The Houston Dash will launch a Girls’ Development Academy which will begin play in the Fall 2017 season, the club and U.S. Soccer announced today.
The introduction of the Dash Academy makes the Dash and Dynamo organization one of only three in the United States to operate an MLS club, an NWSL club, a boys’ developmental academy and a girls’ developmental academy. The other two such organizations are the Portland Timbers and Thorns and Orlando City FC and the Orlando Pride.
“It’s a very exciting day for the Houston Dash. I’ve wanted a girls club since I came onboard, so I think it’s great that the club has made this investment in Houston.
