The Women"s United Soccer Association is the professional organization for women"s pro soccer. It is committed to promoting the game and increasing its visibility nationally. Its board is comprised of highly visible active players who are helping propel women"s soccer to a position of growing prominence today. The WUSA season is April - August and is televised each week on the PAX network. The WUSA Girl"s Guide to Soccer Life is written for girls ages 8-16 (and their parents). The Stars of the WUSA provide insights into their on and off the field experiences. They cover such topics as: Getting Started in the Game; Improving Your Game; Personal Development (hair and makeup, dress and style, the opposite sex); Balancing School and Sports; Dealing with Roadblocks and Setbacks; Maintaining the Edge, Rituals and Superstitions; Life Off the Field. The book is timed to publish just prior to the FIFA Women"s World Cup, September 23-October 11, in China. This may result in a rematch of the famous U.S. win in the 1999 World Cup-the event that created significant national attention for women"s soccer. The book will also coincide with the girls middle school soccer season that plays in October and November. DVD CONTENT: Archived video from the first two seasons of the WUSA will be edited to present informational and instructional elements about the game. Original footage to be shot to introduce the DVD itself and specific sections of the DVD.
