Kansas City host the 2012 NSCAA convention, and as part of the convention the MLS Superdraft will take place 1/12 starting at 11am. Only 2 rounds this year, but the one in St. Louis a few years ago was fun and I'm sure people that went to the KC one in 2003 will say the same (other than KC not picking until the 3rd or 4th round). http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/10/21/2012-mls-superdraft-set-jan-12-kansas-city Mods can this be stickied to use as kind of a planning thing for those wanting to attend?
Really sweet video made by NSCAA for the convention. I will definitely check it out, should be great exposure for the city. http://youtu.be/QNmwyYr_cTI
Since I currently work about a block and a half from Bartle, i'll be taking a long lunch and attending!
I will definitely be there. I have been wanting to go to one of these for a long time and missed the last one.
I'll be there. Hell, if I get to work early enough and want to go back after, I might only need to take half a day off. I highly doubt I'm going to want to go to work early or go back afterwards.
We'll know for sure when Ives trashes the pick, but Taylor Twellman keeps talking about how great of a player he really is/ going to be.
Can we re-sign Nick Garcia and trade him for another #1 pick? I hear he is doing really well in the KC adult rec leagues.
I dont know that he is playing right now but I know he has been playing in one of the JoCo adult rec leagues. It's the same league where Vermillion, Diego Gutierrez, and some other former Attack/Comets and Wizards play. I have heard from a couple of people that Nick hasnt been that sharp, take that for what it's worth. I think Vermillion and Gutierrez are playing in the current session or at least that is what I have been told.
He may be in that league, but he is playing with the Magic, he had an assist in their season opener last weekend.
What the hell is the PASL and the Kansas Magic? (Rhetorical question. I looked it up. I had no idea either of these two things existed.)
Received an email and thought I would toss this out to see if anyone was interested: The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) is holding their annual Convention in Kansas City Jan. 11-15, 2012. This year, one of our exhibitors, Blue Sombrero, is putting on a soccer tennis tournament in the exhibit hall and we thought it would be a good idea to get representatives from the MLS supporter groups to participate and play against one another. With the SuperDraft being at the event, we also thought it would be a good way to get you there and support your team at the draft. Prior to the event, we would create a competition on the NSCAA Facebook page in a poll format to get people to vote for their favorite supporting team. The winning team would receive five free Convention registrations. Each group would be able to have a team to play in the soccer tennis tournament. The teams can consist with as many people as they wish, but please note that there will only be three players on the court for a team. You may have substitutes throughout the match. So, is anyone interested in representing Sporting KC in this little tournament at the convention in January? Let me know.
