I was giong to try out for the baseball team in my school because it souns awesome. I've always been into baseball and was on a team in Colorado. So, I was outside throwing the ball back and forth to each other when Mr. Cormier, the baseball coach, told me what a great arm I had. I told him I wanted to join a team. You know what he told me? SOFTBALL started aroun spring! I'm not really into softball. There are a bunch of different rules and pitches then in baseball, which I'm way better at and know more about. So, what do you think?

I have to assume you are a girl, that's pretty typical.....

I think you should be allowed to try out for the Baseball team and if you are
good enought to make the team you should be allowed to play.

I know School sports are a little different but...

I ran into this last year signing my daughter up for little league. She was 8 and never played t-ball so I had to put her in softball, she was very disappointed. She is very good, the coach didn't belive it was her first year. She is 9 this year, she doesn't want to play softball she wants to play baseball (last year there were 3 girls playing little league which I did not know when I signed her up, I won't be taking no for an answer this year)

Way to back up that youngster, onthefence. She should be in baseball if that is where she wants to be and you shouldn't take no for an answer!
Tia, you go for it kiddo! I am sure if you explain it to your parents in an adult manner, they will back you!!

I am one of those guys that remain skeptial about women playing male sports but not baseball I think they should be allowed to play that. I am in ways against women playing football I think its to violent. What I find to be ridiculous is that women are allowed to play football and men are not allowed to play womens volleyball, i tend to find something wrong with that. It seems that if you are a woman you can get away with just about anything.

There's not professional womans football, if I have my facts right, and there is professional men's volley-ball. Woman don't get away with everything. When I was twelve, in Colorado, I couldn't go through the neighborhood because I was a girl, even though my older brother could. They said " You're too young!" even though when my brother was ten he got more rights then I had at the time.
