulf Coast Sunshine Conference of the NPSL.

The Battle Lions have a strong fan base, which refer to themselves as the Olde Fields Battalions, referring to the meaning of the name Tallahassee.
