Boys playing on girls field hockey teams

Coalition takes field hockey concerns to state house

Boys are able to play on these teams because there's no equivalent boys sport.

I'm guessing some of these kids are ice hockey players. Maybe some are from other countries where men's field hockey is much more popular and this is the only chance they have to play the sport here.

Most of the old-school field hockey coaches in this state can't stand this. Mostly, they can't stand losing to the teams that have boys on them. Is the problem that boys are allowed to play on girls teams or is it that they're usually good enough to make a difference?

It just seems to me that a lot of arguments like this in high school sports are kind of self-serving. Would anyone mind if a boy was an average or below-average player and the school just needed warm bodies to field a team?

How is it any different than a girl playing football or wrestling?

 

A few sticks to the balls should discourage them.

 

A little bit of common sense goes a long way.

Of course boys dominate field hockey. On the whole, men are stronger and faster than women. If you disagree, then I look forward to watching the MMA 160 pound female champion take on 160 pound male champion. Or the female middle weight boxing champion take on the men’s middle weight champion.

If boys want to play field hockey, have them make all male AAU teams and play each other.

If a female is good enough to make a male team, she should play. The converse does not apply.

Fuck me, people are stupid.

 

This is a continuing stealth campaign to destroy female scholastic sports such as softball and basketball, by allowing/ encouraging males who are utterly incapable of making the boys' teams, to barge onto the girls teams and kick asses of all the physiologically smaller and weaker female players.
In short order of course under such circumstances, all the girls will quit, leaving the former girls' varsity team as the "Level D-minus" boys teams, full of Waldos wearing black socks, thus releasing schools from the responsiblity of fielding such teams.

 

If boys playing field hockey is rare, how did the local players on the US team get into the sport? Club teams?

The boys who want to play field hockey are the guys who get run off the field in the first 10 minutes of lacrosse practice.

 

What self-respecting boy would wanna play under these conditions? And what parent would allow their kids to do it, either?

 

Assholes who sit around bitching about paying taxes for girls sports teams and want to "prove some points" so they can go to the bar and brag about how their boy got cut from freshman basketball but kicks ass against the girls.

 

The leading scorer (boy) is the coach’s son so I’m guessing he just grew up around the sport and grabbed a couple buddies to join him.

I laughed a little at the quote from the girl that “put it all out there on the field but that didnt help me stop him.” ... that’s high school sports. The future HR director who tried to guard Zion in 11th grade or chase Alex Morgan could’ve said the same thing.

 

It's a big country. I'm sure you csn find enough people who play just about anything to put together a "national " team for it.

 

How many high school boxing teams do we have? We somehow field a squad.
