NSCAA and Tourbeau Partnering to Showcase NAIA Men's Soccer
Posted on Jun 24, 2013 in Events 0 Comments
In its continued effort to grow the visibility and popularity of college soccer, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America is pleased to announce its partnership with the Tourbeau Sports Group for the promotion and presentation of the national live stream broadcast of the “Tourbeau's National Men's Soccer Game of the Week, presented by NSCAA and Admiral Soccer.”
The national weekly broadcast will be a professional production with multiple camera angles, play-by-play and color commentary, and will provide full game footage to local and national TV stations, as well as archived replay opportunities.
The Tourbeau Sports Group is dedicated to the promotion of NAIA soccer and has been the official video production company for the NAIA Men's Soccer National Tournament since 2008. Additionally, the Tourbeau Sports group has become the "go to" resource for identifying and showcasing NAIA player talent through the Tourbeau Pro Soccer Combine from which 33 players have signed professional and professional development contracts in the two years of the event.
The 12-game package, beginning on August 22, will feature nationally-ranked teams from different NAIA conferences, including each of the 2012 Final Four teams, and opens with nine-time NAIA champion Lindsey Wilson College hosting Spring Arbor University.
The final match of the schedule will end on the outskirts of the Upstate of South Carolina when No. 22 Southern Wesleyan hosts No. 8 Southern Poly in an I-85 battle on November 2.

I wish someone uploaded a legible copy of the Bob Gansler & Tony DiCiccio presentations at The Orlando event. I was there, it was awesome, and now I can't read my diagram/notes as to how the ball/players move!
