Coed Sports Should Be Allowed

Decent Essays
I think that coed sports should be allowed. I think that because some people don’t want to play with their own gender all the time and it can be more challenging. Before puberty, boys and girls who play sports together can learn many things about themselves. As the web site www.youthletic.com said “Signing your child up for coed youth sports can help them build important life skills like confidence and can help dispel harmful gender stereotypes”. Therefore If some people don’t want to play co- ed sports than don’t play, there should be a program for co-ed sports so those who wanna play can. One of the reasons people who don’t agree with co-ed sports is that they don’t want to play because men are bigger and stronger and if

    How fair can it get for girls to play on boys sport teams. Maybe because it’s not a law, everyone can play, so many other girls are playing on the same team as boys. It was never a law that girls have to play the “girl sports,” boys play the “boy sports.” In the article Should Girls be Allowed to Play on Boy’s Sport Teams? They stated that if the best of the best WNBA team goes against the worst NBA team, that the NBA team would crush the best WNBA team.…

    So if gender equity is really to be considered a “right”, then shouldn’t it also include the right for men to be able to participate in college sports? Why should men’s sports be removed because there aren’t females to take an equivalent spot? Equal numbers don’t necessarily mean equality. A. A right is something that people are allowed the option of exercising.…

    One reason schools shouldn’t have competitive sports is that kids are young and can hurt themselves easily or sacrifice other opportunities. Many in the field of sports are young. 60% of boys and 47% of girls are competing on sports teams by the time they’re six years old. As the child grows, training intensifies and expands to the off-season, making practice essentially year-round.…

    The number of females in varsity sports in university have nearly doubled, compared to the years before Title IX was passed (Strafford). Title IX also created more sport options for females to join because, “If female students are underrepresented in athletics, their interests must be accommodated unless the institution can show continuous expansion of sports programs” (Compton, Compton). Because of the expansion in female sports in sports they are actually interested in, the number of girls in varisty sports have increased…

Others can play with boys because they like the more aggressive sports such as football. Then there are always going to be those people who say its sexiest that the boys and girls can't play together. Without being on a co-ed team of course.…

    There is absolutely no way that women would just sit back and watch the men play all kinds of different sports as they would only be able to sit on the sidelines and cheer the men on. Women are resilient and because of that I know that if Title IX hadn’t been written into the Education amendment in 1972, then it would have been written later on. Title IX had turned the life of a female athlete completely around, but even if it didn’t exist, the female population would still be as powerful, if not more, than they already are. There are many things that are wrong with Title IX and the amendment has proven to not be enough for women to achieve equality in a world where men are considered to be drastically better and have a higher value in life. Title IX may have given women more equality when it comes to colleges and universities, but it has, by no means, been the main reason why women have been interested in sports or…

    Co-Ed sports teams consist of athletes of both genders. These types of teams are typically only available for the younger kids, but what if it was an option for the older players too? Having the option to play co-Ed sports could be a massive push in the right direction for both the children involved, and the reputation of the school promoting it. The school would likely be the only one in town offering the student athletes a fun and healthy way to learn to work with others, relieve themselves from stress, and learn to have mutual respect for others no matter your differences. Co-Ed sports teams could be a great way to learn to work with others, help them make friends, and a healthy relief from school stress for everyone.…

    Girls Should be allowed to play on boys sports team Did you know that 76.3 percent of girls age 9-12 cited “fun’’ as the primary reason to be physically active? We, the girls are allowed to play in boys sports team, too. I mean I know that it could be dangerous for some girls but, if you want to play then go for it. I am in favor that girls should be allowed to play in sports team. These are my three reasons:everyone should have a opportunity to take advantage of every educational program in our schools including athletics, girls that do sports have greater confidence, self-esteem and pride in everything they carry through, and the last one the schools are required under a law not to discriminate.…

    I believe that men and women should not play sports together. Every person has had a time in their life when they had an argument about which gender is better. On a playground in grade school every child has been in an argument saying “boys and girls drool” or vice versa. In this day and age those same kids have grown up and women have gain equal rights with men which they deserve. There’s an argument saying that men and women should be playing sports together as well.…

    Coed sports have an outsized sum of controversy. I personally stand for coed sports and strongly believe they should be allowed regardless of the sport. Coed sports should be permitted worldwide as they promote gender equality, reduce injury rate, enhance an athlete’s confidence, and build friendships within both genders. Gender Equality is just one of the countless progressive factors of coed sports.…
