Last year, the FC Dallas Academy fielded a team in the Texas North Conference of the UPSL and now the Fall of 2024 schedule has been posted with FCD fielding another team. FCD mostly used U19 players in the past but has used their U17s in this competition at least once.
UPSL runs Fall and Spring seasons and FC Dallas finished 2nd behind Foro SC – who were coached at the time by Michel Garbini, North Texas SC’s interim coach – with a 7-1-1 record last Fall and a 6-1-3 record in the Spring.

Maybe asked and answered and I just missed it but why are all of their games at Dr Pink? Is the whole league based at that field?
The whole league is not based there.
But it’s a better field than almost everyone else has.
My assumption is that FCD is concerned about injury to kids on lesser fields and also, since they are kids, the club has to be responsible for them as a collective and doesn’t want them driving all over DFW.
So I assume it was a requirement of FCD’s end for taking part in the league.
