ACADEMY HS – 2026 - Always Rising.Always Surf.

ACADEMY | High School Boys Program

The WW Surf Academy is offered across all three regions of our club — North, Central, and South.

At the HS Boys age groups, the top national platforms come into play. Our Academy model connects regional training environments with the following leagues:

MLS
EA
NPL

This pathway is designed for boys born between August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2011, aligned with the transition to school-year format for the 2026–27 season.

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 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.

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.
