Houston Surf Soccer Club

What the club offers

The Youth Academy targets younger players who need repetition, confidence on the ball, and a development-first environment. Sessions stress ball mastery, passing and receiving, small-sided games, and decision making so athletes get many touches and learn to combine with teammates.

Competitive programming is built for athletes who want multiple training sessions each week plus year-round league and tournament schedules. Houston Surf competitive teams operate inside the Eastern District Players League (EDPL), run by South Texas Youth Soccer, with Division I, Super 2, and Division II tracks so rosters can match ability and ambition. Higher divisions feed toward State Classic League consideration and cups such as the Presidents Cup; Division II supports newer competitive groups with South Texas Cup–style events still within reach.

Elite boys teams align with the Frontier Development League, a club-based tier inside the Frontier Conference of the US Youth Soccer National League that links Oklahoma, North Texas, and South Texas clubs toward National Championship Series and National League Conference Playoff opportunities. Elite girls programming layers Girls Academy Aspire (a GA-sanctioned tier-two girls league operated with Development Player League partnership), the national Development Player League for U13–U19 style elite girls competition, and the girls Frontier Development League for additional high-level league access.

Training footprint and practical details

Programming is organized around northwest Houston training and match sites that rotate by team and season; families should expect Klein-, Spring-, and Tomball-area assignments rather than a single permanent complex. The club also shares grade-year alignment guidance as U.S. Soccer shifts youth soccer toward school-grade grouping beginning in Fall 2026, emphasizing roster stability and peer-aged training.

Tryouts and registration

Player registration flows through GotSport for the active program cycle. Families exploring a roster spot should email Coach Carl at carl@houstonsurfsc.com; broader club questions go to Coach Lee at lee@houstonsurfsc.com. If email responses have not arrived within about two business days, call (281) 297-8777. Tryout timing is communicated through club channels each year; interested players should connect through those contacts or complete the current GotSport registration prompt so staff can place athletes in the right evaluation window.

Mission and coaching approach

Houston Surf frames its work around long-term development—technical skill, tactical understanding, speed of play, and habits on and off the field—while pursuing excellence in competition and significance beyond it. As part of Surf Nation, the club sits inside a national alliance where peer clubs collectively earn national championships, youth national-team call-ups, and college commitments at scale.
