What College Scouts & Pro Players Have To Say

“It’s a great event to be at because we always find quality players and from teams all over the country. This is a big help for most MLS teams to be able to come out here and scout young talent.”

“I have great memories of playing at Surf Cup when I was a youth soccer player.”

“Surf Cup is a great event, we always make it a point to come out. It’s a well known event where you’re going to get lots of scouts watching. Don’t narrow yourself, you never know who is going to stop by the field and watch you. We like watching good football and Surf Cup provides that.”

“I’ve been coming to this Surf Cup Event for 20+ years now, there’s a lot of really good players here. There’s always good guys to recruit, the level is great, the fields are fantastic which makes for good games, and it’s a fun environment to be around.”

“Surf Cup has always been my favorite tournament. Being a local girl, I’ve always felt so lucky to have this in my backyard.”

“Coming out to competitions like this where it actually means something to go win the tournament, that’s what we’re looking for, girls who want to drive for the best and be the best. I’ve been coming to Surf Cup for 20 years now. It’s just a good environment to compete.”

“This is my third Surf Cup recruiting. It’s just a great opportunity to see kids from different backgrounds, and gives us a platform to connect with individuals that come from out of state.

“Surf Cup Sports sets the standard for elite youth soccer tournaments at the local, national, and international levels. Longtime director Mike Connerley’s leadership and work has literally changed the lives of tens of thousands of young soccer players.”

“It’s awesome. I’ve spent many a weekends sitting at the polo fields watching that tournament. It’s brilliant. It’s a great tournament… great facility. It brings all the best teams together. San Diego always has great competitive teams in national levels and players playing in international levels.”

“I love the concept of ‘Best of the Best’ and being able to bring the best club teams and best players with the best coaches to one place. It gives us the ability to see time slot after time slot of great games. Being able to play at Surf Cup where there is something to play for, it adds an extra edge to these games that you don’t see at other showcases. We want to see players play at the highest level, and Surf Cup definitely does that.”

“I’ve been coming to Surf Cup for many years, this is one of the top recruiting event in the country. You see hundreds of coaches from all the top programs, every level, and we all know this is the place to be. Quality competition in one of the best locations in the country- with that combination college coaches keep coming back.”
