PSPL Surf Academy tryouts for the 2016 season begin in October!
Join the growing number of elite players who are choosing PSPL's Surf Academy to further their skills and their dreams of playing collegiate soccer -- or even beyond!
The PSPL Surf Academy offers the best value of any elite academy or ODP program in the Northwest. We offer the best trainers in the state, the most training sessions and provide the most opportunities to get our players maximum exposure to college coaches by attending national college showcase tournaments.
Our aim is to maximize the value of the program while trying to keep costs to a minimum.
This unique elite program works closely with club coaches to provide an additional opportunity for their best players to get critical college exposure while allowing those top players to remain at their local club, or close to home.
Compare the costs for yourself! We believe soccer families should have a choice, especially when it comes to elite programs.
