About

Dallas Roma FC is a North Texas youth soccer organization built around its Alpha Wolf identity, with boys and girls teams from early academy ages through U19. Families in Plano, Rockwall, and the wider Dallas metro can choose among Juniors, Select, and USL tracks so players grow inside one club rather than switching programs as competition level rises.

Programs and age groups

The Juniors program serves boys and girls U6–U10 (birth years 2020–2016) with multiple teams at every age so newcomers and returning players can find the right competitive fit in local Dallas-area leagues. Select boys and girls cover U11–U19 (2016–2007) with several rosters per age band, from entry-level competitive soccer through higher Dallas league tiers. The USL pathway targets U11–U19 (2013–2007) for athletes ready for a highly competitive environment that includes matches against other MLS NEXT clubs across Texas; high school–aged players in that track may also participate on their school teams. The membership also includes teams from U7 through U19 across the full club.

USL integration and long-range vision

Dallas Roma FC has joined the United Soccer League ecosystem with U11–U19 USL youth integration and a stated focus on building toward professional men’s and women’s teams. USL-branded messaging frames the club as part of a new era of USL soccer in Dallas, with a player pathway graphic that maps boys from Juniors and Select through Texas II, NPL, Classic League, and USL youth and pro tiers, and girls from Juniors and Select through NPL, Classic League, Frontier League, and USL women’s pathways. That structure gives families a clear sense of how local league play connects to regional and USL competition over time.

Tryouts, open practices, and joining

The club runs open practices for Alpha and Beta teams across the membership and invites prospective players to train with Dallas-area coaches. Staff stay after sessions to answer questions, and coaches provide evaluations and guidance for each athlete who attends. Open tryouts emphasize passion and development—not only current skill level—so both experienced players and those newer to competitive soccer can be assessed for placement. Families interested in the USL track can submit interest through the club’s online registration form.

Competition and tournament exposure

Roster pathways connect to major North Texas and national platforms, including USYS National League, Dallas Cup, the Dallas Classic League, and boys Disney showcase competition, depending on team level and gender. Select and Juniors teams compete across the range of Dallas league divisions, with multiple teams per age group so the club can match players to appropriate competition rather than forcing one roster per birth year.

Coaching leadership and club heritage

Dominic Schell serves as executive director, Mariano Escobedo as player development director, Leo Gauna as junior director, and Michael Schell as USL director. The club’s modern youth relaunch builds on Dallas Roma FC’s long local history, including a noted 2006 amateur victory over MLS side Chivas USA behind goalkeeper Jesse Llamas. Today’s program pairs that legacy with a culture described as Alpha Wolf excellence—developing skilled competitors while stressing character, resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship on and off the field.
