Today kids seem angrier and more hostile.  There's also a pack mentality.  When I was in school, if you got in a fight, once the other person went down, you quit.  Now kids keep kicking and stomping and then more kids will pile on.  It's terrible.  It's like they've lost their ability to control their selves.

Not at all. Girls can be stronger than boys.

1. Biologically speaking, are females as physically inclined as males at this age?\n\n2. Is it possible for  females and males be given the same considerations on sports teams? (EX: Females have regular menstrual cycles that produce different effects: Cramps, etc...)\n\n3. Would the aggression the athletes play with remain the same? (Would a male basketball player play defense the same if the opponent was female?\n\n4. Would sexual harassment become more prevalent in sports?\n\n5. What precautions would have to be taken?

Yes it will hurt a girl if you kick her in the groin area. No, she won't roll on the floor like the guys in the movies. But why would you want to know?

yes cheerleading is a sport. especially competive cheering with stunts involved. its so funny to hear boys talk about how its not a sport, but imagine how much more funny it would be to watch them try it. it's difficult to do, it takes talent and stamena, practice and technique. Just because your not knocking anyone down to get a ball, doesnt make it any less of a sport. Its alot more then kicking and screaming, anyone that can actually do it can tell you that. You can't "play" swimming but its still a sport. Idiots.

Yes. It is a demanding sport and requires strength, coordination, and stamina. Try playing it and you will see.

Yes! I have been playing for 3 years now with my high school team. Water polo is only rough if you make it rough. You can be a good player without ever being hurt. Just stay calm and keep your head. When other people play rough, just laugh at them. Thats always fun because then they get mad!! I love playing water polo! But even more, I love practicing and learning all of the techniques to play better. Definitly try out! Also, the fact that you have been swimming for 5 years means that you won't be too wiped out. Hopefully you have a large team. (the fact that you will have to try out for the team also indicates that there are so many people wanting to play that they have to cut the size). Water polo is demanding, you do need to be physically fit, so if you are a swimminer than i don't think that you have too much to worry about. Worse comes to worse, you could quit and try something else, but I bet you would enjoy it! \nPS- your first game will be your worst, I know that you will be extremely confused, but after the first one, you will start to have fun.

No, that is way to much brain damage for me.  I tend to leave the masochism to the females, they are much better at than me.\n\nJohn B.

I had a female try out in high school for our team she quit after the first week. alot of guys would seriously hit her hard for know reason. I honestly believe you could try out for your high school team the problem is that you are going to take a lot of abuse from the guys on your team and the opposing team.

I know the high school I went to we didnt have a boys volleyball team and there were about 3 guys who signed up to play on the girls team.  They tried to tell us we couldnt play but after a nice court battle we got to play.\nthe law is (well in PA anyway), if a school does not offer a sport for both sexes, they can play BUT if there is a sport (like ur situation: hockey) that has BOTH boy and girl teams, then they have to play on the same sex team.

Soccer--twisted my knee in a funny position.  \n\nVolleyball--got hit in the face a few times by over-zealous spikers (men)and got knocked down by over-zealous teammates (men) and got to a point where I refuse to ever play with men again.  \n\nBadminton--Got hit in the head and face by my doubles partner at the time as she was hogging my portion of the court the entire time.  As soon as the game was over, I walked away and refused to ever play with her again.  \n\nDoes that work for 'ya?

yes.\nI knew a girl once, she was no more than fifteen and she could beet anyone at arm wrestling. full grown men over twice her age stood no chance.\nShe didn't even look very muscular, that's the surprising thing, she appeared thin and frankly a little weedy. It's only if she hit you you'd find out that wasn't true.

I do think alot of people think it is a guys game....I went to football tryouts in school and chose not to play. I just wanted to make a point...that girls can play if they really want.(and i am a small girl)
