"Taylor is an imposing figure in goal and would do anything for her team to stop the opponents scoring. She is a smart player and also has the technical ability to build attacks for our team from the back. This year she has been willing to play both in goal and also on the field and has always given 100% in both areas. We couldn’t be happier for Taylor, and her commitment to play at the next level. Your Dash family are very proud of you! Congratulations!"

Adam Bell, Houston Dash Kingwood 01 Orange Head Coach

"Playing with Dynamo has played a huge role in my development as a player, and I owe a great deal of my success to my coaches Jamie Bell, Sandy Gbandi and Luis Flores. They brought the best out of me and made the best I can be." 

RJ Wilson, Dynamo Kingwood 01 PA / West Texas A&M

"It has been a pleasure to work with RJ, Robert and Taylor in the Kingwood program and it is great to see them continue their soccer careers. Robert has been a captain of the Houston Dynamo Kingwood 01 PA team for the last two seasons and has always shown fantastic commitment to the team, program and the sport in both training and games. His work rate is exemplary and he will be a success in any position he will play at the next level.

RJ is a fantastic talent and really has the ability to be playing at the highest level. His easy going personality carries onto the field, as he always looks composed and controlled on the ball in games. I am sure that he will take the collegiate environment in his stride and flourish in both academics and soccer. I certainly look forward to watching the highlight reels of both RJ and Robert on their collegiate teams and I am sure that there will be plenty of quality goals!

We are very lucky to have had Taylor join our program a year ago, she has a vibrant personality and is a pleasure to have around at the fields. Taylor is smart and is the type of person that will be successful in anything that she puts her mind to. Good luck Taylor!

I am delighted for RJ, Robert, Taylor and all of the other 2020 graduates who are following their dreams to play soccer at the next level. 2020 has been a tough year for all and you have all managed to still find a way to succeed. I wish you all the very best and we are immensely proud of you. Congratulations and good luck!"

Jamie Bell, East Director

Dear Parent,

As previously communicated, we intended on returning to soccer programming this week. Before we confirm the exact dates for training, we have a few steps that we are going to take in the interest of being most cautious and best prepared.

We anticipated further guidance from Governor Abbott on return to play guidelines last week, but it did not get released. At this point, it looks like this information will be available in the next few days. We want to review this information and incorporate it into our plans.

Over the next few days, we will:

1. Review the latest guidelines from Governor Abbott.
2. Work with health experts from Memorial Hermann on safety protocols within the Governor's guidelines and specific to our training environment.
3. Design club-specific training sessions in accordance with the Governor's guidelines and upon the advice of our health experts.
4. Communicate details of our plans and protocols to you upon completion.
5. Schedule training sessions.

We feel that it is important for us to have the latest information and for these steps to be taken before taking the field again. We look forward to being in touch with the final plan over the next few days.

Regards,

Don Gemmell
Technical Director - Houston Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club

“I can’t speak highly enough of the Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club. My journey with the organization began ten years ago when I was playing in their development academy. The lessons I learned on and off the field during that period prepared me for a successful college career. During my four years playing college soccer Coach Don Gemmell and Dave Dengerink were in frequent contact extending advice when needed. I returned to the club upon graduation taking charge of the recreational program in The Woodlands. The club continued to support my professional development as I worked my way through coaching licenses and furthermore supported my decision to return to school in pursuit of a masters degree. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to be part of this incredible organization."

Marcus Watt, Director of Coaching - Recreational

"Over the last few years the club was hugely supportive and helpful towards my coaching education and personal development. Sending me to acquire my USSF “B” License and providing opportunities to attend the United Soccer Coaches Conventions in Baltimore 2020 and Chicago 2019 was extremely educational. There were also various opportunities to attend the following seminars that were hosted by our club - 'Every Moment Matters' and 'Changing The Game Project' by John O'Sullivan and Soccer Starts at Home by Tom Byer. The tools and resources provided on a daily basis are invaluable to our growth and development as coaches.

Radojica Ristic, Director of Coaching - West

"Coaching development is a continuous process, I am thankful for the opportunities provided by the Dynamo|Dash Youth Soccer Club. The tremendous support received within the club during my journey to obtain my USSF "B" License speaks volumes about the culture of the organization. The club has consistently provided me with the tools to develop young soccer talent physically and mentally while contributing to my own personal growth. My transition from a retired professional player to coach has been extremely rewarding thanks to the club's continuous support."

Benito Kemble, Director of Coaching - Boys (South)

The club currently has fifty one (51) players that have committed from the 2020 and 2021 respective graduation classes and has had four hundred and sixty nine (469) players that have played in college since 2006.  The club's coaching staff will continue to provide professional guidance for all its current prospective student - athletes that are enrolled in the College Center Program.
