That is not the average height of UK female goal keepers. The England Keeper Bardsley is 6.0 tall. In your last sentence you make a point about enjoyment and watching. That is not a coaching point. Implementing goal and pitch sizes would necessitate a huge overhaul of facilities. A impractical massive overhaul as experience and evidence shows within the age related phases in the male game those changes will not occur. At the U14 level kids play on adult pitches with adult goals because there were/are not the resources to support different. Age related phases are just that, the coaching and educational phases apply to both males and females, they are not phases solely based upon the physical but very much the psychological. Males and females playing on the same sized pitches, using the same sized goals, using the same coaching methods makes logical sense. The female game to improve it further needs more equivalence to the male game not less. I never once said it’s a coaching point. I said what I enjoy is there tactical side of the game. I agree about the resources but that doesn’t mean if it wasn’t available it wouldn’t be changed. I disagree with the last statement, women are gifted with a different skill set even in football to men, honing in on those would improve the women’s game and at the county development levels they certainly don’t train the same way as the men, from experience of some CPD events I can tell you that for a fact. Every aspect of coaching has the four corner model in mind, none of these work alone and therefore none is more important than the other. Having worked in some academies and watched the way clubs work, I can assure you they base a lot of their football for youngers on smaller pitches and almost all their game related training is on pitches 3/4 the size of the one they play on.

Not City of course, but I've watched a Womens youth England game at St Georges Park with my football team (and I've played at a decent semi pro level myself recently) and we all commented on how much better they actually are when you watch in person. It was a bit odd, but they zip the ball around and it's one-two touch and gone. Obviously not every player/team is that good, but I'd say the decent womens time would outplay a Toolstation mens team. The men would have the physicality but that only counts if you get near them. I dont think its a fair comparison to compare the mens teams to the womens, its just unnecessary but they're better than you'd think. They're also far fitter and more athletic than most toolstation players. On 09/03/2021 at 07:43, Lew-T said: Smaller pitches and nets? Jesus man, listen to yourself. It's been discussed though hasn't it, women are on average about 6 inches shorter than men though as someone else said Men have grown since the goals were created so maybe its the men's that need to be bigger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the bowlers can`t hurl it down at ninety miles an hour and the batters can`t smack it 120yds the emphasis is far more on technical skills like spin. It`s one of the reasons I enjoy watching women`s cricket. On the cricket show a while back the lack of real pace from female fast bowlers could be rectified by shortening the wicket to 20yds from 22yds. Sounded like a good idea to me.

You are making points about coaching using links to coaches and mentioning standards - These will with respect apply to coaching. The lack of resources would affect standards of coaching and opportunity. Its hard to see how doing something that would be highly impractical would equal improvement. 10 hours ago, Bs4Red said: I disagree with the last statement, women are gifted with a different skill set even in football to men, honing in on those would improve the women’s game and at the county development levels they certainly don’t train the same way as the men, from experience of some CPD events I can tell you that for a fact. I do not understand your point. I posted something like females playing on the same sized pitches makes logical sense. It makes sense because there are not the resources to do otherwise. 10 hours ago, Bs4Red said: Every aspect of coaching has the four corner model in mind, none of these work alone and therefore none is more important than the other. Yes. And corners overlap. All corners overlap with the psychological. Age related phases are based on understanding humans have. The coaching at the foundation stage should be technical and fun because kids brains are not developed enough to understand the tactical or complex. 10 hours ago, Bs4Red said: Having worked in some academies and watched the way clubs work, I can assure you they base a lot of their football for youngers on smaller pitches and almost all their game related training is on pitches 3/4 the size of the one they play on. I have not said anything different. Coaching methodology will mean and should that training takes in many forms - Small sided games in tight spaces/ coaching in units etc are forms of the constant.

shahanshahan Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Episode 18 of Bristol City Vixencast is out now! Back from the international break, D-M, Nat and I talk – a lot – about that game at Ashton Gate, in a bad night for the Royals (sounds familiar). We go into detail of an extraordinary footballing spectacle, in what is already being described as the best WSL game of the season. Under the floodlights on a feelgood International Women’s Day, Matt Beard’s Vixens showed us exactly what they are capable of. We relive a glorious team performance; those goals by Wellings, Purfield and Salmon; and celebrate no longer being bottom of the league, and talk about our brief encounter with ex-Bristol Academy & England goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain, who was doing commentary. We also report on all the latest City Women news and look forward to Sunday’s Conti-Cup final against Chelsea.

Erithacus Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hoping for a good performance today, although the odds are not favourable. I suspect Chelsea will have some plans to isolate Salmon and make it difficult to get forwards. However, this team under Matt Beard has shaken off the early season form and aren't going to be a pushover. It's been a while since our last final appearances. As the Academy, the girls were FA Cup finalists in 2011 and 2013, beaten in both by Arsenal. Ironically, during that era the 2012 final was held at Ashton Gate but that saw Birmingham beat Chelsea on penalties. COYR! COYV!
