DALLAS, TEXAS (January 28, 2008) As more and more former professional players from the North American Soccer League, Major League Soccer, and Major Indoor Soccer League take up coaching positions in US Youth Club Soccer, we see a marked improvement in both the individual player and team performances. It is no coincidence that as the very best US teams are selected to compete in the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup, a high number of those teams are coached by former professional players, who are passing on their soccer knowledge to their young players.
Led by former US National team players Tab Ramos and Desmond Armstrong, Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXIX will certainly be an “old boys’ reunion” with no less than twenty four former professional players with past experience in the US Leagues bringing their youth teams to compete in this years tournament. We welcome so many former players and wish them enjoyment and success in all their efforts on behalf of the sport of soccer.
