Do you think girls should be allowed to join boy's HS sports teams?

If there is no sport for the gender, then yes. For example, if there is no girls' football team and there is a boys' football team then either (a) let the girl join the boys' football team or (b) form a girls' football team.\n\nI feel the same vice versa. In the article you linked to, I disagree with the court's ruling. Since there was no boys' gym team, the school should have made provision for him to compete with the girls' team, formed a boys' team, or allowed him to join a neighboring boys' team.

most school programs don't recognize the fact that the girls want to wrestle to so they have to wrestle with the boys... either that or the particular school in question either doesn't have the funding for a second women's team or there isn't enough interests... as said.... as far as I know there's nothing in the rulebooks concering schoolastic wrestling that even bothers to mention gender except for not using that as a means to subdue an opponent... so is for the most part gender free.........\n\nwith that being said.... if they can do mat wrestling, why does some juristictions require even MORE insurance for women wrestlers.... IE professional style.... boggles the mind

My daughter is nearly 9 and distressed that boys and girls get changed for PE in the class room together.  I spoke to the school and they informed me they have to as no changing facilities in the school.\nThe school do not think it is an issue but some children do!

Girls can do sports such as football and baseball, just not in good competition with men. Please consider the psychical realities. Do not confuse equality of opportunity with equality of identity. They may be exceptional women who can compete with men, but on average, in these sports, very few.

You should check with all the ice rinks and arenas in your area, as well as the recreation departments.  If there are hockey leagues in your area, I'll bet they have teams for girls and boys your age!

Pro's- allows scholarship dollars and opportunities for women in sports based on attendance.  Must be within a certain percentage (reporting and compliance have varied.)\n\nCon's-  schools have decided to cut male programs to create the new scholarships rather than spend money to create new ones.  Also, women's sports do not generate as much money as their male counterparts.  (Softball, Soccer, and Basketball are the only semi-lucrative one's)

Yes, First Aide should be discussed during Girl Scouting or Boy Scouting.

Yea, I think it needs to be included..\n\nI think they should have a college sports category, that would cover football, basketball and other college sports\n\nLets make it happen!!

I love it. I think girls should have some meat on their bones. Who wants a girl that you can feel the bones in their body. Bones are supposed to be in the body, not for show on the outside!!

I don't see why not.  If people would prefer to go to a non-coed school they should be able to.

No I think football can be a guy or girl sport. One of my good friends plays football. And she is really good. She plays for her hish school team and she plays most of the game time. I think you parents are just being over-protective.

i think that that is going too far. when kids sign up for something, lots of times, they want to enjoy themselves, have fun with their friends outside of school and maybe learn something. not many kids are looking to be asked to join a professional team. a lot of times, it depends on how old the kids are and exactly what they are doing. if they are on the other side of the field (so they can't hear their parents when they regularly talk) and they are letting the ball go inches past their glove, while they talk on their cellphone, then i think SOMEONE should say something. there are some cases when someone should say something and when people shouldn't say something. i played sports for a long time, and it only made me nervous. Hope this helps.

boys have an unfair advantage in strength/speed (when puberty starts), it makes the games more competitive if the sexes are separated.

No.  Scholarships are based on talent.\n\nFrankly, I think sports scholarships should be done away with.  In many countries they are actually illegal and the focus of college is on education and sports is only of secondary concern.
