2012 Dr Pepper Dallas Cup Homestay Selection

The most rewarding experience of every Dallas Cup is the HomeStay Program. Visiting international team players are hosted by local Dallas soccer families. The HomeStay Program is what makes the Dallas Cup possible.

The Dallas Cup is committed to promote the well being of young people through athletic competition, cultural appreciation and educational opportunities. As stated the Dallas Cup is not just about some of the finest youth soccer teams coming to the tournament each year. It is in accordance with its mission statement to bring together the “youth of the world” for an athletic competition and most importantly cultural appreciation and educational opportunities.

Over this past weekend, the Dallas Cup and this year's HomeStay hosts convene for the newly formatted international team selection. Check out the photos !

WORLD CUP STYLE DRAW FOR “HOMESTAY” TEAMS.

“Which team was the Dallas Texans First Choice”

“From which country did the team that Solar had last year come from”

“Andromeda cannot have that team they are in their bracket”

“AYSES Gold” had a team from England last year, they should have another country team this year”

Just a few comments by members of the “Homestay Committee” last year as they attempted to finalize the local teams choices of which international team they would host for Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXIII.

It has always been the aim of the “Homestay Selection Committee” to give our local teams their choice of the visiting team that they wish to host. Unfortunately it is not always possible for example all four local team in one group last year made the same international team their first choice!

With all this in mind we decided this year to change the selection format and make it interesting and fun. Each local team will draw the international team that they will host.

The rules for the draw being as follows:

1. Local teams will draw in the order of their finish in the Classic League Fall Season or US and USSF Academy leagues.

2. The local team cannot draw an international team in their bracket, if so they will draw again.

No other Rules!

We hope that our local team representatives will enjoy their involvement in the selection of “their” visiting international team and we thank them for their time and support to the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXIII, it is very much appreciated.

CRS Stars Inc. announces Club Bolivar to represent Bolivia in the Dallas Cup

Press Release:

Dallas, TX, January 17, 2012: CRS Stars Inc. today announced that Club Bolivar will represent Bolivia in the U-19 group this year.

Club Bolivar President, Marcelo Claure and CRS Stars Inc. President, Reynaldo H. Lopez confirmed today that Club Bolivar will be returning to the 2012 International Dallas Cup in April this year. “It will be important that we continue what we started last year and make a tradition of participating in the Dallas Cup. Club Bolivar is sending a message to the Bolivian Soccer world that our players can play at the same level with the best teams in the world”, said Marcelo Claure.

Club Bolivar’s USA Representative, Coach Reynaldo H. Lopez, former Dallas Cup Alumnus (1987) is optimistic of the team’s participation this year due to the high quality level of the team. Club Bolivar’s Pre-Professional team just completed the season and won the Championship in their division. The team has already started training for the Cup. “This team has a lot of talent and they know that it will be a difficult competition but they are ready for the challenge”, said Coach Rey Lopez.

Club Bolivar’s Pre-Professional Coach, Oscar Villegas, is working hard with the U-19 team to provide the highest caliber of competition for this tournament. “Club Bolivar is one of the best clubs in South America and in Bolivia, and by participating in International Tournaments such as the Dallas Cup, it will make a difference in the way the Club focuses on the lower division youth program”, said Lopez.

Club Bolivar and CRS Stars, Inc. have started a program that allows players from Dallas to travel and train in Bolivia with the Club Bolivar pre-professional teams. In turn, Bolivian players travel to Dallas to train and participate in the Dallas Cup. These programs provide international exposure for both countries.

Club Bolivar is both excited and honored to be invited back to the Dallas Cup 2012 and look forward to the games in April.
