After the 2003 USISL season, Llamas was drafted by the Dallas Sidekicks and won Rookie Goalkeeper of the year in 2003. In 2003 Llamas decided to stay in Dallas and pursue his coaching career while obtaining several coaching licenses alongside Tatu, Kevin Smith, and Jason Kreis. In 2006, Llamas was a member of the biggest upset in US Open Cup history when Roma FC became the first amateur team to defeat MLS Side Chivas USA. Llamas saved Juan Francisco Palencia and Jesse Marsh’s PKs respectively for the win.
