Interested in joining New England Surf?

 

Simply complete our player inquiry form, and the appropriate Regional Manager will contact you within 24 hours.

 

During the summer months, prospective players will be invited to attend an on-field evaluation at one of our NE Surf camps, providing an opportunity for our coaching staff to assess the player in a training environment while also giving families a chance to learn more about our club and programs.

 

Players are assessed on technical ability, coachability, effort, and how they perform within a team environment, allowing our staff to identify both potential and the right developmental fit.

Important Changes to Birth Year Cutoff 

 

U.S. Soccer and most competitive leagues will be shifting to a new age group formation beginning in the Fall 2026 season.

The 2025–2026 season will remain under the current birth year rules, giving families and players a full year to prepare for the transition.

Beginning in Fall 2026, the new August 1 – July 31 age cutoff will apply.
