For our 2013 and younger players, we’re focusing on five key technical areas:
- Juggling
- First Touch & Passing (Wall Ball)
- Dribbling

For our older players, we’re adding a 6th challenge to develop strength, stamina, and the habit of consistent effort:
- Cardio Challenge –
Summer Cardio Challenge (Ages 13–16)As part of the Surf Summer Challenge, we’re introducing a cardio program for our 13–16 year-olds focused on improving recovery and building endurance.Players should aim for 3 sessions per week, each lasting 20–35 minutes. The program progresses from steady jogging and tempo runs to sprints and interval training—designed to mirror the physical demands of the game and improve in-game recovery.This challenge encourages players to build strong habits, track progress, and take ownership of their fitness. Better cardio means more energy, quicker recovery, and stronger performances on the field!
