Women's soccer heroes Mia Hamm and Tiffeny Milbrett have signed a deal with Consolidated Sports Media Group Inc. to create a series of soccer training videos for youth soccer players. According to the press release:

"The Sporting Good Manufactures Associations (SGMA) reported in their 2003 Soccer Participation Study that Soccer is popular in all 50 U.S. states and played not only by children, but also Gen X, Gen Y, and Baby Boomers.

In 2002, there were a projected 17.6 million Americans over the age of 6 who played soccer at least once. While this represents an increase of 15% over the 1987 benchmark, this apparent rise has been fueled entirely by U.S. population growth."
