Womens Football Coach

For the past decade I have had the pleasure to coach sixteen belle femmes in their chosen sport of football [the round ball game] and will continue to be their football mentor till I drop, or they sack me!

Playing in the local first grade division these gals are highly motivated and play pretty slick football.

Many ask why coach females.... the answer is pretty simple.
