Mike Conway, president of the Perry Hall White Marsh Soccer Association, said his goal is to train "good kids," not just good soccer players.
For most young soccer players, instruction from professionally trained athletes is reserved for exclusive, and often expensive, clinics and camps. But within the Perry Hall White Marsh Soccer Association, former pro and collegiate soccer players regularly provide coaching and practice to boys and girls as young as 4.

Mike Conway—who played for the then-Baltimore Spirit in the Major Indoor Soccer League between 1992 and 1993—is at least partially responsible for luring in the extra talent, as well as creating a more serious atmosphere among the program's recreational teams. Conway currently works as the Blast's assistant general manager, and since 2011, he has …
