The club is very excited to announce that its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign led by the Girls Academy will be brought to you by Hunter Family Orthodontics.  The money raised will help off-set some Girls Academy program costs, plus a yearly donation will also be provided to a local charity.

The club has produced a pink shirt that will be sold to all members, family members and supporters in September / October. This shirt can be worn by any player (boy or girl) at their first training session of the week and during the warm-up before any game in October (International Breast Cancer Awareness Month).

"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!”

"On behalf of the club, I would like to personally thank Dr. Ross Hunter and his company for renewing their support for this year's Breast Cancer Awareness campaign," said Simon Boddison, DDY Director of Soccer Operations.  "It's a program that continually grows each year and has become a very important part of our club programming. We look forward to working with Hunter Family Orthodontics over the next 12 months."

Dynamo | Dash Youth is excited to announce Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers as the club’s newest partner, directly supporting the West Campus and Camp Programs for the 2021-22 season.

"Raising Cane's recognizes the importance of getting involved in the local communities in which they serve and supporting youth sports programs, making them a natural fit for Houston’s top youth soccer club," said Simon Boddison, DDY Director of Soccer Operations. "The restaurants are ideal for large soccer groups to stop by and eat after training and games, providing high quality food served quickly and conveniently. It's a perfect option for our families to enjoy and caters to their busy schedules."

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Dynamo | Dash Youth this year. Raising Cane’s is proud to be apart of this soccer community, and we look forward to promoting our ONE LOVE: fresh, never ever frozen chicken fingers, and all we can offer your members.” Keena Dickerson, Area Leader of Marketing.

Club members will be able to enjoy Raising Cane’s at events and programs throughout the season, and families in the Katy/Fulshear area will be able to support the club at select community store nights (dates to be announced).  There are forty six (46) stores in the Houston and Beaumont areas.  

With the start of a new school year around the corner and the college commitment period having just passed, we want to congratulate the 50 Dynamo | Dash Youth soccer players in the Class of 2021 who have committed to colleges to continue their soccer careers.

Dynamo | Dash Youth has helped 514 players reach their collegiate dreams since 2006, including 40+ players in every graduating class since 2018. We’re also extremely excited that 100% of the Girls Academy Class of 2021 has committed to play at the next level.

Providing our members with collegiate opportunities is a core mission of our club, with resources made available through our College Center presented by Northwest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. More than 2,000 Dynamo | Dash players are registered with College Fit Finder, a free online service we provided to help connect players to colleges and universities that best fit their situation. In addition, our staff is constantly providing seminars, team workshops, in-person education and 1-on-1 support to help players and families navigate the college soccer landscape.

Along with that support, players also have access to an extensive college recruiting network through our coaching staff and high visibility in front of college coaches across the country during a wide range of tournaments, showcases and league play opportunities.

We wish the Class of 2021 the best of luck as they head off to college this fall, and are excited to continue working with the Class of 2022 and beyond to place players in exceptional positions to advance their athletic careers. Six 2022 players have already made their college commitments, and we look forward to adding more over the course of the year!

"The club has a responsibility to enhance college recruitment opportunities through our resources and extensive networking connections," said Simon Boddison, Director of Soccer Operations.  "As part of our membership commitment, we will continue to provide a comprehensive platform that educates and informs all the players and families about the recruitment process to ensure the best opportunity for success. I along with our entire coaching staff look forward to celebrating all the college commitments this year." 

The club is very excited to announce that Bradbury Brothers will continue to support the club's Disability Program for 2021-22. The company is well connected with the club and supports youth initiatives within the local community. 

The program offers soccer programming for players with any form of cognitive or physical disability, including but not limited to autism, down syndrome, hearing & vision impaired, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke & neurological issues. The program allows participants to focus on their abilities, in an encouraging, safe and fun environment. The club will continue to provide two sites for fall programming at Bear Branch (The Woodlands, TX) and Dad's Club (Clear Lake, TX). 

"The Bradbury family and Bradbury Brothers are proud to continue serving as the sponsor of the Disability Program," said Michael Bradbury, Owner / Managing Partner.  "We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Dynamo | Dash Youth Soccer Club in making a positive contribution to our local community.  I would like to thank the club for creating a positive and safe environment for children in our community with physical or mental limitations to enjoy experiencing the joys of soccer.”  

"Bradbury Brothers have been involved as a corporate partner of the club for many years. We greatly value their partnership in supporting a very unique and important program within the club," said Simon Boddison, Director of Soccer Operations.  "They offer outstanding service to their customers and we look forward to continuing our partnership."
