I played 5s a few years back against a girl who played for Swansea City.

Technically she was excellent, hardly gave the ball away, work rate great, strong on the ball, great movement, good balance etc..difficult on a 5 a side court against big 6 ft lads who can hit the ball with a fair bit of power- but she certainly held her own.

Put my foot in it a bit when I saw her Swansea City shorts and said ‘you can get them off for a start’ 😂

Also when I was in Loughborough the England women’s captain was there and she was outstanding.

In general these girls might lack the size and maybe pace of their male counterparts, but there are plenty of them have real skill.

They also seem more suited to a passing based game than we are , seem less greedy and naturally want to share the ball.
