Girls on Boys Sports Teams!

Imagine you love playing one sport and youve played it for your
whole life, but when you go to sign up there is only a boys sign up sheet
and you are a girl. What would you do? I think girls should be aloud on
boys sports teams because the training is better for the girls, girls are
sometimes better than boys and girls on boys teams can balance the
team.!
!
First of all, girls will get better training on boys sports teams. For
example, boys start getting much taller and stronger usually starting at
age 12. This will create harder training for girls because they have more
competition. Also, if girls are not quite as good as boys, most girls on
boys teams will become better fast because science as proven that girls
have great determination. Some girls are not as good as boys because
the coaches on the girls teams dont take them as serious as the boys.
Many boys teams even have money for uniforms and equipment and
some girls teams dont.!
!
Another reason is girls are sometimes better than boys. For
example, Samantha Gordon is a 12 year old American football player.
She scored 35 touchdowns at age 9 in her first year. Samantha has also
tackled a former NFL player named Marshall Falk. Also, Jaelyn is a 10
year old superstar basket player who is not aloud to play on the boys
team for a tournament. She can dribble way better and scores more
goals than the majority of boys on her team. The boys that Jaelyn plays
with even want her to play with them for the tournament, but the
founders of the tournament say Rules are rules, shes not aloud to
play. Jaelyn told her father The girls just dont give me enough
competition. Another example is Mone Daris is a 13 year old pitcher for
the boys FarmTeam in Pennsylvania. Her pitch can go up to 70 miles
per hour. She brought her team to glory and won the World Series.
These girls deserve to be on boys teams.!
!
My final reason is that girls on boys sports teams can balance the
team. For example, girls and boys have different traits. Boys are more
aggressive and are all about the goal, where as girls on the other hand,
are more about passing and having fun. If you were to mix the two
teams together and have a mix of gender on each position, the team
would be better than thought possible. Why would it be better than

thought possible, because the team would be a great mix of passing and
aggression and tons of goals.!
!
In conclusion, girls deserve to be on boys teams, but Im not
saying all girls should be aloud. Im saying that teams should be
measured on ability and not on gender. Next time a girl signs up on a
boys team, think before you say no.
