If it’s called the girls’ field hockey team, then why is there a boy on the field? That’s what some parents were asking as they watched Dennis-Yarmouth face off against Acton-Boxboro Tuesday with goalie Max Allen protecting the DY goal net. “Look at him lined up with everybody else. I mean, there’s such a physical difference,” said Maura Champigny watching her daughter’s team face Allen. “Having a boy in a field hockey net somehow doesn’t sit well.”
It’s a battle high school sports officials have tested before. In fact the MIAA challenged the issue all the way to the Massachusetts State Supreme Court, and lost. “We can agree with some of the issues people have about safety. We can agree with some of the issues people have culturally. It just doesn’t seem right,” said the MIAA spokesman Paul Wetzel.

Well, its one way to meet women.
Gender Identity Elections have consequences.
1. Men’s field hockey is an Olympic sport..... Women’s field hockey is not.
2. Several years ago, my nephew was on his high school’s field hockey team — playing on the “women’s” team. He also played lacrosse. Title 9 enables any student to be on a team when the sport is played only by one sex.
Max ain't so stupid.
Shower time can get extra credit for biology courses.
Still, there is always the risk of cooties.
1. In America field hockey is for females.
2. Actually no title 9 doesn’t allow that, The Mass Supreme court allows it which ruled against the MIAA. Most states don’t allow girls to play on boys high school sports teams. My sons are not allowed to play on girls teams by me. That is my law.
Girls on boy’s teams are fine though. Title IX and all that.
Besides, it might give him a better chance to orally gratify the football team. This way, the footballer can honestly claim he got a bj from a member of the girl's field hockey team... He can then keep quiet about wanting to go to bed with Bruce Jenner.
It's getting sicker by the day...
Why do they do that (bathroom visits in pairs)? Do the girls need to keep talking even then, in the loo?
Not by me. There was a female wrestler who became state champion after many of her opponents refused to wrestle her.
Political correctness be damned. It is either both... or none...
Oh, I agree, you want equal rights here you go. I hope this same coach goes out and grabs 8 or 9 boys for next years team and really show’s them.

Some states get it. Central High field hockey team barred from field due to boy player
What’s good for the goose . . . . Let’s see how much support the country has for Title IX nonsense when a bunch more muscular, 6’3, 230 pound teenage boys start playing girls’ sports.
Correct. title IX has nothing to do with it. Mass passed a very broad equal rights amendment which their state courts have determined allows boys to play on girls teams.
My state, Missouri, is like most others, girls can play in any sport not offered to girls (ie football & wrestling). Boys are only allowed if there is no other sport they could be playing that season. Since there is always some sport in season no boys ever play on girls teams.
The reason is simple, obvious, and to the title IX’ers, sexist. Girls don't change the balance of a boys sport, in most cases they are at a competitive disadvantage. A boy playing a girls sport fundamentally changes the competition due to their on average greater athleticism.
Oh, Mass. liberals can suck it.
Boys playing field hockey is actually one of the more common cases, from what I've seen.
In grade school when all the kids picked band instruments to learn, I picked the flute.
I was the only boy flute player... and lemme tell ya... all the awkward 13 year old girls that played the flute in grade school turned out to be the smokin’est, hottest chicks in High School.
I wish I had stuck with it.
