The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the soccer news of the summer, but the Highland Park Soccer Academy is keeping soccer dreams alive in the Park Cities.
The Park Cities’ flagship youth soccer club hosts several hundred boys and girls in teams ranging from U6 to U14, i.e. six-year-olds to 14-year-olds, playing in the Elite League in Plano and in the Texas Club Soccer League, according to assistant coach Luke Atkins.
The club recently kicked off its fall season for some teams Aug. 22 and for others on Sept. 12.
