The Houston Dynamo Academy U-17 and U-19 squads wrapped up a successful tournament at the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Winter Showcase at Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.

The 11th edition of the Winter Showcase featured 76 clubs from the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. The event gives the U-16/17 and U-18/19 teams from each club three competitive games apiece against opposition they wouldn't normally face during divisional play in the regular season. The crossover games are selected based on level of resistance, style of play, location and other factors to ensure the most meaningful games.
