Man, are you guys out of touch. I’ve got an 11 year old boy that plays football, hockey and wrestles. Every one of his teams has or has had girls on them. No standout girls in football but one of the leading scorers on his hockey team is a girl. There are four girls on his team of 16. In wrestling, there are three girls on the squad. Two are not good at all but have continued to wrestle for three years. A new girl on the squad last year won the City Tournament and went to State. She’s only 10 but won several matches at State. She’ll probably win State this year as she has gone to every clinic and camp the parents could send her to. The only problem they’ve encountered has been a-hole dads that say unbelievably terrible things to them at matches.

I've coached hockey for years (travel and house leagues). When I coached Peewee, we had several girls who played on the team. They were decent players. By the time the kids were in Midget, not a single girl was left.

If you honestly think you can compare the abilities of 10 year-olds (where girls mature slightly faster) and teenagers (after boys have hit puberty), you are delusional to the point of ridiculousness. High-school-aged girls are inferior at EVERY sport they would compete against boys in. Even the best girl player would struggle to compete against the mediocre high school age boys. You are letting your ideology blind you to reality.

Your opinion. Means little.

If you read through these posts, you can read about female state high school wrestling champions.

Even if your point were true and even if it were valid, it doesn’t give a reason why a girl that wants to wrestle shouldn’t be allowed to wrestle.
