Let's focus on Chelsea Surpris' football journey. She started playing for the local program Solar1 before moving on to play for the Dallas Sting. She helped them win the USYSA 2011 and ECNL 2014 national championships. She then played for the Nolan Catholic High School Vikings, where she was named the team's best player in 2012 while also being a key member of the school's track and field team. In college, she played for the Texas Longhorns (60 games, 2 goals, and 2 assists) from 2015 to 2018. In early 2019, she played in the preseason for the Chicago Red Stars. In May and June 2019, she played for FC Dallas in WPSL to conclude her long career in American soccer.

An anecdotal fact: Chelsea Surpris, who was already known for her tactical discipline as a player, served as an assistant coach for the women's team at the Ragin’ Cajuns of Louisiana in late 2019, a club where Ruthny Mathurin also played.
