[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her play with the boys, it's great for girls and boys to play mixed gender sports at this age. Why do you feel like you need to separate her out from the boys so early? Are you also going to insist that she have a pink jersey?

My daughter really excelled on a team of 2 girls and 8 boys from K-2, and she made lifelong friends out of some of those boys while a lot of the other girls her age never hung out with or talked with boys.[/quote]

Not gonna speak for OP but my daughter hates playing soccer with boys (though she did play coed in k). Their level of play is rougher and more aggressive and she’s tiny and gets bodied off the ball. I agree that she’d probably get better faster if she played with boys, but instead she just wouldn’t play at all since it’s not fun for her. She has fun playing on all girls teams and is competitive enough there. It’s not about pink jerseys.[/quote]

This is what happened with my daughter too. At 5,  most of the boys had already been playing for a while. Skills were higher and play was more aggressive. We do not watch sports so she did not even have a basic understanding of the game. And the clinic did not break out by ability.
