Dynamo | Dash Youth is proud to kick off the Fall 2021 Recreational Program with games across the Greater Houston area this past weekend. The Recreational Program is presented by AutoNation.

The Recreational Program is an excellent introduction to soccer for kids with birth years between 2003-2018. We are proud to offer a full development pathway from recreational leagues through our nationally competitive elite teams, all the way to collegiate and professional opportunities.  This will allow every child to experience the game of soccer and develop their skills at a level that suits them.

This season, we have over 3,600 recreational players on 521 teams taking part in weekly training sessions and games to develop their soccer skills and love of the game in a fun, safe environment. We expect to welcome over 15,000 spectators weekly to watch approximately 250 games at our first-class facilities in The Woodlands, Woodforest, Tomball, Friendswood, Clear Lake, League City, and our new locations in Beaumont and Fulshear.  The Recreational Program will be hosted in the fall on Saturdays from September 18 - November 6, 2021.  

We’re excited to get this season underway and look forward to the growth of these players over the next several months!

“We’d like to sincerely thank the parents and spectators for creating a wonderful atmosphere at our various facilities on opening day," said Phil Ebner, Recreational Director. "Additionally, we extend our gratitude to the hundreds of volunteer coaches, who are the heartbeat of our program and the reason so many players fall in love with the game.  We look forward to what promises to be a tremendous fall season.”

The South Recreational Program also had its own Dynamo night on Saturday vs. FC Dallas. Families sat together to experience a fantastic 3-2 home win at the local Texas derby.
