Since the Academy was formed in 2007,  16 products have been signed to first team contracts, including most recently standout midfielders Juan Castilla (born 2004) and Danny Rios (born 2003) and Xavier Valdez (born 2003)

Goalkeeper Tyler Deric became the first Academy product to start a first team match when he posted a shutout on Oct. 16, 2010 against the San Jose Earthquakes. Alex Dixon became the first Academy product to score in a first team match when he scored a stoppage-time game-winner to defeat Real Salt Lake on Aug. 20, 2011.

Memo Rodriguez,  current standout for the first team,  is a great example of a Greater Houston native developing through the program,  playing in Dynamo Academy,  USL, and now a standout player in Major League Soccer.   

For the Houston Dynamo FC Academy,  the objective is to create a developmental platform that supports each player's journey towards the professional levels, and where each year young players are prepared to make the next step...be it into a top flight college program or directly into the professional ranks of the Houston Dynamo FC 2 or First Team.
