Re:Women's Premier League? - 2008/05/03 16:06
It would be great to have a women's league if we can get more women involved.
From playing SUL I have noticed that females are put off playing in a women's game due to feeling that they are only beginners and not good enough. I guess they feel like it will have the competitiveness of a PUL game, but obviously not mixed, and that the game is way out of their depth. I feel this perception is a huge barrier to getting more females involved in a women's league.
In advertising a women's league - perhaps a little less emphasis should be put on the word "elite" and more on development (or come and try women's games) so as not to discourage those who are new to the sport. It would also need to encourage those players who are elite though, and I do recognise this.
I myself prefer not to play weekends, however if it was only something like once every three weeks, I'm sure it might work. Otherwise a weeknight would be ok.
Of course it would be great to have club against club type games, but i don't think Perth women's ultimate is at this stage yet - however I guess if people could make their own teams up or by hat - i think that would be a good start...
Playing during the winter would not encourage me, however I wouldn't mind starting in Spring and playing through to Christmas or something (Spring Women's Ultimate League) - then Nationals training would take over I guess in the lead up to April.
