[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My seven year old daughter is an exceptional athlete, and is never not moving: soccer is her chosen sport, but if she's not running around with a soccer ball, she's playing baseball, basketball, tennis, doing gymnastics.  [u]We moved to Europe last year,[/u] and for the first year, she did fine playing on a team with only boys.  She also spent every recess playing soccer with the boys.  But this year, she said she didn't want to play on the team anymore, and her teachers have told us that she's no longer playing at school either.  She still plays with her dad a lot, but when asked, says she doesn't want to play with the boys anymore.  She's asked to do different extracurriculars - all that are single player focused, such as horseback riding and gymnastics.  We've allowed that, but feel really sad about this!  Any suggestions?  Is it just this age that the gender differences become more prominent?  We've looked for a girls' league to no available; it seems they don't exist until the girls are older...[/quote]

Why do people always do this?  It's a continent, for Pete's sake.  It's quite different if you moved to the Moldova or Germany. (Where they do have girl's teams for 7 yr olds)[/quote]
