women’s involvement in the sport. Their number
one function will be to institute and implement development
programs for women.”

is not only about scheduling more matches and having
more players on the field but also about developing
administration, coaching and referees.
Chairperson, Therese Goddard is thrilled by the impact
this will have on women’s football. “This
is a new era for Cayman football and I am very honoured
to be a part of such an important aspect of our development.”
She added, however, that the committee needs everyone’s
support and looks forward to working with the community.

four dedicated women who are also football players.
They are Sabrina Leacock – Deputy Chairperson

initial preparations for the U15 girl’s league

contacted thus far are excited and ready to go. Also
on the agenda is an U19 National Women’s program,
scheduled to kickoff early next year and some involvement
in CIFA’s U12 youth league.
