The Dallas Texans were very sad to learn that youth soccer pioneer Roy Rees passed away on November 25, 2011. Roy was the first club director of the Houston Texans and was partly responsible for the huge growth of soccer in Houston in the mid 1980s. He also authored a best-selling book on soccer coaching. As head coach of the US U-17 National Team from 1985 through 1993, Roy Rees led the team to four consecutive appearances in the World Cup.

Roy was an invaluable mentor to the Dallas Texans and was instrumental to our founding in 1993 and success as a club. His contribution to youth soccer in Texas is unmatched and the Dallas Texans would like to send our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

The Club's goal is to make certain that each and every soccer player reaches his/her full potential. We believe that to be the best, players need to watch the best, play with and against the best. For the most part, our players regularly do this by playing in their leagues and tournaments in the United States.

Now we would like to challenge our players to play against the best players in their age group from other parts of the world. With this in mind, we have created a wonderful program by entering into a partnership with Premier International Tours, the top international soccer tour organizer in North America. This organization will arrange all of the Dallas Texans' European and South-American trips. This will not only help our players to further develop, but also to make life-long memories by experiencing other cultures with players from other countries.

Our 2012 European tour is open to all boys born in 1996, 1999 and 2000 and for girls born in 1998 (this opportunity is open to any player born in those age groups).

Yours in Soccer,

Hassan Nazari, Founder and Director of Club

 Our club DOC, Hassan Nazari visited our newly signed affiliate in Ghana Africa recently. The five day visit was an overall success. The purpose of the visit was to meet Akordy Abingya, the president of Map Sports Management and Michael Teye Sogbodjor, the Director of Coaching for our football academy, the coaching staff and players. The trip included observing the training and matches, interacting with the coaches and meeting with the teams to discuss the Dallas Texans philosophy and the reasons we decided to branch into Africa.

Hassan visited not only with the players but also with their school counselor to discuss the possibility of an exchange program. He also did an interview with the top sports television station. There was great interest in our club and its mission in Africa to benefit their gifted soccer players and create more opportunities for the players to pursue both education through college scholarships and possibly playing professionally.
