It is intended that the per-player fee will remain $0 for the length of our agreement. Q: What is the term of the affiliate agreement?

It’s the desire of both Surf Soccer Club and our club that this agreement lasts considerably longer than the initial term. Q: What is the purpose of Surf Soccer’s affiliate program? A: Surf Soccer Club has established a network of clubs to share resources, collaborate and partner in projects involving soccer education and instruction, tournament planning and promotion, field development and club administration.

Q: What is going to change along with the name of the club? A: Our uniforms will change – we will look similar to the San Diego Surf teams in their colors of royal blue/white/black. We also hope that our dedication to the pursuit and negotiation of this affiliate agreement demonstrates to you that our Board is 100% committed to to provide a platform for the kids to pursue their soccer ambitions while playing in town, and that creates a sense of excitement about the future of the club. We’re here to stay, and we are aggressively pursuing advancement at all levels of the club that will benefit you and your children.
