A New Era for Dallas Surf
This September, Dallas Surf begins its first-ever season in MLS NEXT and takes an important step forward in the club’s continued growth.
Our First Season in MLS NEXT
This September marks a historic milestone for Dallas Surf as we begin our first-ever season in MLS NEXT, the highest level of youth soccer in the United States.
Earning the opportunity to compete in this league is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our players, coaches, families, and staff. It reflects years of commitment to creating a stronger player development environment and continually raising standards across the club.
This is more than the start of a new season. It is the beginning of a new chapter for Dallas Surf.
Building the Foundations in Preseason
Fitness, football, relationships, and standards.
Throughout preseason, our MLS NEXT teams have been preparing for the demands of the season ahead by building fitness, refining our style of play, and establishing the standards that will define us both on and off the field.
An important part of that preparation was our MLS NEXT preseason camp at the University of Central Oklahoma. The camp gave players and staff dedicated time together to train, compete, build relationships, and strengthen the shared understanding that will be essential throughout the season.
Away from the normal weekly schedule, the camp created space for players to focus fully on their development while experiencing the expectations and demands of a high-performance environment.
Prepare Physically
Build the fitness and resilience required to meet the demands of the season.
Refine Our Football
Develop a clearer understanding of how Dallas Surf wants to play.
Raise the Standard
Establish the habits and behaviors expected on and off the field.
Ready to Represent Dallas Surf
We are incredibly excited to embark on this new chapter, compete against some of the nation’s leading academies, and continue our commitment to developing outstanding players and even better people.
The season will bring new challenges, new experiences, and new opportunities to learn. Our goal is not simply to participate, but to represent Dallas Surf with courage, humility, and a relentless commitment to improvement.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey. We look forward to representing Dallas Surf Soccer Club and making our community proud as we begin our inaugural MLS NEXT season.
