About Us

Taipei United is originally started by Melanie and Carrie. A Taiwanese and a Dutch girl. They loved to play soccer, but had no where to go to play. It was always with boys, boys had to invite them. So they started there own team. In the beginning it was hard. Finding girls that want to do some extra exercise and learn about soccer. So we had a rough time, but we are finally here. We made it!!!!!!
[台北聯女子足球隊]是由一位荷蘭女孩Melanie(美樂妮)和台灣女孩Carrie(小琪)一起成立. 我們熱愛足球,但沒有女子球隊可以加入.只能和男孩子一起練習.所以我們決定要成立一個女子足球隊.剛開始不太順利,女孩子們總是用怕曬黑,擔心腿變粗, 不喜歡流汗的理由來回絕我們的邀請.很少有女孩子想要做點特別的運動或是想要學學怎麼踢足球.雖然一開始有點艱困,但最終我們做到了!

What We Do?

我們教女生踢足球,大家一起去了解足球好玩的地方並開心的踢球.
We teach young girls to play soccer, to understand soccer and especially to have fun.

我們的目標很簡單,我們想要成立一個不是靠贊助商來經營的女子足球隊,而是純粹娛樂性質的一個球隊.我們踢球單單只是因為我們喜歡踢球,而不是因為我們一定要贏得什麼勝利.在比賽時我們當然會盡力表現,但勝利對我門來說並不是最重要的.我們只要女孩子們知道足球是多麼好玩的一種運動.
Our goal is very easy, we are trying to setup a girls team which is not depending on incomes from sponsors, we want it to be recreational. We want girls to play just because they like soccer, not because they have to win. Ofcourse when we play a match we give our best, but winning is not the most important. We want girls to see how much fun soccer can be and is.

Why girls soccer???

• 足球,就如同其他的運動,需要在場上不斷地跑動.長期踢球可以使你擁有強健的體魄唷!soccer, similar to other sports, requires players to move constantly without standing or waiting. This makes you move all the time and will result in great body strenght in long term

• 在足球的世界裡,體型不是那麼重要.重要的是技術和團隊配合.我相信大家一定會愛上這個運動.in soccer size doesn't matter. It is a game all about skills ans you will definatly enjoy the game.

• 雖然踢球有時會與其他球員有身體上的碰撞,但和其他運動相較之下,踢足球反而沒有那麼容易受傷.even though bodycontact is involved in the game, there is a very low chance of injury comparing with many other sports.

• 你不需要花大錢才能和朋友一起踢球,要踢球很簡單,你可以在公園的綠地,住家的後院甚至是街道上任何的地方踢球,然後找個物品來當做球門.It is cheap. You do not need millions to just play a small game with your friends. You do not need millions to get started. That makes it so much easier. And you can play it anywhere, on a grassfield in the park, in your backyard, on the street. Goals are easily made using to objects.

What is important to bring to practice?

練球要帶什麼呢?
球場的設備很基本.我們沒有更衣室,但還是可以在場邊換衣服.但球場是開放的,所以就看你自己取捨了.另外,不要帶太貴重的物品,因為可能有人會經過便順手牽羊.
The field is very basic, we have no locker rooms, you can still get changed just off the pitch. But it is in the open, so see for youself what you prefer. Do not bring too much value things, as it happens that sometimes people walk by and take stuff. (Guess it happens everywhere!)

不一定要穿釘鞋,但有時連續下了幾天雨,場地會變的泥濘,狀況不佳,穿著一般的運動鞋在場上奔跑就會變的很滑,有點危險.你也可以穿壘球鞋,曲棍球鞋或是鞋子底部有突起小圓釘的鞋子.
Soccershoes are not a must, but especially when it has been raining normal running shoes are a bit dangerous, as the field gets very slippery. You can also wear hockey shoes, the ones with many small knobs underneath.
