I would think co-ed would provide more aggression for the girls and less for the boys - which I think would be better for both of them.Tracee Sioux, Sioux Ink: Soul Purpose Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511311972798310564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-84793026799780574002007-10-27T08:20:00.000-05:002007-10-27T08:20:00.000-05:00Well, I saw those Sharks and while it wasn't brill...Well, I saw those Sharks and while it wasn't brilliant soccer they would kick Happy Feet Ass. <BR/><BR/>The intensity on their faces told me that they were taking the game seriously. Because their coach was taking it seriously. <BR/><BR/>Pre-coach the kids were equal. But, after all that practice, intensity, focus on winning, importance put on aggression - they ARE better soccer players. <BR/><BR/>When one of my girls gets tired she whines and gets taken out. Then everyone gathers around her to tell her it's okay and she must not feel well. <BR/><BR/>The coach screams to pick it up and run faster if one of them are tired. Getting taken out of the game is a bad thing they are not rewarded for.Tracee Sioux, Sioux Ink: Soul Purpose Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511311972798310564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-62173552944517833902007-10-27T07:42:00.000-05:002007-10-27T07:42:00.000-05:00Sharply observed, well done!

My friend was telling me the other day than another mother was talking to her and said "the 5 yr old girls soccer team are just hopeless, the girls can't play". My friend said - "are the 5 yr old boys really any better?" No, this mother had to agree, 5 yrs old aren't that co-ordinated so they don't play brilliant soccer. But it is the girl soccer players who were assumed to be bad players for their sex and not their age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-91862475004796391882007-10-27T02:26:00.000-05:002007-10-27T02:26:00.000-05:00Hmmm.

Our 5 year old kids play in mixed teams for soccer, they don't split into boys and girls teams till the under 10's.mimbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907569024689875694noreply@blogger.com
