Summer Playoffs and Showcase

Undefeated in Norco

Our 2009 and 2010 Girls Academy teams wrapped up Dallas Surf’s inaugural season in the Girls Academy League with an outstanding performance at the GA Summer Playoffs and Showcase in Norco, California.

Both teams finished the event undefeated and earned the top spot in their respective groups. The performances reflected the progress, commitment, and growth shown by both groups throughout our first Girls Academy season.

The event also gave our players another opportunity to compete on a national stage, test themselves against strong opposition, and showcase how far they have come since the beginning of our GA journey.

Two teams. Two undefeated group finishes. One proud end to our inaugural Girls Academy season.

Growth Across the Season

Progress We Could See

The results in California were an important achievement, but they also represented something larger. Both teams demonstrated the progress they had made across the season as individuals and as groups.

Players showed greater confidence, stronger relationships, and a clearer understanding of how they wanted to compete. That growth was the result of the work invested by players, coaches, and families throughout the year.

College Exposure

Valuable Opportunities Beyond the Field

The recruiting opportunities at the showcase were equally impressive. More than 85 college programs attended our games, providing valuable exposure for our athletes as they continue through the recruiting process.

NCAA Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College programs from across the country were represented on the sidelines. For our players, this created opportunities to be seen, learn more about the college game, and better understand the different pathways available to them.

Looking Ahead

Building Toward Year Two

As we close the chapter on our first year in the Girls Academy, we could not be prouder of what our players, coaches, and families have accomplished together.

While we celebrate the progress we have made, our focus remains firmly on continued growth, development, and raising the standard as we move into Year Two.

The foundation has been established. The next challenge is to build upon it, continue improving the daily environment, and create even more opportunities for our players.

The future of Dallas Surf Girls Academy is bright, and we are excited for what comes next.
