The Influence Of Girls On Boys Sports Teams

The setting up of co-ed, or mixed gender, teams in schools has been highly debated by many students, parents, and school staff. Some argue than not allowing girls and boys to play on the same team promotes gender stereotypes among kids, while others claim that because of differences in body size and strength, boys and girls should not be on the same team. Co-Ed teams are in place across the nation with many claiming that they “promote a healthy environment where boys and girls are equal”, but the reality is that the forming of co-ed teams in some sports like football or basketball is not a good idea because boys won’t be able to get as physical with girls as they would with boys, nor would they be able to play by the same rules.

My first point is when do we decide boys should play with boys and girls should play with girls. Everyone develops at their own rate, which means that some girls develop at a faster rate than boys and could be able to compete fairly. A 12 year old girl named Makhaela Jenkins took this idea to court in 2013. She was fighting for her right to play on a boys only football team. She won her case, and that year there was more then 1,500 girls playing on boys football teams, which is a 17% increase since 2009, according to the National Federation of State high school Association.

In the world of sports it started off that girls could never play sports and then in 1972 a public law called Title IX came to existence which allowed girls to play sports but not with boys. Today the question is asked should girls play on boys’ sports teams? One would think that girls should not play with boys on a sports team because boys are just naturally taller and stronger than women and they would dominate the girls in a fully contact sport. Another may think that if a girl is truly capable to play on an all boys’ sports team, then she should not be denied the opportunity to try out for an all boys’ team. Some other people may believe that sports at younger ages should remain co-ed because boys and girls body types are still

Although many people may think that boys and girls should not be on the same team, it should be a right and privilege. Girls and boys should have the choice whether or not to play on the same teams. Not only is it more entertaining, but it is an act of our freedom to play with whoever they pick.

Although many people are biased to whether girls should be able to play sports with boys, there are many decisive reasons to make this official. This is a topic that not many people can agree with.

If high school athletics gets cut for girls, the other girls would have to find a new hobby and have a better chance of taking the path to drugs and alcoholism. If all the girls sporting events get cut, then there is a greater chance that If all the girls that are good enough to play on boys teams funding might get cut. If the girl sports players went and played on boys teams, then it would first be unfair for men, and the girls funding could get cut(http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-girls-be-allowed-to-play-on-boys-sports-teams ). Girls should stay off boys teams to help school funding. If all the girls that are good sports players and could play on boys sports teams and the school cuts girls, the girls will not go to college( http://thelariatonline.com/girls-shouldnt-play-on-boys-teams/ ). If the girls don’t go to college, there would be a lot fewer people going to college, so the colleges wouldn’t be able to give scholarships for those who need them to attend college. The girls playing on boys teams could result in the women's sports getting

Throughout history, woman have been fighting for equality with men. This fight isn’t over and doesn’t stop with the right to vote or the right to wear pants. The progressive movements of feminism are starting to creep into younger generations, including, but not limited to young girls wanting to play on predominantly male-dominated sport teams. There are a lot of controversies when looking at this topic, saying there’s a natural strength advantage, it would be uncomfortable for a male to compete alongside females, among other reasons but ultimately, if the drive and effort is present, there are legal rights and no legitimate reason for woman to not be given the opportunity to prove themselves and normalize the incorporation of females to male sports.

Why girls and boys shouldn’t play sports together Boy and girls shouldn’t play the same sports together for several reasons. First, females might get more injuries than boys because some of them are more fragile. Next girls have some of their own sports like boys. Finally, people might get mad that girl’s are playing in boy’s sports.

When it comes to girls being able to play on sport teams, I favor this simply because it is a right for them to do so, the allegations formed against are unfair and unjust, and being placed on a team should be determined by skills, determination and abilities rather than gender.

Even though there are many schools that allow their students to play together, I think that it is a bad idea. If a girl is going to play a sport with a boy, she could get hurt. Yes, you can get hurt in any sport, boy/girl, but if a girl plays football, she might get really hurt if she is weak.

Dear,Principal you should let the girls play on the boys soccer team .Girls and boys should be able to play on the same team their is nothing wrong with letting a girl on the boys soccer team.The girl will probably have a friend on the soccer team ,and that’s why the principal should join the boys soccer team.Boys and girls should have the same experience of playing on the same sports with each other and they can get along with each other and get along better and have fun.

Over the years, girls have gained self-confidence playing on the boys’ middle school and high school sports team. Today, many females believe they are capable to play on a boy’s middle school and high school sports’ team. Therefore, I believe girls should play on the same sports team as boys because the girls' sports team may be too challenging for advanced level girls, and they have the strength and self-confidence like a boy. While some girls appreciate playing on an all-girl sports team, some may find the girls’ sports team is challenging because they have been playing a sport their entire life.

As an incoming freshman in high school, I was lucky enough to play on the girls basketball team but, I didn’t enjoy it a whole lot due to the fact that I like to be around people who motivate me and make me feel like family and the girls on the team I was playing with didn’t provide that. I love sports and I wanted to continue to participate in a sport throughout secondary school but, I didn't know what to do because I didn't want to play basketball with girls that make me feel unwelcome. That's when one of my friends brought up running on the cross country team. At first I dreaded the thought of running because it reminded me of middle school when we had to run a mile every Wednesday on the track and I didn't enjoy that one bit but, I decided

Most importantly, girls should not be separated by there sexually. Secondly, girls can do mostly the same things that boys can do. In addition, if girls don't play with boys on sports teams. In this easy evidence will clearly show why girls should be allowed to be on boys sport teams.

During this century women have been able to break out of the traditional female mold. Women have broken the chains that bond them to the home and have emerged into all sorts of male dominated arenas, including sports. Women have become athletes in their own right. In the last ten years there has been validation for the female athlete. The WNBA was created giving women a professional league in a mainstream traditionally male sport for the first time since the All American Girls Professional Baseball League went out of existence in the 1950s. And recently a woman made the cut and participated on the professional golf circuit with the men. Today, we see women athletes in the media regularly. Women's college basketball is given airtime on weekends just as men's is.
