Welcome to Walnut Creek Surf!

Are you ready to take your game to the next level? Tryouts for our Competitive Program are coming this May, and we can’t wait to see you on the field! Every player will be evaluated, and if selected, will receive a team offer to join one of the top competitive clubs in the region!

Tryout Evaluations

Our professional coaching staff will assess players based on the following key areas:

• Technical Ability – Strong passing, receiving, and dribbling skills
• Tactical Awareness – Movement off the ball, spatial awareness, and decision-making in all phases of play
• Physical Ability – Speed, strength, and agility

Competitive Tryout Expectations

• Players registered for Competitive tryouts are expected to attend all tryout sessions
• Before registering, parents should consider their child’s skill level and commitment to the season, including family schedules

• If Competitive isn’t the right fit at this time, we encourage families to explore our Fall Select or Fall Recreation Program

Tryout Fee

To improve the tryout experience and ensure commitment, a $50.00 per player non-refundable fall tryout fee is required at registration. This fee will be credited toward the 2025/26 Competitive Program Fee if a roster spot is offered and accepted. The same policy applies if attending both Competitive and Fall Select tryouts and accepting a 2025 Fall Select roster spot.

The team below the top team will then have three (3) days to notify players and so on down the sequence of teams noted above. Our goal is to have all teams formed and communications sent out within 7-10 days.  Teams will be formed in the following sequence:

Age group(s) 1st teams (blue), 2nd team (white) and 3rd team (black) - Our U9-U12 teams are scheduled for 3rd teams in the 25/26 season, but depending on tryout numbers, club may consider adding third teams to the U13-U19 age groups.

PLAYERS SELECTED FOR A TEAM WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM THE CLUB AND HAVE 24HOURS TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE THE OFFER.

Players attending our tryouts will receive a final notification from the club regardless of roster selection, or not.

Important: Roster selections are final. The club does not provide evaluation scores, comments, or feedback for those attending our tryouts.
