Houston Pre-Labor Day Cup Welcomes Over 200 Teams in 6th Annual Event

The club’s 6th annual Pre-Labor Day Cup, presented by title sponsor Dutch Bros, wrapped up this weekend with a record-breaking turnout. Over 200 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 four premier venues on Houston’s south side: Centennial Park, Dad’s Club, El Franco Lee Park, and Sylvan Rodriguez Park.

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 Dutch Bros 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 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.

Dutch Bros made their presence felt as title sponsor, bringing energy and refreshments throughout the weekend. "Dutch Bros was stoked to roll up as the title sponsor of the HTX Pre-Labor Day Cup this year,” said Jill Bays, Strategic Brand Marketing Leader. “We spent the weekend posted up at two parks, handing out free drinks, hyping the players, and fueling families and fans. Supporting youth sports and bringing good vibes to our communities is what we’re all about.”

The club would like to also thank Team Travel Source for facilitating the hotel accommodations for the visiting teams, GO4 athletic training support, Fine Designs for their on-site apparel production and Photomules which handled the on-site team and action photography.

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.
