The visiting party are being hosted by Retford United who sent two sides to Florida in 2007.
The weekend's cold snap made for a chilly start for the visit but new and renewed friendships provided a warm welcome.
The youngsters are staying with Retford families and have been enjoying a hectic week of football and site seeing.
They kicked off with a friendly against Retford Utd U15s and the two sides produced an entertaining encounter.
The visitors struggled early on in the unfamiliar muddy conditions but in the second half created a number of chances, hitting the crossbar and coming close on several other occasions.
It was the excellent finishing of the home side that ultimately proved decisive.
Other scheduled matches saw Pensacola face a Mid Lincs rep squad as well as games at Bottesford and Boston.
In between those commitments the party has enjoyed visits to Lincoln, London and will round off their week with a tour of Old Trafford.
