SAN FRANCISCO, CA (July 8, 2008) - Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) announced today the details of its player selection process leading into the kickoff of its inaugural season in April 2009.

WPS will begin securing domestic talent with the post-Olympics allocation of the U.S. Women's National Team (WNT) and U.S. WNT Player Pool in mid-September, to be immediately followed with a draft of the top international players. In October, WPS will conduct a general draft for both domestic and international players, followed by east and west coast combines in December and a post-combine draft in January.
