Why Surf Select Regional?

The mission remains our core, creating experiences and opportunities for players within the Surf Nation community. The Regional program allows collaboration and control of the local calendar with the aim to provide an additional step in the evaluation process.

Through Regional program it will increase talent identification to ensure the “best of the best” attend the Surf National team camp to compete for a roster spot to represent Surf Select National Teams (Blue & White) who will compete in some of the top domestic and international events across world football.

The Surf Nation Champions League brings together all U14 teams year after year across our community. The tournament will be used as the identification process at this age group for the Surf Select National Teams (Blue & White) while crowning champions in this highly competitive event. The tournament features teams across every domestic league in the US and will quickly become one of the most competitive tournaments in North America based on the quality being developed within our network of clubs.

Through the Surf Select Regional Program, the National pathway will see the best players selected based on their performance, current stage of development, and character within a Team environment.

National Team Camp:

Players are selected based on their performance in the regional program and will participate in the National Camp to earn a spot on either the Surf Select National Blue & White teams.

Champions League:
U14 Only

Tournament-based event welcoming all U14 teams across Surf Nation, players will be selected based on their performance within the event.

Regional Recommendations:

Our High School age groups will be assessed through our Surf Select Regional ID programs. Players will first attend their Regional tryout, and selected players will represent their Region at a Tournament/Showcase event to earn a spot within our National Team program. For returning players, the Surf Select National team staff and selection panel will also consider their performances for the Surf Select National teams the previous year.
