What they are saying...About the IMG Cup...“The facilities and personal attention to make us feel welcome were second to none. The boys were in awe of the set up and LOVED every minute of it. I have been fortunate to not only go to THE Dallas Cup a few times, but win the u-17 age group. The IMG Cup was far more personal and inviting, and the facilities were far better than the Dallas Cup as far as fields and set up… We look forward to coming back in the years ahead with more teams.”
