The Football Association’s Women’s Super League: Over-ambitious?

It looks like the Women's Super League in England, a new semi-professional venture (not fully professional, as some are saying), will finally launch in 2011 and the application process is now open for clubs who wish to participate.

The plan is for eight teams to compete in a summer season from March to October, thus minimising schedule conflicts with the men's game but also going up directly against Women's Professional Soccer in the United States.
