  1. Those are the 4 getting used for the Finals in the summer.
  2. U9s / Mini Kickers U11s - U 13s (7 a side football) U15s - U17s (11 a side, girls cannot play with boys boys from these age groups) Senior (16 years plus)
  3. There is a clear progression. Girls can play up till U14 with boys then they need to play with girls. There are plenty of teams out there with good repuatations. Like you would with any boy, take her round a few teams and she where she ikea it and you are happy with the coaching she gets.
  4. You want them to encourage people to play but say they need vetting procedures? For what it's. worth the SWF have the funding for 1 full time member of staff. Who is going to run this vetting procedure. And there is a cut off date. Fair enough, I don't have the Callander to hand so I can't challenge on that. What players have the luxury of playing full time outside of the big 3? (Also none of Hibs are full time players). None of my players do but they accept playing football means they must have their Sundays free and we have knocked players back on availability on Sundays. The league plays on a Sunday, its very clear and has been for years. That team were punished as it had a knock on effect to the proposed Development League which they championed. The SWF cannot be held accountable for that. There is a loan system in place - you simple go to the club and ask while informing the SWF. You say the SWF run amateurishly while going on about your players having other commitment? Isn't that the very definition of amateur? The rules are clear that no games can be moved unless an exceptional circumstance (and no that is not work, a wedding, the team being on a night out on the Saturday, a holiday etc.) I have coached at every level in Women's football in Scotland and there is no bias to the SWPL. As I said before, go and see what your local SWPL club is doing on more than likely a very similar budget to you. I give up at least thirty hours a week between three training session, two gym sessions, match day, admin, data analysis, video analysis, opposition preperation and session planning. This is all with no pay because I want us to be better and I have dedicated myself to the wrk load required for a top team. That is before the other 5/6 volunteers giving the same and the 3 t every other age group at our club. So I'm sorry don't give me the hard done by us rubbish. Self analysis, what are you doing to make your club better rather than blaming the SWF who might not always get it right but are doing everything to improve the professionalism of the game in the country,
  5. 1. This is due to teams entering at the last second or pulling out after entering meaning fixtures need to be re-done. It happens every year by thei fly by night teams who are here 1/2 seasons max then vanish. The SWPL fixtures must come out first as they tie in with international breaks set by FIFA and UEFA. 2. I have sympathy with that but I'm sure it was in the calendar you are provided with that says this is a potential Scottish cup date so it is your responsiblity to plan correctly. 3. The fixture list is provided - you enter under the provision you are able to field a games. The SWF were correct to say no to your request. They are trying to improve the standards of the league and moving games for "various reasons" - I'm gong to assume holidays during season, work etc - is not a valid excuse. The league takes place on a Sunday, no excuses. 4. Again this is fly by night teams who can't fulfill fixtures or coaches just decide to fold teams. Teams should only enter if they are serious about completing the season and have the infrastructure in place. You can't blame the SWF for that. 5. See point 4. The teams are also fined £100 for non-fulfilment of the fixture, its in the rules you get given at the kick off meeting which should have been read? If if a team cannot compete on the dates given and a Sunday (when the league has ALWAYS been played) then who is actually damaging th integrity of the competition, you or the SWF? The fact the SWF continue to allow new teams to enter IMO is part of the problem. Far too many people setting up teams with no real idea of the commitments needed where players just want a kick about. If that's the case go and play 5s. The league, like it or not, is the equivalent of the highest divisions in the men's game. It is not a kickabout league, it is the league. and for what it's worth, I've worked at every level in Women's football and there is 0 bias to the SWPL team ahead of SWFL. I suggest contacting your local SWPL club and see what they are doing that can use rather than moaning about it here. Bar 2 SWPL sides the rest are running on fees from players and making the best of what they have.
