Colony Ridge Communities Unites Cleveland, TX Families at Soccer Season Kickoff Event
CLEVELAND, TEXAS (March 21, 2026) – Colony Ridge Communities brought Liberty County families together this past Saturday for a lively and memorable Soccer Season Kickoff Event, welcoming residents and guests to an afternoon filled with games, prizes, local vendors, and community connection in Cleveland, Texas.

More Than an Event — A Mission to Show Up for Our Community
At Colony Ridge, community engagement isn't just an initiative — it's a commitment. Events like the Soccer Season Kickoff are a direct expression of that commitment: an opportunity for our team to step out from behind desks and into the lives of the families who call Colony Ridge Communities home.
We believe that real relationships aren't built through transactions — they're built through shared experiences. When Colony Ridge team members are present at events like this, those are the moments that matter. That's what community looks like.
Colony Ridge CEOs John Harris and Trey Harris were both in attendance, engaging with families throughout the afternoon — a reflection of the company's belief that leadership should be present and accessible within the community it serves.
"Seeing families come out and enjoy an afternoon together — kids competing, neighbors connecting — that's exactly what we're here for," said event organizer "These events are how we build something that goes beyond land ownership. We're building a community."
Interactive Games & Exciting Prizes for Colony Ridge Families
The Soccer Season Kickoff event officially kicked off at 2 PM in Cleveland, TX, with families arriving early and children eager to participate. Each child received a game card to visit different soccer-themed activity stations, where they completed fun challenges and earned stamps along the way.
After completing all stations, participants entered a raffle for a chance to win prizes including:
Adidas Lionel Messi Jerseys
Adidas FIFA World Cup '26 Competition Ball
Academy Outdoors gift cards
In addition to the organized activities, kids enjoyed playing with oversized soccer balls, adding even more excitement and energy to the afternoon in Cleveland, Texas.
