“The task of the women football department is really to begin to get younger females involved, younger players involved. There are plans in place to involve the primary school students starting from age ten to thirteen. These are the areas in which we can basically develop. The Evo Soccer platform is on its fourth week now. And what we are doing, the girls receive a ball and they do their drills. So every week before Sunday, they have to submit a video of what they are doing so basically allows them to do individual development. So far it is going good. Our aim is to continue to build on that. We share; we follow up on the girls as to what it is that they are doing, sending them encouraging videos on our platform so that they are aware that we are keeping tab of what they are doing and giving them motivation to keep focused so that they improve individually.”
