Read the orginal post. The poster is not upset with the girl playing on boys team, but the fact the coach made the decision without player or parent involvement. Since there are so many opinions on this subject you have to admit this controversy might disrupt a team. Who needs the aggravation. Also, the fact that there are so many opinions might cut down the pool of players that may want to join the team next season.

It seems you are angry with the addition of a young lady to your boys team..I doubt your coach would add her if he didnt feel she was a positive to the team..i believe if a player,regardless of gender,that helps your team should be added..at a young age,as yours is,girls are typically bigger,listen better,and take direction better than boys.i know.i coached a boys premier team and i'd have given my arm for a few of our same age girls team players..It sounds as if you are a bit worried about your own kids playing time.Take it as a learning experience..dont make her feel unwanted,thats not fair...i also doubt that all of the parents feel as you do...let it play out and i bet it works out in a positive way.if you are digruntled then go..but give her a chance...btw..what is your soccer/sports expierence...its 2011...get out of the dark ages...good luck to you,your team and that special young lady who is taking a huge chance...she must be a brave kid..
