Taylor Beitz, new recruit at Yzeure Women’s Football

It becomes a recurring problem. As much as Women’s Football Yzeure regularly recruits field players, it is difficult to find a French goalkeeper.

Between those who do not wish to assume the constraints linked to high-level sport, those who prefer the status of third, or even fourth goalkeeper in a pro club, the task is difficult for local leaders.

This season, they once again turned to North America, more specifically Canada, and Taylor Beitz discovered the Bourbonnais.

“Here, it’s calm
and I like that ”

Five thousand kilometers separate his native Ottawa from Yzeure. Not much of a problem for this young 22-year-old player. “I was educated in Arkansas and it was already 4,000 km, so I’m used to it. I stayed for four years and I played in the varsity championship with the University of Arkansas, it was a very strong championship ”. And all of that said in French, with an adorable Quebecois accent.

Its acclimatization takes place quickly. “It’s calm here and I like it. It’s very different from home but anyway I’m here to play and I feel good. In addition, I live in the same building as Chelsea (Surprised, a young Haitian) so I don’t feel alone, even if it’s my first time in Europe ”.

Taylor Beitz made her first match last Sunday in Nice and like her teammates, she had a very good match. What they will have to reiterate on Sunday with the reception of Grenoble, another team backed by a pro club.

A match that will allow FFY supporters to discover other FFY recruits.
