An experienced
international player with 66 caps for England and 35 goals, Hope Powell
was appointed as the first ever full-time National Coach of the womens
team in 1998. She is the youngest ever England coach and the first female
appointed.
Hope says:
"Girls' and women's football is not only the top female sport
in England, but also the fastest-growing sport in the UK. I started
playing football when I was very young and made my Senior debut at 11.
I wish I had been able to take up such a great opportunity as this -
playing competitive football in holiday camps alongside talented players
of my age. This is a great chance to develop your skills, promote the
spirit of fair play and above all enjoy yourself. I wish every player,
team and coach good luck in the competition."
