I was wondering what the rest of the Division 4 teams thought of the new "no slide tackling" rule that was sprung on us a couple of days before the season started?
TwinkleToes_10 said:Yeah, a couple of days before our first game Bob Cormack sent all the teams in div 4 A&B an email saying that because a couple of over 30s teams had joined our sections of div 4 they would not be allowing slide tackling anymore. I don't really think it's fair that a section of div 4 is subject to this because of the addition of the over 30s teams.
Of course you do!would probably laugh all the way to the field as we have several players that like to go down

Sorry I got the teams's that are affected by the "no slide tackling" rule wrong. For those who didn't see the email, here is what Bob sent out:
Teams in Div. 4 B East and West,
When we restructured Div. 4 for this season we included some teams that were previously in 30+ Classics.
We also noted that many of the players on the Div. 4 teams were born in 1976 and later. It was decided by the Board for this season there would be NO SLIDE TACKLING allowed. We recognize that many of the players want to go out and have a good game and walk away after the game. The chance of injury does decrease when you take out slide tackling.
If a player does slide tackle she will receive either a warning the first time or a yellow card from the referee.
So remember to tell your players there is no slide tackling for the teams in these two groups.

They would need to start work on the schedule now for a 2008 season.There is also grumblings of starting a Fraser Valley Women's league with all the divisions etc. and attaching them to the Fraser Valley League.
