SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 4, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Temecula Valley Soccer Association is one of the first soccer associations in the U.S. to require Full90 Performance Headguards. For the spring 2003 season, approximately half of the kids in the over 1,100 participant program will receive Full90 as part of their uniforms, at no additional cost to the parent.
"Parents like knowing that their kids are protected and I like having all the kids come back year after year to play in our league," stated Peter Schilperoort, President Temecula Valley Soccer Association. "Temecula Valley Soccer Association has always been a pioneer in the way we promote the game, so it stands to reason that we'd be first to support the idea of head protection."
"We are surprised and delighted that the Temecula Valley Soccer Association feels so strongly about our product," stated Full90 Sports CEO Jeff Skeen, maker of Full90 Performance Headguards. "Our goal is to give every soccer player the opportunity to protect their most valuable asset -- their brain while at the same time not changing the way the game is played."
"This is a product whose time has come," stated Laura Mendenhall, parent of a player in TVSA who will be using Full90 Performance Headguards for the first time, "and my son Nick put it on his head right away, as if it was a natural part of the uniform."
According to Peter Schilperoort, he has already received inquires from the other players in the association and eventually, with the imminent success of this program, all the teams at TVSA will receive Full90 Performance Headguards.
