Surf Cup Sports and Alamo City Soccer Club Partner To Grow The Game in San Antonio
Adding their 20th Affiliate, Surf welcomes Alamo City Soccer Club.
Surf Cup Sports is proud to announce our new partnership with Alamo City Soccer Club, a nationally recognized, community-centered, soccer club in South Texas.
For over 42 years, Surf has been one of the founding organizations in youth soccer. With over $7 Million in charitable donations, 16 national championships, and countless professional, collegiate and youth national team players, the Surf organization has welcomed over 20 affiliates and is known for the tagline “Best of the Best.”
The Goal is to Create Greater Opportunities and Experiences in San Antonio
Alamo City will rebrand their club to San Antonio Surf.
The club will play the remainder of 2019 as Alamo City SC but will be fully integrated into the Surf Brand by the start of the 2020 season.
San Antonio Surf is devoted to solidifying the best in player development and creating a strong player pathway in San Antonio and joining Surf provides them a clear opportunity to fulfill that mission.
San Antonio Surf features boys and girls recreational, competitive, and amateur teams of all ages, servicing more than 600 players in the greater San Antonio area.
Training, games, and events are held at Alamo Sportsplex/Culebra Creek Soccer Park, a 74-acre complex with 15 full-size fields, owned/managed by the club. In addition to three large tournaments hosted by the club, Alamo Sportsplex also hosts leagues, Cups, and playoff events for local and state associations.
“San Antonio Surf is a perfect partner for us, they share the same dedication to Surf’s mission of creating the best opportunities and experiences for their players,” said Brian Enge, Surf SC CEO.
“Our new partnership allows us to provide them with the tools to continue to grow their club and to expand on this mission while offering an elite programming pathway,” said Enge. “Surf Cup Sports is committed to building an authentic network of partner clubs in South Texas and the team at San Antonio Surf fit perfectly into our community.”
According to San Antonio Surf Executive Director Rick Kuchka, “One of the reasons this partnership appeals to us is because the folks at Surf Cup Sports share a similar goal and that is to provide better opportunities for our players and families.”
“We feel that collaboration between clubs improves our ability to provide those opportunities, strengthens and helps educate our coaching staff in new ways, and streamlines our administrative processes so that we can provide the best experience possible for those that put their faith in us,” said Kuchka.
“If organizations are serious about preparing youth athletes for the future then why not come together and share resources and ideas.”
