Robert Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Should there be a Canadian Women's Soccer Association? Would a split between the men and women be beneficial for both, just one, or neither. From a funding point of view, can they each stand on their own financial feet, generating their own revenues, or does one need to draw from their resources to subsidize the other? Does the financially weaker party hold equal rights in managing their affairs? Is this an arranged, shotgun marriage? Or did we mutually fall in love?

jaydog2006 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Robert I don't think it would be a good idea.Right now as it the csa has some very solid people helping both with a split that would hurt both teams. Soccerbeast Right now the womens team is much stronger then the mens side and given canada some respect in soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soccerbeast Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The womens team like hockey,is a big fish in a small pond, so it's hard for them to look other then good. When the bigger nations get involved in women's soccer ,if they bother, Canada will sink down so deep it will make the position the men are in look good.

soccerbeast Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 When Canadian soccer stops becoming the laughing joke of the sport then i will have some positive imput. But it's hard to be positive when you can only beat Belize and no one that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachesl Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 No, one association. Same sport, shared facilities, shared coaching, ref and other technical resources, same international arrangements. Any administration problems can be sorted out. No sense having two sets of problems to work with, when now you just have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stats, no doubt. However, will these numbers be sustained if the level of success begins to flatter? If they remain high, it might be in the best interest of the Women's game to seperate from the resource draining Men's program, as there is only one Director out 8 on the CSA's Executive Committee that represents the Women's game. This represents a 12.5% voice in the management of the Women's affairs, which is a far cry from the 41.6% of the registered membership it represents.
