I have also witnessed the great enhancement for both genders when sports are played coed. My two youngest daughters play on coed soccer teams and the youngest also plays coed hockey- the effect is wonderful- for both boys and girls. The girls know that they have teh chance to prove they are everybit as good as any boy, while the boys have to play at their best as well. Its really the parents who have the toughest time with coed sports. But they are coming along. I haven't actually seen the film- how can I do that? I'll have to get in contact with Jenny I guess. In the mean time, teen girl athletes, check out a site dedicated to you and the needs of being a teen girl athlete while being a girl- http://TigressTeens.ning.com Its really great that people are realizing the great abilities of girls as whole human beings!
