At Dallas Surf, we believe the college recruitment journey shouldn’t be overwhelming or out of reach. Our College Advisory Program is designed to equip players and families with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to pursue college soccer confidently—no matter their starting point.

College soccer is highly competitive—and the numbers prove it. With nearly 100,000 high school seniors playing club soccer across the country and fewer than 9,000 roster spots for freshmen, only a small percentage will continue at the next level.

At Dallas Surf, we prepare our players to be part of that small percentage—not just through technical development, but with discipline in the classroom and intentional career guidance.

We challenge our players to bring their best every day—because talent opens doors, but consistency, character, and preparation keep them open.
