The program next week is given to an extended "fireside chat" with Heather Reid, CEO Capital Football.
There are a lot of footballs in the air at Capital Football and probably not enough people to cover an enormous workload.
CEO Capital Football makes some very sound observations about the recent NYC for the U15 and U17 Girls championships. I ask myself: Why didn't the FFA include the "technical assessment component" in the Under 15 Girls and Under 17 Girls National Youth Championships held recently at Coffs Harbour? What feedback did teams, players and mportantly, Coaches get at the NYC? What are we really saying about Women's Football - is it second place to Mens Football? Looks like it to me. The comment was made to me by a football official that the techncial assessment group were at the World Cup. Well goodie for them. Is that all we have got? It was an expensive outing for parents of players, for significantly less games than were played in the U13 Girls and U13 Boys NJC earlier this year. Parents (and players) across several States are very unhappy and so they should be. This is one story that is not going away!
There is a lot to talk about and this is a very informative and candid interview. Not to be missed. Listen in at 7:00PM on Tuesday on 2xxfm (98.3mhz) or take the Podcast of this blogspot.
You will be pleased to know that those "damned vuvuzelas" will not be welcome at our Canberra United games in the upcoming W League. Outstanding.
