  • A huge thank you to all from Oregon Rush.
    The Showcase was a great event, great competition, and the kids loved it. Lisa, thanks for getting guest players, accommodating our travel, etc, you are the best. It was great to see you again. Tony, thanks for all you have done for us as well. I look forward to seeing you both again soon.

  • I just wanted to take a minute and say a big thanks to you and everyone who was associated with the Junior/Senior Sport Source tournament over the weekend. The tournament was run extremely well with no problems that we were aware of. We were able to get a number of our girls who have not already committed to do so over this past weekend. And, really that is what it is all about. You folks run a first class operation and allow these young ladies and coaches, the opportunity to finalize the next step in their young lives. Thanks for all the hard work and what you do for the soccer players of the Dallas area.
  • We all at AHFC appreciate what you do for our club and giving the boys an opportunity to be expose to top notch coaches around the country.
  • I want to thank you again for all your help this past weekend. The team did very well, Craig was a wonderful addition to the team, and I talked my head off with more then enough coaches to make sure all the guys will have a few choices of schools to play at. Our hotel, the Hyatt Place was excellent and we had nothing but great comments from all the parents and boys. Please keep them as a hotel choice because I will tell future teams what a good value it is.

  • I want to thank you guys very much for taking such good care of me and my family. I enjoyed working with everyone once again this year. I know this is a great opportunity for kids and coaches to come together. I hope this showcase continues for many years. Miss Mia is still talking about her new Aunt Lisa. Thanks for the opportunity, keep up the good work!

  • THANKS!! for arranging for Stina and Megan Thompson to guest play with TFC 91. The tournament was fun for both of them. Ed P. was great-- he gave both plenty of playing time. The team was very friendly-- I know that Stina made some new friends there. I saw you and Charlie on Sunday morning but you were busy, busy, so I just kept on going. Charlie commented on my blue rainsuit-- it did make the rain stop just before our 8:00 game. It sure turned into a perfect day. Anyway-- she had a great time, got some college scout looks, and it was a very enjoyable experience for everyone. Thanks again for connecting her with TFC this past weekend and with TEXANS GR 90 WEST at Texas Cup. Both experiences were great confidence builders for her. Please keep me on your mailing list-- I have many more 91's, 92's and 93's than 90's on my roster. Some would benefit from a connection with Sport Source.

    With best regards,

  • A very sincere and BIG THANK YOU for everything this weekend. As a Mom you dream about having something wonderful like a Coach offer your daughter a Scholarship after a College Showcase, or a College Coach tell you he would call you this week. I was blessed to have both! You are a true professional, and friend. Thank you for everything.

  • I just wanted to say thank you all of your help in getting our team to the Showcase! Our team attended and had a great time.

  • Thank you. You have been awesome. I am so sorry to be such a pain but with real work and managing a team with 4 tournaments in a row, I am just out of whack! I am normally pretty organized. I thank you for your help. Also, just wanted to mention that the check-in was painless and a breeze compared to most tournaments that I have been to. I have been doing the manager thing for 5+ years and this was by far the easiest tournament check in that I have ever had to do.

    I also attended the college combine today with my son and was VERY impressed at not only the number of players that were in attendance but the number of college coaches. It was a great turnout. I wish I could say that we would be back but unfortunately it is our last year. I have already recommended it to our coach for his younger team though.
  • I wanted to thank you for all your help orgainizing the tournament. You were great in supplying information and the tournament went off very well for us.
    Thank you again,

  • In business and particularly when dealing with over a thousand elite soccer players and their parents, one rarely hears good news. Somehow players, parents, coaches, and even the local community can always can find things to complain about. Well, as a coach of over thirty years I want Charlie Kadupski, you, and your staff to know how effective the recent Soccer Showcase in Dallas was.

    As you know I have attended The Sport Source's Showcase in Dallas for many years. I have always felt that it was one of the finest showcases anywhere in the country. Your staff is informative, professional, and caring not only to the college coaches but to the parents and players as well.

    I have continued to be impressed with the operation of the showcase. The organization of it down to the clean up of the playing fields is nothing less than top of the line.

    In speaking with many parents over the weekend they also felt the quality of hotels that worked with The Sport Source was impressive. I know that the Crown Plaza Hotel was a pleasure to stay at and that I have always felt the coaches hotel was tremendous.

    Possibly the most important thing is the quality of players The Sport Source has attend the showcase. Over the years I have had more success recruiting from this showcase than any other one held in the nation. The players, both men and women, have gone on to be quality college students and players. Of all the recruits (and I have had a few over the years) the best have come from the The Sport Source Showcase.

    Please compliment your staff and of course Charlie for a tremendous job. If I can do anything to further the success of not only the showcase but The Sport Source as well do not hesitate to contact me. It is a pleasure to work with an organization of this magnitude.
