Boys and girls
teams
Imagine
a
girl
named
Stacy
she
is
the
only
girl
on
her
hockey
team.
Stacy
is
not
that
talented,
or
big,
her
coach
never
plays
her,
and
when
she
does
she
never
even
touches
the
puck.
Stacy
goes
home
and
never
wants
to
play
a
sport
again.
Now
imagine
Stacy
is
your
daughter.
Integrating
boys
and
girls
in
contact
sports
would
result
in
injuries
and
is
unnecessary.
Once
boys
reach
puberty
it
is
unfair
for
boys
to
compete
against
girls
in
contact
sports
because
of
there
size
and
coaching.
"Due
to
male
hormone
androgen
boys
develop
more
muscle
mass
per
unit
volume
of
body
mass
than
girls"
(Woman's
Sports
Foundation).
This
could
cause
serious
injuries
to
when
a
boy
impacts
a
girl
hard
and
could
give
the
boy
on
the
other
team
a
big
advantage.
"Also
some
coaches
on
the
boys
side
will
not
play
girls
equally,
or
if
the
girl
is
not
talented
she
will
not
get
the
playing
time
and
coaching
needed
to
develop"
(USA
Hockey).
This
could
hurt
a
girls
self
esteem,
make
them
not
want
to
play
sports
and
overall
do
nothing
good
for
them.
Girls
playing
on
boys
teams
is
also
unnecessary
because
girls
have
benefits
of
playing
on
there
own
team.
"All
female
teams
and
associations
will
have
sports
directors,
managers
and
coaches
focused
on
the
specific
need
of
a
female
player"
(USA
Hockey).
This
could
make
a
girl
feel
more
comfortable
and
help
get
the
right
coaching
they
need
which
would
lead
to
the
playing
and
enjoying
the
sport
more.
"There
are
now
pro
full
contact
football
leagues
for
woman
such
as
the
national
all
woman's
football
league
and
the
international
all
woman
football
league"
(Woman's
Sports
Foundation).
This
gives
them
a
better
chance
of
playing
professionally
at
there
own
level.
However
some
select
few
woman
who
can
compete
with
or
against
men
this
topic
should
not
be
applied
to
you.
But
for
most
keeping
men
and
woman
separate
on
contact
sports
teams
and
at
their
own
level
of
play
is
the
is
the
best
option
for
keeping
people
safe
physically
and
mentally
.
This
would
help
players
self
esteem
for
playing
with
players
they
are
equal
to
and
to
have
them
more
interested
in
the
sport.
If
we
continue
then
millions
of
girls
will
continue
to
drop
out,
and
not
enjoy
sports
at
a
young
age.
Talk
to
your
friends
and
spread
the
word
about
this
problem.
