2025 Boys’ High School season is finally over, and we are so excited to present this year’s list of top boys’ players across the United States. We have to thank all of the club directors, high school and college coaches that helped us come up with this list. We really appreciate it and we understand that this list is not exhaustive and as the game grows it is going to get increasingly difficult to create it. We think this is a great problem to have and hopefully it leads to more opportunities for all the boys out there! If you feel we are missing something or someone, please send us any feedback you have!
The Boys Fab 50 list continues to be the longest-running junior boys’ awards program in the country; we look forward to running it for many years to come as we help grow the game!
Please join us in congratulating all of these amazing young men who are some of the best in the country at this beautiful sport.
Fab 50
This year, 13 states were represented in Fab 50. California is leading the way with 26 entries, comprising nearly half the list. Illinois is second with 5 players and Florida close 3rd with 4.
Only 4 high schools have more than 1 player on the list with Mira Costa leading with 4 players and Marist (Illinois champions for 2nd straight year), El Segundo and Carlsbad with 2 spots.
25 clubs are represented with California teams leading the pack: Balboa Bay, Coast, Bay to Bay and MB Surf all have 5 entries on the list. Top non-California teams are Adversity with 3, AZ Fear, HVA, WPVC, GSL and C2 each having 2 entries.
