[quote=Anonymous]That's probably true at the older age groups, particularly if a girl has never played against boys. But actually Marta herself always played in a boys' club before going pro because during her time, Brazil didn't have any girls clubs.

I'm actually thinking though this may be more useful in younger age groups like U12 or in areas where there is no girls DA to join. So this may not even be helpful in DMV for the most part.

In Europe they do more coed training than we do, and I think given the flatness currently of the girls' game, at the earlier ages, it may lay some interesting foundations.

All of this is assuming they can legitimately make the team.  sorry, I know that sounds sexist but the girls' game lacks sophistication. I have watched both DA genders play and the level of the boys DA is way higher.

That said, if someone finds that webinar that US Soccer put out, they actually suggest as well that for the exceptionally talented girl, to just train once a week with the boys if training with the girls isn't challenge enough. And you keep adding on training days (or something like that) before you just add her to the team.

Anyways, it's obvious this is such a new idea, it hasn't even spread so I don't mind dropping it. I just saw that webinar a couple of months back and wondered if it had had any actual practical implementation yet, or if it was still just an idea.

No big deal. [/quote]
