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!
Tournament Scoring & Seeding
Tournament Game Schedules
Fields & Game SchedulesPlease find below the game schedules for each age group. The schedules have been reviewed by the Tournament Coordinator and HYS staff to ensure that all teams, on Day 1:
- Play 4 mini games
- Club teams don't play each other, where possible
- Teams don't play games back to back, where possible
- Coaches with multiple teams have their games deconflicted
There are instances where club teams play each other. This is due to the number of teams submitted by the clubs, and the number of groups to distribute the teams across to avoid playing each other. As well, there are 3 to 4 games in the entire group of games where a team may play back to back, and this is due to deconflicting coaches with multiple teams to ensure they can coach both sets of teams.
Please refer back to the site in case there are updates. If there are updates, we will post the updates here, and we will send out an email to the affected age group(s) to grab an updated copy.
