Common Sense Ping.

(actually this ruins wrestling for boys, as the most common concerns they express are 1) I’ll be embarrassed if I end up touching her THERE, or 2) She’s a girl, I’m afraid I might hurt her)

Wrestling is a good sport -- but myself personally wouldn't want to compete and have to touch anybody in those regions.

And the most common concern they DON'T express is: She's a girl, I'm afraid I might lose to her. :)

All that has to be done is to have one of the guys on the team spar with her and put a legal wrestling move on her that hurts her enough that she will not want to pursue it ever again.

Or 3) what happens if I lose to her?

Or, I'll be even more embarrassed if she kicks my ass.

and (3): her proven-to-be-litigious may sue the male wrestlers for sexual assault or harassment if they touch a boob, and they will be put on the sexual predator watch list and have their futures ruined.

I’m guessing you’renot involved with youth wrestling. Both of my boys wrestle and there are girls on the team. The girls practice with the boys and girls (who you practice with depends on weight class and skill level), the coaches demonstrate using the girls (whichever wrestler just happens to be closest when a demonstration is needed) and the girls wrestle boys in tournaments... and win. Not because the boys don’t want to touch them or hurt them (believe me, lay off on one of our girls and she’ll make you regret it), but because they are well trained, well conditioned and well coached. They also know how to win with grace and lose with dignity. Get over it. No big deal unless some “adult†makes it a big deal.

[Secret Agent Man]

those parents would sue if their girl got hurt.

also if she felt she got touched inappropriately.

good grief. let common sense prevail.
