My heart says "Hell yes. If you can make the team, play." I don't think the physical differences are all that great until you get way up the ladder.

But reality is that girls should play girls and boys should play boys. Not because they are physically superior/inferior but because by moving her to a boys team you disrespect the girls. You might as well say " We are moving the most gifted girl to a boys team cause girls just suck." With that attitude you are right.

I really like that they let her 'play up'. I like that they acknowledged her obvious talent and hard work and let her express that in a more competitive way.

It's a tough question, and the truth is there is no single right answer. There are some wrong answers but no answer that is always right.

Nice post, my friend. You sure enough got people talking!
