SACRAMENTO, CA (02/09/10) - This past weekend in New Orleans, LA at the 2010 U.S. Soccer Annual General Meeting, there was another bit of developing national news besides the Super Bowl and the impressive win by the city's Saints. Alongside the election of former Region I Director Richard Groff as the new President of the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA), the new USASA Implementation Team Leaders were introduced to the membership in attendance at the Council Meeting.

As part of their re-organization effort, one of the directives put forward by the USASA is the establishment of a new set of core values that this Implementation Team will oversee. These eight specific teams will help shape the future of the USASA - each with a specific objective which will be executed through various plans in order to meet given deadlines.

In regards to the sport of women's soccer, a major initiative is to boost the recruiting of more players and more women's leagues. By 2015, the USASA wants to increase women and ethnic participants to 50% of total USASA player membership while a 2011 recreational national championship was also discussed.

As the largest women's soccer league in the world, the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) has thrown their hat into the mix as part of this task force - headed by Richard Moeller (VP of Florida State Soccer Association) - to bring in more female players into the USASA, as well as players of all ethnic backgrounds since the goals of both organizations are to further develop the sport in this country.

"As a league, we fully support the development of players from the recreational to the professional levels," said WPSL Commissioner Jerry Zanelli, who was in attendance at the AGM. "We're committed to this effort put forward by the USASA, and will do all we can to support them as the sport of women's soccer continues to evolve in our country."
