About Us
Our History:
​
In 2014, Bryan Reed established Florida Elite Football and Cheerleading, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)3 youth football and cheerleading state league. He founded the organization with the vision of bringing change to youth sports by promoting good sportsmanship, fostering a family-oriented atmosphere, emphasizing the student-athlete, providing a well-structured league, showcasing athletes both on and off the field, and ensuring all athletes have the opportunity to compete. Florida Elite initially included eight organizations, marking the beginning of an exceptional league. Over the years, the league has grown steadily, attracting teams from across the state, ranging from Miami in the south to Jacksonville in the north, Pinellas in the west, and Daytona in the east. Florida Elite is currently in 20 of Florida’s 67 counties.
