Omaha Surf Soccer Club has proudly served the Papillion community since 1974, providing boys and girls ages 3 through 19 the opportunity to learn, grow, and compete through the game of soccer.

Today, Omaha Surf supports more than 1,000 players across a range of development programs designed to meet athletes at every stage of their soccer journey—from a child’s very first introduction to the sport through advanced competitive play.

Our programs are designed to create clear development pathways for players and families, including:

  • Micro / Little Surfers (Ages 3–5) – An introduction to movement, coordination, and fun with the ball.
  • Recreational Soccer (Ages 6–11) – A welcoming environment focused on learning the game, teamwork, and enjoyment.
  • Academy Program (U7–U10) – A development-focused environment for players ready for additional challenge and structured training.
  • Select Program (U11–U19) – Our highest level of competition, designed for players pursuing advanced development and competitive opportunities.

Across all programs, our mission is simple: create a positive environment where young athletes can develop skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of the game.

A COMMUNITY-BASED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION 

Omaha Surf Soccer Club is proud to operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to youth development through sport.

A volunteer board of directors guides the club, comprising community members committed to providing the best possible opportunities for our players and families. These volunteers generously dedicate their time and expertise to ensure the club operates with transparency, integrity, and a strong focus on player development.

In addition to the board, our club is supported by age group coordinators, coaches, and program leaders who work together to create a structured, supportive soccer environment for every player.

Their shared goal is to help young athletes grow not only as soccer players, but also as teammates, leaders, and confident individuals.

COACHING STANDARDS AND PLAYER SAFETY 

The safety and development of our players is always our top priority.

All Omaha Surf coaches are background-screened and trained to provide a safe, positive learning environment for every athlete. Coaches follow established club standards designed to ensure players receive:

  • Positive and supportive coaching
  • Age-appropriate instruction and development
  • Consistent supervision and safety procedures
  • High-quality training aligned with modern player development practices

Our coaches work hard to ensure that every training session and match provides a balanced experience of learning, competition, and fun.

DEVELOPING PLAYERS AND PEOPLE 

At Omaha Surf Soccer Club, we believe youth sports should help children develop more than just athletic ability.

Through soccer, players learn valuable life skills, including:

  • Teamwork
  • Responsibility
  • Discipline
  • Confidence
  • Resilience

Whether a player is just beginning their soccer journey or pursuing advanced competition, our club is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and development-focused environment where every player has the opportunity to grow.
