If possible, players will be assigned based on quadrants, however this depends on the number of registrations per quadrant. We will do our best to honor requests made during registration and only one mutual request per player is allowed. Requests are not guaranteed. Reasons a request may not be granted could be: if the players are not the same birth year, players are in different quadrants or requested teams have a full roster already.

MONTANA SURF SOCCER PROGRAMS

The Montana Surf Club aims to provide the highest quality soccer experience to ALL CHILDREN from ages 4 to 19. Our grassroots recreational soccer program is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning the game. For older players or for those players looking to advance their soccer abilities, our Academy Developmental Program helps children ages 8-12 shift from recreational to more competitive play, with an emphasis on teaching players fundamental individual skills.

Our Competitive Program for youth ages 13-19 emphasizes team and individual skills, very high levels of fitness, meeting one’s potential, and the value of good sportsmanship. Competitive Academy players have the opportunity to compete at top levels locally, regionally and nationally through the Surf Select program and other “best of the best” Surf Nation experiences.

Financial Assistance:

Need based scholarships are available. Montana Surf believes that everyone deserves a chance to play more soccer. Through generous community donations Montana Surf is proud to offer assistance for those in need. Montana Surf Scholarship Application.
