HTX 3v3 Turf Cup Celebrates 14th Year With Soccer and Community ⚽🎉
This past Easter Saturday marked the 14th annual 3v3 Turf Cup, as the fields were alive with energy, excitement, and community spirit at Gosling Fields in The Woodlands. Hosted in partnership with Memorial Hermann-GoHealth Urgent Care, the milestone event proved to be a fantastic success both on and off the field.
With over 125 teams competing across boys and girls divisions from U7 to U14, the tournament showcased more than 750 players. The fast paced 3v3 format brought nonstop action, creativity, teamwork and lots of fun for all the players and spectators. Families and fans enjoyed live music, participated in a dance contest, juggling competitions and celebrated the season with a festive Easter Egg Hunt, creating a vibrant atmosphere that extended far beyond the sidelines. HT-Rex was also present to enjoy all the activities along with 4,000 spectators.
Beyond the excitement on the fields, the event also made a meaningful impact off the pitch by bringing visitors, families, and teams into the area and generating valuable economic activity for The Woodlands Township. Hotels, restaurants, and businesses all benefited from the influx of participants and spectators, further highlighting the tournament’s importance to the community.
The club extends its heartfelt gratitude to the event’s on-site partners, whose support helped elevate the experience for everyone involved - Simple Truth, Fine Designs and Mango Studios.
“We are incredibly grateful to all the players, coaches, families, referees, partners, and volunteers who made this year’s Turf Cup such a tremendous success, said Milton Arraez, Tournament Director. "Celebrating our 14th year with this Easter event in The Woodlands makes this even more special, and we truly appreciate the continued support from our community and partners who help bring this event to life each year.”
“The club, in partnership with The Woodlands Township, has continued to excel in providing youth soccer tournaments for more than 20 years,” said Simon Boddison, Director of Soccer Operations. “Providing a positive economic impact to the local community and hosting events for residents without extensive travel is why we continue to grow our tournament series each year. We look forward to hosting our two remaining Spring 2026 events, which are just around the corner.”
