Should the best female players be allowed to compete in co-ed temas with the boys?

The definition of co-ed is basically boys and girls, so there should be no rule against girls playing too.  But maybe you mispoke and meant a team that is gender specific...  In that case, yes.  Good players should have the opportunity to play with other good players.  That is the only way they will develope better skills.  If a female has the ability and is better than some of the boys, let her play.  But don't lower the standards just to let her on the team.

I think it is a good thing but not at a senior level at the moment because we can't guarentee the safety of girls at this time but I think girls playing with man at top level should happen in the future

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.

yes i think it should...i mean it seems as if america has been born to think that men are the dominant gender for sports. i think that it is time that women can be reconized! i am all the way with softball being a famous sport.

I don't see why not! As long as she shows a good in-depth knowledge of the game and can keep up with the action, I say let a woman go for it! Tafoya and Kolber might be pretty good if ever given a chance.

Because Girls are always are in competition with eachother. I dont know why because it is bad. I have been known to do it. Girls shouldnt do that though.

It would be nice. Unfortunately we teach our daughters this competitive behavior from the time they are born.

Well, I don't think that is the completely sensible solution.\n\nIn tournaments where MEN play BEST-OF-5 and WOMEN play BEST-OF-3, the prize money for men should be higher. But not by much, this should be practically insignificant in my opinion.\n\nNo, abolishing the MEN BEST-OF-5 format would be terrible. It's just too exciting.\n\nIn tournaments where both MEN and WOMEN play BEST-OF-3 matches, I strongly stand for equal prize money among the genders.\n\nIt is true that in most cases men's tennis is a little more exciting than women's tennis, and therefore, it's difficult to blame tournament officials for slight differences in prize money. But significant differences should be modified. Men's tennis is probably a little more exciting than women's tennis because men averagely are stronger and have fitter, more able bodies than women, though only slightly, and also women often have troubles in tennis due to discomfort in body parts that are not in men.

I think the answer to the sports part is too obvious.  Boys are stronger than girls.  Boys are rougher than girls.  Girls cannot compete physically.  The only benefit I can see for separating the sexes during school is so that their minds won't wander so much.  Maybe they would pay more attention to their work.

No they shouldn't be allowed to play.  By allowing them to play the school, and their parents are telling them that knowledge isn't as important as winning a game.  Although many young people look to sports as a way to physically better themselves or even as a route to college they should not forego bettering themselves academically for the sake of playing.

Must be girls because if we start to win, then they quit and pout and make us feel guilty. There is no way for guys to win, ever, in any competition with a girl.

I think it's a great idea, although I wouldn't agree to a board proposing that all schools be same-sex. It changes the social dynamics so much and in a positive way, usually, especially at the junior high and high school levels. The girls don't have to worry about the boys making fun of them when they start \n'developping' and hit puberty and the girls don't have to be so catty towards each other in terms of male attention. The boys won't spend their time trying to be all macho in front of girls or checking the girls out or stuff like that.

The only ones who are allowed to participate are the ones who are already performing academically.  \n\nNo good grades, no play.  \n\nThis is as it should be.
