The club hosted their 5th annual 5v5 Thanksgiving Classic brought to you by DICK'S Sporting Goods at Cris Quinn Memorial Soccer Complex, Beaumont, TX on January 7, 2023. The event included over 750 boys and girls, from the ages of U7 - U19 with 3,000 spectators in attendance. It was an enjoyable action-packed Saturday for all the teams that traveled in from the surrounding areas.  One hundred and seventy five games were hosted for the hundred teams that participated. This is the only small sided tournament offered in the golden triangle area that hosts teams between Louisiana, Houston and Lufkin. The event was rescheduled from November due to poor weather conditions.

"We created this event as there was a need for a quality small sided tournament for the local area. This year saw new teams coming further distances to be part of a really fun, exciting event." said Thomas Shenton, 5v5 Tournament Director. "It was a tremendous tournament to start the new year off and we look forward to hosting and expanding this again in November."

"DICK'S Sporting Goods partnership is a perfect fit for our entire membership who participate in multiple sports and outdoor community activities." said Simon Boddison, DDY Director of Soccer Operations. "The ability to order online or purchase in-store at a discount will benefit our families all around the city including Beaumont. DICK'S Sporting Goods has a wide collection of sports equipment with first class customer service, and we look forward to continuing this valued partnership."

“We are happy to support Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club through this partnership,” said Aaron Pisk, the Houston Community Marketing Manager at DICK’S. “We are passionate about assisting young athletes and their families as they gear up for their upcoming seasons and outdoor activities.”

The club is extremely proud to announce that Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery has renewed its partnership with the College Center for 2023.  The College Center provides free access to 1,500 players with an online platform sponsored by College Fit Finder.  The program then educates the prospective student-athlete through all the aspects of the recruiting process, thus providing a wide array of college scholarship/roster opportunities across the country. 

Due to Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery support from 2006, the club has placed 600 players into college, including 326 players since 2017 and 32 players have already committed from the 2023 graduating classe. This company is the longest-standing corporate partner in the club's history. 

“We admire these hard-working, gifted athletes and their passion for furthering their education and appreciate the club's mission to provide the necessary guidance to match athletes with suitable colleges and universities,” Dr. Charles Repa, DDS of Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in The Woodlands stated. 

The club will continue to work with all the current players to help guide them through the complicated process of finding the right school based on what fits their personal goals and requirements.  

"Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery continues to recognize the importance of education and athletic opportunity for our players," Director of Soccer Operations / College Center Director Simon Boddison said.  "The generous yearly support has been nothing short of outstanding.  The club looks forward to partnering with Northwest Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery over the next twelve months once again."

Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club wrapped up its 11th annual Breast Cancer Awareness campaign last week led by the Houston Dash Academy, brought to you by Hunter Family Orthodontics. The campaign resulted in $10,000 donated to In The Pink of Health / Memorial Hermann Foundation as well as contributing financial support to the Houston Dash Academy.

Over $90K has been donated to local charities since the inception of the program in 2012, with more than 11,500 pink shirts sold and worn in the local community. The club completely sold out their inventory in shirts (1,500+) across their local communities for players, family members and supporters.  The shirts were prominent in training sessions throughout the week as well as on game days through the month of October which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“The commitment of these young athletes towards helping those struggling with ovarian and breast cancer is truly amazing,” said In the Pink of Health co-chair Debra Cooper. “Statistics show that many of these young women will be faced with a loved one battling these diseases in their lifetime and it is so encouraging to witness their compassion and support at such a young age. We are all in this together and we are so grateful for this continued partnership with the Houston Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club.”

"It is such an honor and a privilege to be a part of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign with the Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club,” said Dr. Ross Hunter of Hunter Family Orthodontics. “The players do a fantastic job of raising awareness throughout the month of October in our community. My mother is fortunately a breast cancer survivor, so it brings me great joy to see all the pink shirts being worn by the athletes, knowing that some of the proceeds go towards finding a cure!”

"I would like to thank all the players, parents and families who supported the program by purchasing a shirt or donating to the program," said Marcus Watt, Girls Academy Staff Coach / Breast Cancer Awareness Director. "Also, a huge recognition must go to the club's internal administration team and the volunteers that helped within the delivery process that enabled this program to be a complete success." 

"On behalf of the club, I would like to personally thank Dr. Ross Hunter for his support for this year's Breast Cancer Awareness campaign," said Simon Boddison, Director of Soccer Operations / Partnerships. "It's a program that continually grows each year and has become a very important part of our club, reinforcing our core value of service."
