“It’s exciting to welcome Brevard Riptide to the W League for the upcoming season,” said Amanda Vandervort, USL Super League and W League President. “The league has built a robust presence in the state of Florida, and we look forward to a competitive Southeast division in 2024.” 

Brevard Riptide will compete in the W League’s Southeast Division in the 2024 season with long-time coach Christofer Felber at the helm. The team will compete in the Southeast Division. 

“A women's team is one of the biggest steps in elevating Brevard County soccer,” said head coach Chris Felber. “Wudson and I crossed paths and found ourselves with a very similar mindsight and now we are working together to create a successful and exciting program that can serve Brevard County. Brevard SC Riptide is here and I could not be more excited!”
