For the U13–U19 age groups, the WW Surf Academy will be offered in all three regions — North, South, and Central. At these ages, the top national platforms come into play.

Our Academy model connects regional training environments with:

  • MLS Academy (MLS)
  • Girls Academy (GA)
  • Elite Academy (EA)
  • GA Aspire
  • NPL

All Academy players will train in their regions during the week. Players selected for the top platform teams will train/compete together on the weekends with their Head Coach.

This system opens the door for all of our players to compete at the very highest level that we have to offer, regardless of geographical location. It also enables us to utilize all of our resources to strengthen our platform rosters and drive competition for places across our entire organization.

All Academy players will train in their regions during the week. Once team placement is established, the players will train/compete together on the weekends with their head coach.

Geography should never dictate potential. Our integrated system leverages every resource at our disposal to build powerhouse rosters and fuel competition across our entire club. We are opening the door to the Academy level for every single player – North, Central & South.

Players that want to realize their potential and are determined to play at the collegiate level must be constantly challenged and developed in a highly competitive environment. The WW Surf Academy provides that environment for the most committed athletes to excel.
