Controversial, and will never happen for all sorts of reasons, but base the next U17 girls squad (U15-16s now) at Ole for 12 months - as an experiment!
As an aside I guess there's already the beginnings of a longer term plan at Ole in that they have a group of about 14? 11/12yr old local girls training/playing with them ..So will be about 4 years to see what progress they've made under Ole & if any are in the frame for NZ U17's in about 2023?
Of course its likely some players will drop out, new players will come in etc but will be interesting to see if any of this initial core make the U17's at that time.
