More good soccer news!

Maryland continues to gain respect in the world (literally) of soccer with the National Soccer Coaches Association's decision this week to bring their 2016 and 2018 conventions to Baltimore.

The convention, which is taking place this week in Philadelphia and includes the MLS and WPS drafts (hence the international flavor) is already scheduled to be in Baltimore this time next year.  Adding another two years adds credence to Maryland's status in organized soccer, because the Coaches Association is the largest of its type for any sport anywhere.  While attendees come from all over the world for a week of activities, it is also a boon to the local enthusiasts (of which we have thousands within an hour's drive) who can visit on a weekend pass.

This is a huge event and will give Team Terry another showcase to tout Maryland as THE place to stage competitions and sports-related activities.
