The club hosted its annual 3v3 Turf Cup on April 19, 2025, providing lots of excitement to kick off the Easter weekend. It was an action-packed Saturday for all the teams that traveled in from across the city of Houston, with 135 teams, 1,000 U7 - U14 players and over 4,000 spectators at Bear Branch soccer complex, The Woodlands, TX. The event featured live music, dance competitions, juggling stations, Easter egg hunt along with an array of awards and presentations to support the 250+ games. HT-Rex was also on site to help with the Easter festivities.
"This year saw some very imaginative costumes and an array of festival activities”, said Milton Arraez, 3v3 Tournament Director. "Turf Cup is a superb event to help celebrate the Easter weekend for our members along with the visiting teams on first class facilities."
"The club in partnership with The Woodlands Township have continued to excel in providing youth soccer tournaments for the last 20+ years," said Simon Boddison, Director of Soccer Operations. "Providing positive economic impact to the local community and hosting events for our residents to attend without extensive travel is why we continue to grow our tournament series yearly. We look forward to hosting the South Texas Spring Showdown in May to close out the Spring season."
The club would like to thank Potbelly for donating food along with Fine Design T-Shirt Company who were also on-site, providing a quality product for the members and our guest teams to purchase.
