San Diego, CA., February 10, 2025— Surf Nation is proud to announce the launch of our newest partner club, Back Mountain 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 experiences and opportunities for players, and we're excited to announce our partnership with Back Mountain Surf to bring these opportunities to their community and surrounding areas.
Effective immediately, Back Mountain Soccer Club, based in Dallas, PA, will transition and rebrand to Back Mountain Surf Soccer Club. Launching in partnership with Surf Nation, which has a proven track record of developing players into International Youth Training Centers, Professional Academies, and into the Collegiate Ranks. Led by an experienced coaching staff with a strong collegiate background, staff, and administrators, Back Mountain Surf will continue to provide a high-quality player development experience and, through the transition to Surf, will now have access to further opportunities for its players and coaching staff on a regional and national level.
"We have a really exciting opportunity in front of us given the rural area of Dallas, PA, and a duty to offer the players further opportunities within the Surf Nation program," says Andy Prosser, Surf Nation Director. "Learning about the club, community, and the ambition to create something different in the marketplace has been interesting. We are aligned on our overall mission and the resources needed to reach our goals. This is a really exciting project, and I look forward to working with the Back Mountain leadership team to benefit the players & families."
"We are thrilled to announce that our club program will be transitioning to Back Mountain Surf, joining the Surf Nation family," says Michael Pitcavage, President. "This change will bring even more resources and opportunities to our players, allowing them to grow and develop in new ways. While our name and resources are evolving, our mission to nurture young athletes and foster a passion for soccer remains unchanged."
As part of the Surf Nation network, Back Mountain Surf players and families will have access to additional support on and off the field to ensure we strive to be the premium soccer destination within the community and surrounding areas. The top players from Back Mountain Surf will have direct access to Surf Select, an unprecedented identification program built through Surf Nation for players U9 through U17 at the Regional and National levels. 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 world football.
