NY Surf has more USSF “A” and “B” licensed and Division I and II coaches on our staff than any other metro NY-based youth soccer club.

A: We use a proven, customized curriculum developed in partnership between San Diego Surf Soccer Club and Manchester City FC.

A: As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, NY Surf strives to prove the highest quality youth soccer experience at the most affordable price.
