Girls on Boys Basketball Team

Results | Messages
Perhaps you could give an opinion. We have twin 10 year-old daughters who would like to play on a basketball team for boys ages 10-11. The team plays in a small boy's school with only one locker/showerroom. When they play on the road in a tournament, they have been known to dress in a schoolroom. We don't have any problem with them playing on the team, dressing together or showering together. The male coach does so he doesn't want the girls. With the timeframe of the games, it wouldn't be practical to shower separately even if available. Please e-mail me with any suggestions: colleenmcreynolds@yahoo.com Do you think the girls have a right to play?
Should the girls be allowed to play under the conditions above?
Yes, they should if they want to and you approve.
No. Only the boys should play.
How should we get past the coach's objection?
Go to the sponsor.
Go to the local newspaper.
Go to the other parents.
Go to court.
New Question -If the boys don't want the girls to play, should they be allowed to play?
Yes, they should.
No, they shouldn't.
Further Question - According to the conditions above - as part of the team, should the girls shower with the boys even if the boys don't like it?
Yes, the girls are part of the team and should should shower with the boys even if the boys don't like it.
No, the boys should choose.
