NSCAA Holds Annual Convention   The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) held their annual convention in Baltimore , Maryland January 12-16, 2005.  "One World, One Game, One Goal" was the theme for the event that featured an international flavor.  Far Post was well represented at the convention: Kaitlin Francis, U17-18 Girls Team, accepted her acknowledgement as an All-American. Brad Parker, U15 Boys Head Coach, was named Regional Coach of the Year and was nominated for National Coach of the Year. Brad is also the Girls Varsity Coach at CVU High School . Congratulations to Kaitlin and Brad on these outstanding achievements! Another point of interest was that Josh Parker (U15 Boys) accompanied his father to the event and had the good fortune of meeting Mr. Woo (photo right). If you have not had the opportunity to see Mr. Woo’s unbelievable juggling skill, here is a clip:  http://video.premiumtv.co.uk/rangersfc/video/mrwoo_hi.wmv   For more information on the NSCAA convention, visit their website: http://www.nscaa.com/convention/.
