Please understand that not all details of the protective shelter and security plans can be shared due to the sensitive nature of these individual children. However, we can share with you that there will be additional security measures and processes established during the adidas Lone Star Classic National Qualifier.

We are aware that Hall F of the Dallas Convention Center is being used as a temporary shelter for migrant children.

UPDATE – MARCH 10, 2021
We are aware of the Governor's announcement regarding the latest Open Texas policies and procedures. The last 4 months we have implemented measures to ensure safety of all participants while COVID-19 continues to impact all of us.
Our events are often held at rented facilities that have their own rules and policies. For consistency across all venues, we will continue to require masks at all times. Local tournament venues will continue to have spectator limitations. For convention center events, we are operating under the requirements set forth from those venues. Masks will still be required at all times and we are awaiting further direction from each convention center venue regarding spectator limitations. Our events staff will send updates as they become available.
While we recognize that some individuals may not agree with this policy, we will continue to implement safety measures of requiring masks at all times for our events.
Visit this page frequently for any updates we have in the upcoming days. You can also see all announcements on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
