When I left uni no one wanted us to play in their teams, so a group of chicks organised their own team - Funky Nuns/Women in Black - and spent a year and a half losing every game we played!!</P> <P>Attitudes towards women players has to change at the roots - women will practise, practise, practise if they think it's worth their while.<BR><BR></P><BR><BR><BR> <DIV> </DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: Nicole Roberts <MAAAFY_BIRD@YAHOO.CO.UK> <DIV></DIV>>To: Britdisc@csv.warwick.ac.uk <DIV></DIV>>Subject: re: women <DIV></DIV>>Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 18:34:01 +0000 (GMT) <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Personally, if that's the way that leeds play then I <DIV></DIV>>feel very sorry for Anna. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>If you look at the top four teams in student nationals <DIV></DIV>>last year, 3 of them had a woman playing for them. I <DIV></DIV>>appreciate that one out of fifteen isn't much, but <DIV></DIV>>it's a start. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>A student co-ed tournament is, in my opinion, an <DIV></DIV>>excellent idea, however it's ran (a 5-2 ratio may be <DIV></DIV>>necessary). <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>By effectively forcing women on the pitch by playing <DIV></DIV>>co-ed can only improve the playing standard of student <DIV></DIV>>women's ultimate, as if any team actually wants to do <DIV></DIV>>reasonably well then they'll have to use all seven <DIV></DIV>>players, not just players without breasts... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Anyroad, this is probably a bit of a pointless mail <DIV></DIV>>unless we have some university that's willing to host <DIV></DIV>>co-ed nationals, and a weekend that doesn't clash with <DIV></DIV>>either easter holidays, paganello, open nationals or <DIV></DIV>>those horrid things we call finals... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Okay, had my tuppence, back to work <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>nicole <DIV></DIV>>mohawks <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>____________________________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Nokia Game is on again. <DIV></DIV>>Go to http://uk.yahoo.com/nokiagame/ and join the new <DIV></DIV>>all media adventure before November 3rd. <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html>
