📍 Houston, TX
Over 3,500 Players Completed the Fall Season
This past Saturday marked an exciting close to the Fall 2025 Recreational Program, proudly partnered with TDECU, as more than 3,500 players took to the fields for the final weekend of play.
Spread across 10 campuses throughout the Greater Houston area, the program brought together families, players, and volunteers for a season filled with energy, teamwork, and passion for the game. With 425 teams, over 1,800 matches scheduled, and 350 volunteer coaches, the fields were alive every weekend with excitement and community spirit.
Each week, more than 12,000 spectators cheered from the sidelines across our recreational sites in Clear Lake, Friendswood, Fulshear, Humble, Kingwood, League City, Sienna, Tomball, The Woodlands, and Woodforest.
This fall season will be remembered not only for its competitive spirit, but also for the continued development of players at all skill levels as they strengthened both their abilities and love for the sport.
