I have not been actively involved in the MWSL for the past four years. And to be honest, I am not interested in coming back. I was on the board for a few years, and it was a frustrating experience, because the 'lifers' rules the roost, and new ideas were often dismissed. Alot of times, this was said: "we've always done it like this."
Coachrich makes some good points. However, I disagree with him on one point: as someone who has been involved with 5D and the GMSL for five years, the scheduling is no better with the girls than it is with the women. It astonishes me that the VMSL and FVSL, as well as boys selects, get their schedules done with simple ease.
Part of the differences is that the MWSL provides fields to lots of teams. At the youth level, each club provides fields. And on the girls side, schedules don't include venues, and the venues and times are not often announced until the week before games. But this field provision makes things that much more difficult because you have more than two teams sharing one field, or you have mens and womens teams sharing fields, and so on.
As for changes to the MWSL board, I wish you the best of the luck. Each team gets one vote at the AGM. You need to get the teams there, and you need to get as many of them to be represented by people who care - not the players who drew the short straws.
