It's about developing players to make the senior team. There is only two teams that matter as far as football goes in Trinidad & that is first the mens senior team & second the womens.

Lets face it as far as thw womens program goes we are fourth best in Concacaf. The Princesses have made leaps and bounds strides in the past four years and will continue to do so with addittions from the 20's & 17's over the next few years. Most of the 17's & 20's that are currently involved in the program will never see the senior pitch however they are their to help and push the rest of their team-mates. We have a good strong nucleus from the likes of Mollen, Cordner, Attin-Johson, King just to name a few. This sqaud was getting clocked 6 to 8 nil 4 years ago and not winning a game in qualifying. Now they are tying games losing by one or two & even winning so their is much to be optimistic about for the next major qualifiers.

Many of you talk about no game sense, no game speed or tactics. How many of you have played the game at the elitest levels. Played mid-field in 110 degree heat in the shade. Played central defender on a sqaud that deploys the high flat four offisde trap. That glass is half full or is it half empty. How many of you still coach in the youth leagues to give back to the game. How many of you take your children and or youth teams to watch the 17's , 20's & or senior women & men practise. Wait don't answer that because the prooof is in the pudding. So please stop your whinning about what is wrong and get out their and affect change for the positive.
Support the youngster with-in the program on both the mens & womens sides to give them the morale support and encouragement they so much crave & desire & deserve.

Sermon over.

Again with this, we were always behind the US and Canada and then it would be a toss up with us, Mexico and Jamaica. So is not that we "improve" but we, just like the men's team back and forth in performance. I don't know how long you have been following T&T football, but you should look a lil further back. Then only difference now is that more girls playing and the teams are given more exposure. But nothing really changed.

More exposure is a good thing is it not? Heck teams scout team over the internet now a days. Following for about a dozen years closely involved with the program for five. Jamaica's seniors have been disbanded for more than two years and are now easily 4 years behind us. We tied Mexico recently in the Pan Am's as you all are aware. We only lost 2 nil in Gold Cup qualifying in Mexico's packed house. I was there and the atmosphere was electric. Pellerud has recently taken over the Senior team as coach and am sure he will get the most out of his key players & the rest will understand their roles to ensure suppport is there for the squad as a whole. As we know the chain is only as trong as it's weakest link.
Let's see where this team is in the next WWQ cycle as like I indicated in a previous post we have some very good up and coming 20's & even 17's. Let's hope the structure that Pellerud has implemented will remain a hallmark for years to come. I hope he re-news his contract for another 4 years.

Plans by the Trinidad and Tobago Under-17 women football team to travel to Costa Rica and Panama, for a series of practice matches, have been put on hold due to the lack of funding. The team were supposed to leave on Saturday but the trip have been cancelled.
