SACRAMENTO, CA (01/25/10) - After the collective exhale resonating from the soccer world following the festivities at the 2010 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Convention in Philadelphia, PA, it was time to get back to business. The Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) has done just that with the announcement of the second national sponsor to jump aboard the express train to the Summer 2010 season.

Eurosport - the world's leading authentic grassroots soccer merchandise & apparel company - has joined Molten as official WPSL partners, and will be a major factor in the continued rise of this national women's soccer league. Alongside this new business relationship is the official hiring of Cheryl Stokes - chief architect of this deal with Eurosport - as Director of Business Development & Sponsorships for the WPSL.

Currently, Stokes is the Team President of the Maine Tide, who will suit up for their third WPSL season this summer. The Tide will be competing in the new Northeast Division of the WPSL East - a conference which has further evolved itself into a 3-division format for the 2010 season.

"We're real pleased to announce this partnership with Eurosport," said Stokes, who will be working to develop new partnerships at the national level. "It encompasses great benefits for our individual teams and the league as a whole. The WPSL will reach more homes than ever before. This will allow the league to tell the nation & world who we are and what we are all about, while setting the stage for further national partnerships."

"Cheryl brings her unique talent to this job and has already gained a solid measure of success," said WPSL Commissioner Jerry Zanelli. "We're really proud to bring on Eurosport as one of our league-wide sponsors. Our goal is to help our teams get as much outside assistance as possible."

As part of the partnership, Eurosport will receive web presence on all WPSL team websites, along with logo presence on all WPSL pages. For the first time in league history, the WPSL will have a major advertiser on board for the upcoming 2010 Final Four (hosted by Dallas Premier Women's S.C.) through Eurosport's vast e-mail & catalog distribution.
