The Pro Trainer soccer ball machine will be exhibited at the 2009 NSCAA convention in St Louis in January. We have signed on to be part of this exciting show that features coaches from all over the country who participate in the NSCAA and its coaching programs.

About the NSCAA Convention:

When it comes to soccer events in the United States, few can parallel the National Soccer Coaches Association of America’s Convention. No other event matches the fun, excitement and learning opportunities this annual gathering offers to soccer coaches at all levels of the game.

Whether it’s learning the basics of coaching goalkeepers or a high-level discussion of systems of play, every coach who attends will find something new to add to their soccer repertoire. And the coaching instruction is just the beginning – the four-day program is filled with a myriad of opportunities to mix and mingle with some of the most prominent names on the soccer landscape.

The Pro Trainer soccer ball machine is out on the road this fall and winter as part of the Soccer Youth Roadtrip Fanfest tour. We are one of the sponsors for this event which will consist of 65 stops around the country promoting youth soccer.

As you can see from the photos above the event is lots of fun for the youth soccer players at these stops. The weather is cold back east but lots of folks coming out for the tournaments get to see the SRYT event.

From the SRYT site:“The first annual Soccer Youth Road Trip is officially underway. The crew left the great state of Kentucky in the amazing looking Soccer Youth mobile, with all kinds of free things to give away. Our first stop landed us in Cleveland, OH at the Brunswick Fall Classic. The crew was there very early (6am) to set up to make sure the kids playing in the early games could enjoy our Fanfest. Kids came running over to the area in all directions once they saw the giant Soccer Youth Jersey and Cuties inflatable. They had to see what all these tents and inflatable where all about. The kids were filled with joy to find out that everything was free! Kids were walking away with handfuls of Cuties California Mandarins and Major League Soccer posters.”
