Starting June 5th
Thank you to all the teams, participants, and supporters who are helping to get this new league off and running. As with any new venture there are some areas where there may be some growing pains, but we truly think this is going to be a rewarding experience and beneficial step in the development of girls high school soccer in the CenTex area.
Our Belief-
The Park Vista Summer League is not an attempt to usurp Club soccer programs. It is however, a league that can enhance individual development through organized competitive matches in a controlled and supervised environment.
We believe that all players should be provided opportunities to continue to play regularly with their High School Teammates through out the summer. The weekly interactions will have a positive impact in their soccer development and will help them forge bonds that are a hallmark of the high school soccer experience.
Participating Teams
Vista Ridge (3) teams
Cedar Park (3) teams
Glenn (2 ) teams
Liberty Hill (2) teams

Schedule
Due to the fact many participants just ended the school year and competed in Memorial Day Tournaments/Showcases; not to mention the sketchy weather forecast for this Wednesday the decision was made to start the league the first week of June.. The May 29th date will be made up at the end of July. Hopefully this will also allow teams to confirm and round out their rosters prior to the first game.
