Empowering Surf players with the tools, mentorship, and structure to reach the next level.

Included for All WW Surf Players | No Additional Cost

Led by Danielle Jones, College Prep Manager

Program Purpose

At Western WA Surf SC, we believe the college recruitment journey shouldn’t be overwhelming or out of reach. Our College Prep Program is designed to equip players and families with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to pursue college soccer confidently—no matter their starting point.

This program is available to our WW Surf players starting at u15 (2011s) at no additional cost — because preparing for the future should be part of the journey.

Striving for Excellence On and Off the Field

College soccer is highly competitive—and the numbers prove it. With nearly 100,000 high school seniors playing club soccer across the country and fewer than 9,000 roster spots for freshmen, only a small percentage will continue at the next level.

At Western WA Surf, we prepare our players to be part of that small percentage—not just through technical development, but with discipline in the classroom and intentional career guidance.

We challenge our players to bring their best every day—because talent opens doors, but consistency, character, and preparation keep them open.
