[quote=Anonymous]OP, because of her age, I don't have specific advice...but I would encourage you to get to the bottom of whether she would want to play if there were other girls on the team (i.e. has she just lost interest in team soccer or is all boys' intimidating?). If it's just about the all boys thing, you need to let her find a way to keep playing on a team. I'm a woman in STEM, and starting around 8th grade I was the only girl in most of my advanced science and math classes. It wasn't always easy, and believe it or not the girls teased me most claiming I was being a flirt just because I was hanging out with my classmates talking about schoolwork. I am very glad I stuck it out, though. If, as a PP stated, she decides she prefers other things, NBD. But if she lets boys intimidate her from doing things she enjoys, she will regret it.[/quote]
