Puma Onboard for an Even Better Presence at Schwan's USA CUP 2008
Puma Lounge 
Puma has committed to again feature a high tech Puma Lounge interactive on site at next summer's Schwan's USA CUP. The Lounge is an airconditioned oasis for teams to hang out in between games. In the lounge you will find cool activities like Konami Video Games, Internet computer kiosks, a photo booth as well as daily drawings for Puma products. In addition, Puma World Store will be redesigned and showcase even more Puma products from their active and lifestyle product lines.
 
Puma LoungePlayers will also receive a special-make puma bag and teams will play their games with special USA CUP Puma soccer balls. Coaches can also look forward to receiving an awesome gift from Puma.
 
Puma sales staff across the country are onboard to assist USA CUP on getting the word out to even more teams, so look for even better diversity of competition at the 2008 event. Puma's partnership propels USA CUP forward to a bright 2008 future.
Survey Provides Valuable Information
All coaches and team leaders should have received an email asking them to complete our online survey about their experience at the 2007 Schwan's USA CUP. The information we receive from the survey is invaluable in making decisions about future tournaments.
 
"In past years, we've made changes to the tournament based directly on the feeback we got from these surveys," said tournament director Teri Vogt. "We want to hear what coaches and team leaders thought of their experience. The more people we hear from, the better job we can do."
 
Currently, over 30% of the coaches and team leaders emailed have completed the survey. If you complete the survey by October 1, your name will be entered into a drawing for a Schwan's USA CUP polo shirt.
Schwan's USA CUP Representatives Traveling This Fall

Schwan's USA CUP representatives will be traveling to several different countries and states this fall meeting with local teams and clubs.

"We've found the best way for teams from other countries or other states to learn what Schwan's USA CUP is all about is meeting face to face," said director of team relations, Colleen Bourdon. "If a club or association is interested in the tournament, we'll travel just about anywhere to meet with them."
 
Colleen will be in the following areas this fall:
  • September 24-28: France, including Paris, Rouen, Brittany and Normandy
  • October 18-21: Winnipeg, Manitoba
  • November 4-6: Orlando, Florida area
  • November 14-16: Colorado, including Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Boulder

If your team or club would like to set up a meeting with Colleen please contact her at cbourdon@usacup.org.
