San Diego, April 26th, 2025 – Surf Nation is proud to announce the launch of our newest partner club, Houston Surf. In the world of youth sports, the Surf brand is renowned for professionalism, elite event management, high-quality coaching, and, most importantly, a deep commitment to player development. Surf’s mission is to create the best experiences and opportunities for players, and we’re excited to grow our presence in the Houston, Texas and surrounding communities.
Effectively immediately, Legacy Soccer Club will transition to Houston Surf. The club launches in partnership with Surf Nation, an organization which has a proven track record of developing players into international youth training centers, professional academies, and collegiate ranks. Led by a truly experienced leadership team with deep roots in the community, Houston Surf will continue delivering a high-quality player development environment. Through the transition to Surf, all players, families, and coaches will gain access to greater resources both on and off the field.
“I am delighted to welcome Legacy Soccer Club, now Houston Surf, to our community. It was clear from our initial conversation that both organizations aligned from a mission perspective, ” says Andy Prosser, Surf Nation Director. “Houston is an incredibly competitive market. What Legacy Soccer Club has achieved to date – both on and off the field, plus creating a family environment – is credit to the leadership, coaches, players and families. We are incredibly excited to join their journey, and excited to see what we can achieve together, while providing further resources and opportunities that will ensure Houston Surf becomes the primary destination for grassroots development.”
“For the past five years Legacy Soccer Club has grown from seventy players in 2020 to seven hundred players in 2025. We are in a great place as a club, and the timing is right to partner with the #1 youth soccer program in the country. We simply cannot wait for the 2025-2026 year, as Legacy Soccer Club keeps all the positives that have taken us this far, while adding the resources, opportunities, and relationships that will elevate all players and teams as Houston Surf,” says Lee Baker, Club Director.
An additional benefit and part of joining the Surf Nation community, players from Houston Surf will now have direct access to Surf Select, an unprecedented identification program built through Surf Nation for players U9 through U17 at the Regional and National level. The Surf Select program draws from the Surf Network, a player pool that expands from Puerto Rico and Rhode Island to Hawaii and Canada to compete in some of the best domestic and international events in the world of football.
