Westbury Soccer Club

What the club offers

The Grassroots Development Program serves coed U6–U8 players with Houston Dynamo Academy–aligned ideas on fun, ball mastery, decision-making, and small-sided play. Tuesday and Thursday evening sessions run 6:00–7:00 p.m. at Bayland Park (East Field). Each five-week spring session is registered separately, so families may take one block or two back-to-back. Players receive a training shirt, work with licensed professional trainers, and meet festival-style game days built around effort and enjoyment rather than traditional league tables. Parent volunteers help shepherd small-sided games, especially for younger children who need extra encouragement to stay engaged.

Grassroots PLUS keeps the same technical focus—ball mastery, dribbling, tactical games, and small-sided work—for coed players from about U9 through U16 in recent spring registration bands (birth years such as 2017 through 2010 on the 2026 spring schedule). Training stays Tuesday and Thursday, 6:00–7:00 p.m. at Bayland Park across a roughly ten-week spring course. The program does not place teams in league competition, but players may join the club’s annual 3v3 tournament in the fall season and can pursue optional tournament opportunities when offered.

Competitive programming spans foundation ages into older teens under HYSA or D2L. Teams train three sessions weekly on Fridays from 5:30–7:00 p.m. at Bayland Park, with licensed professional staff leading sessions and about eight to ten league games on Saturdays during the season. The competitive-year fee bundle covers home and away jerseys, shorts, socks, league registration, referees, and field fees; teams that enter other leagues may owe additional costs, and extra clinics, training blocks, or tournaments are optional paid add-ons.

Where teams train and compete

Grassroots, Grassroots PLUS, and competitive practices concentrate on Bayland Park’s East Field. Competitive league matches follow HYSA or D2L scheduling, generally on Saturdays against clubs across the greater Houston area.

Tryouts, registration, and family costs

Every family registers players through GotSport after creating a parent account. Grassroots and Grassroots PLUS do not require evaluations. Competitive placement requires tryouts or evaluations; when a cycle is full, families may be waitlisted until the registrar processes rosters. Recent spring cycles have priced Grassroots near $140 per five-week session, Grassroots PLUS near $220 for the ten-week block, and competitive spring registration near $700 including the uniform bundle and core league costs. Multi-child discounts apply to competitive fees (not Grassroots tracks), payment plans are available during competitive checkout, and need-based assistance runs through the competitive registration process when the club opens that window and sets an application deadline. Partial refunds may be available if written cancellation arrives before the first training day, minus league, uniform, or card-processing charges; after opening day refunds generally stop except for injury cases handled case by case.

Competitive tryout seasons shift year to year—spring cycles can close early, while fall evaluations have used mid-May weekday blocks with signup opening closer to each new season. One-day HISD break clinics have run 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. at Bayland Park (East Field) for about $60 per day when offered, with families packing lunch and standard soccer gear.

Philosophy and coaching tone

Grassroots work borrows from academy-style youth models that prize touches, creativity, and joy before scoreboard pressure. Foundation-phase competitive training highlights love of the game, energetic sessions, and rewarding effort, then layers league play as players mature.
