What happened: Houston Dynamo said its first Play it Forward session presented by TexasBayCU is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 25, at South Houston High School. The event runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. for kids ages 6 to 11, with skill work, group interaction and player meet-and-greets.

Why it matters: The session gives the club another direct community touchpoint during the MLS regular season and puts players in front of younger fans before the month ends. It follows a recent family-first message from Houston Dynamo as the club keeps its outreach programming visible.

What to watch: The next details to watch are registration logistics and which players are slated to attend. The Sept. 25 event will also show whether Play it Forward becomes a recurring community program later this fall.
