Western WA Surf: Celebrating OVER 10 Years of Soccer Excellence
At Western WA Surf, we have a simple but powerful goal: to inspire every player to Love The Game. For over the past 10 years, we’ve lived this mission by meeting families where they are, fostering a deep sense of community, and developing players both on and off the field. Whether on the pitch or in life, we aim to help players grow, succeed, and build lifelong memories.
The Past: A Decade of Development
Over the past 10 years, Western WA Surf has grown into a hub of soccer excellence in the Pacific Northwest. From grassroots beginnings to elite competition, our focus has been on creating an environment where every player can thrive. With countless tournaments won, friendships formed, and lessons learned, we are proud of the legacy we’ve built in Western Washington.
The Present: Our Surf Nation Connection
This past year marked a transformative moment in our journey: we became part of Surf Nation, a network connecting thousands of players across the U.S. to opportunities at the highest levels of the game.
Already, we’ve seen the impact of this milestone. In just one year, Theona Andrews from our G12 Elite A team was selected for the Surf Select National Team. Competing in the prestigious Target USA Cup, Theona and her Surf Select teammates delivered a dominant performance, winning six games, conceding just one goal, and earning the championship trophy.
Coach Alex Depolo reflected on the club’s growth:
“I’m incredibly thankful for the great group of staff that have come over this past year. Eddie, Erin, Gareth, Sami, and Conchie have taken this club to the next level, and I’m so appreciative of their support and investment in myself as a coach and a person.”
Players and families alike have embraced the Surf experience:
- “Coming from another sport, we have been delighted by the team support and spirit of these young players… We couldn’t be more thankful for our Surf family.” – Gina, WW Surf parent.
- “One lesson I’ve learned is that perseverance pays off. I’m thankful for all the amazing coaches and teammates who have welcomed me.” – Catherine, G11 Elite A player.
Western WA Surf Leadership sees this as a defining moment for the club:
“Joining Surf Nation has opened doors for our players and families to a national platform, offering opportunities like Surf Select that were never available before. It’s a game-changer for our community, and we’re just getting started.”
The Future: Expanding Our Impact
Looking ahead, the future of Western WA Surf is brighter than ever. With the recent launch of our Premier Location in Issaquah/Sammamish, we’re bringing our proven programs to even more families across Western Washington. This expansion is a reflection of our commitment to growing the game and creating opportunities for every player to love soccer.
As we celebrate 10 years of soccer excellence, we remain focused on our ultimate goal: empowering players, families, and our community to dream bigger, reach higher, and always Love The Game.
