I am in Baltimore reporting from the 2008 NSCAA Convention. This post will be brief because I have been up for a very long time.
The big buzz coming out of the convention today is the official launch of Women's Professional Soccer, the new league that will begin play in the spring of next year. They've rolled out the name, logo and launched the website today - enough evidence for even the most skeptical that they are for real and that women's pro soccer will indeed return to the US in 2009.
League Commissioner, Tonya Antonucci gave an informal talk to attendees at the Social for Coaches of Female Athletes and is on the agenda for the Women's Committee Breakfast on Saturday morning.
Everyone seems to be talking about Arsenal Ladies Assistant Head Coach, Emma Hayes', presentation Diagonal Lines; Getting Between to Get Behind. Maybe it's the English accent, but her session definitely impressed the coaches in attendance. The word on the street is if you want a seat at her presentation tomorrow on the Global Growth of the Women's Game and Reflections of the Women's World Cup, you'd better get there early.
More tomorrow from the convention after I've had some sleep!
