herndon all-star cup

The All-Star Cup is the ultimate end-of-season showcase for top recreational players across the region. Each club selects its best to form “All-Star” teams, competing head-to-head in an action-packed weekend of exciting matches.

It’s more than a tournament — it’s a celebration of competition, community, and the love of the game. Players shine, coaches lead with pride, and families cheer every moment.



In 2025, Herndon proudly celebrates 24 years of hosting the All-Star Cup — bringing together hundreds of teams and unforgettable soccer experiences!
