The Vodafone national under 16 girl’s football team has geared up its preparation for the 2020 OFC U16 Girls Championship to be held in Tahiti.
Head coach Tagi Vonolagi said he was impressed with the girl’s performance during training sessions.
“So far everything is going well with the preparation and the girls are picking up well, “said Vonolagi.
The former national team captain said they had started two sessions of training from last week.
“All of these players are school students but I am happy they are ready for two sessions of training which we started from last week and that gives them more time to get together.
Vonolagi said the girls were fast learners and adopting well to the style of football he wants them to play.
“So far I have been work on in developing their skills because as we know they are not like boys because boys have good kicking ability likewise girls don’t but they are fast learners and I am happy the way they are progressing,” said Vonolagi
The former Nasinu goalkeeper said former coach Marika Rodu has done the foundation and he is just taking them to another level.
“These are Rodu’s babies and he has done a lot so I am just taking them to another level and he has left, “said Vonolagi
He said he had four more weeks to prepare and confident the team would be fully prepared before the competition.
“I am fully confident the girls will prove themselves during the competition next month,”
