Summary
"Women's football is the fastest growing international sport for women and Women on the Ball is the first book to give a comprehensive account of the woman's game. Providing an invaluable history of the last 100 years, it details the pioneering players and clubs, and includes interviews with many who have been involved in women's football as players, coaches, administrators, and supporters. Using international comparisons, Sue Lopez examines the status and training of women referees, the power and influence of the media, and the importance of support from family, friends and schools. She looks at the views of women football fans and includes the first survey of the state of play around the world with information on national clubs, associations, and star players."--Jacket.
