Houston Pre-Labor Day Cup Welcomes Over 250 Teams in 7th Annual Event
September 1, 2026
HOUSTON, TX – The club’s 7th annual Houston Pre-Labor Day Cup, presented by title sponsor Capri Sun wrapped up this weekend with a record-breaking turnout. Over 250+ teams participated in the event, the second of two pre-season tournaments hosted by the club in August, drawing thousands of players, coaches, and fans to five premier venues on Houston’s south side: Centennial Park, Dad’s Club, El Franco Lee Park, Sylvan Rodriguez Park and League City Sportsplex.
Teams ranged in age from U8 to U18, across both boys and girls divisions, and competed in a variety of formats: 7v7, 9v9, and 11v11. Each team was guaranteed a minimum of three matches, with many progressing to thrilling Sunday finals.
"I would like to thank and recognize our marquee sponsor Capri Sun for all their support and on-site presence,” said Jason DeVore, Tournament Director. “Having cold, fun refreshments for our members and visiting teams added a unique, energetic experience to this year’s tournament.”
With more than 7,500 attendees throughout the weekend, the Houston Pre-Labor Day Cup once again proved why it’s a key fixture in the region’s youth soccer calendar. Competitive matches, high-level play, and a strong community atmosphere underscored the importance of quality pre-season events for player and team development. "It’s a collective effort, from the teams and coaches to the sponsors, vendors, managers, volunteers, and referees that makes this event such a fantastic way for teams to kick off their fall season,” DeVore added.
The club would like to also thank Team Travel Source for facilitating the hotel accommodations for the visiting teams, GO4 athletic training support along with Memorial Hermann-GoHealth Urgent Care and Fine Designs for their on-site apparel production.
As the league season approaches, the success of the Pre-Labor Day Cup sets the tone for what promises to be an exciting fall for Houston's #1 youth soccer club.
A big thank you to CapriSun for supporting the event and providing refreshments on site.
