[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think boys can be on girls teams up to age 13. And likely they can also register for girls competitions up to that age. It's sad that they took the medals though, they should have handed them down to the girls. They had their fun, their parents were happy that they could beat the girls, but taking the medals home was questionable. Just imagine bragging to their friends about winning a girls tournament. Unfortunately, there are not many options for boys-only tournaments. [/quote]

13 is way too old for boys to compete against girls. Many boys have entered puberty and are so much stronger than girls by age 12-13.

My 2 boys played in a little league baseball division thay was for boys ages 11-13. My kids were tiny at age 11 and there were literally 12 and 13 year old boys over 6 feet and one boy weighed 200 pounds (his father was a 6’6” former rugby player). It was a crazy age division.

One of my boys played boys volleyball in 7th grade and almost all the boys hit harder than the 8th grade girls even though the girls were much better technically. If they scrimmaged the coach said absolutely no spiking the ball for the boys. And he didn’t let two boys serve who hit the hardest.[/quote]
