[quote=Anonymous]I say this as a parent whose children played sports, but the girls were just casual players, so it's not like I'm against girls being sporty and active. However, some of my youngest daughters friends are only in 9th and 10th grade, have been on the all-year travel/club/training/lessons circuit, and as a result are way too muscular. The training and playing schedule has stripped them of their femininity. I don't think developing bodies ever fully recover from this; the huge calves, trunk thighs, chiseled boy-ish backs and broad shoulders are likely going to be with them for life. I can't be the only one a little troubled by this.[/quote]
