Here’s the thing - it’s the same for all of these situations:
When I was college age I didn’t mind playing touch/flag football with the girls...provided they did not ask or expect special treatment for being girls.

One winter a bunch of us were playing touch in the Kibbie Dome on the University of Idaho campus. I played D-line and was beating the guy across from me like a drum, so they decided to put a girl across from my, expecting my generally gentlemanly nature to slow my roll...BAD MOVE! It had been a while since I’d played any kind of football, and I LOVED the contact, and my high school coach taught us that there are no gentlemen on the football field. On the sidelines, on the street, in class, on campus - we’d darn well better be gentlemen, but on the field we were to be brutes.

Well, I beat that female opponent like a drum on a rented mule led by a red-headed stepchild. A gracious, godly couple in town opened their home to all the college aged kids in the local church. After this particular game, some of the girls complained to the lady of the house about how rough I was. LOL - her response was, “Good for him! You were playing football weren’t you?”

ANYHOW - if you want to play the game and are willing to take your licks like everybody else - I have no problem, except I think most girls (and their parents) would be foolish to compete with the boys.

How does the coach teach a move to a girl? JUST LIKE HE DOES TO A BOY! If she doesn’t like the close contact...go play volleyball or tennis or softball.

How does a boy wrestle a girl? JUST EXACTLY LIKE HE WRESTLES A GUY! Forget about the “parts”, Just get in there and put the hurt on your opponent.

Now guy cheerleaders? Now THERE’S the deal! Tell be those guys don’t have a great time!
