Dominic and Paulie met when they were five years old, playing on their first recreational soccer team in Michigan. They grew up five minutes apart, went to the same schools from elementary through college, and soccer was always at the center of it all.  

Eventually, they dropped out of college and moved to NYC to chase their entrepreneurial dreams. But no matter what they built, it always came back to soccer—it’s where everything started, and it’s what keeps everything going.  

That’s why they created G.O.Y.C. Cup—a tournament series that brings people together through the game. For adults, it’s about feeling like a kid again, competing with friends, and playing the sport they love. For youth players, it’s an opportunity to get scouted, gain exposure, and take their game to the next level.  

Dom and Paul started as two kids playing in Michigan, and now they are curating tournaments to give others that same feeling—whether it’s the love of the game or a shot at something bigger.
