It’s such an amazing thing that we are still dealing with the gender issue in sports especially. I have also witnessed the great enhancement for both genders when sports are played coed. My two youngest daughters play on coed soccer teams and the youngest also plays coed hockey- the effect is wonderful- for both boys and girls. The girls know that they have teh chance to prove they are everybit as good as any boy, while the boys have to play at their best as well. Its really the parents who have the toughest time with coed sports. But they are coming along.
