[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just need 2 rules to make high level coed soccer work.

1. When a girl scores its worth 2 goals not 1
2. When there's a foul players have to leave the game first 5-10 minutes (like hockey)

This gives teams incentives to play girls and disincentivizes fouls and aggressive play. Which evens the playing field for girls.[/quote]

The first rule is ridiculous, because it seems to imply that the only important role on the team is scoring.  It might incentivize teams to play female strikers, but does nothing for female defenders, or GK's.

A more sensible rule is what other coed sports have, which is that a certain number of players on the field need to be female at any given point.  Look at Ultimate frisbee, and water polo are two sports with a lot of coed leagues.

The second rule just made me laugh.  Yes, let's look at ice hockey as an example of how to reduce aggressive play, because it's definitely not an issue there! /s[/quote]
I always thought soccer should have a penalty limit like basketball. After x number of fouls you are out of the game.[/quote]
