The club hosted our 6th annual Boys Houston Premier Cup in The Woodlands, TX on January 16-18, 2026 which was brought to you by AutoNation. Over 120 U9-U15 boys teams traveled in from across Houston playing in formats of 7v7, 9v9, 11v11 at three first class facilities.
1,500+ players had the opportunity to play in front of large audiences at Bear Branch, Gosling and Falconwing sports complexes. Teams stayed in The Woodlands Township, enjoying full access to the incredible amenities provided by the local community.
"I would like to recognize and thank all the teams, coaching staff, referees, volunteers and valued partners that helped to make this weekend a tremendous success," said Stuart Taylor, Director of Communications & Events. "Staging this first-class event this weekend for our teams to participate in meaningful games before the spring league season starts is very important."
