[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm second generation Latino and this is bullshit.

My mother ran track. I played tennis. My aunts played softball.

Ugh. [/quote]

Hola!

Exactamente que parte es "bullshit"? Quiza deberias aclararlo, para no confundir mas a la gente.

Estamos hablando a nivel general. Nos encanta el track, y el tenis, y tambien el voleibol. Pero, en mi opinion, nada como el futbol para llegar a todos los ambitos.

Un saludo y buen fin de semana[/quote]

And my grandmother ran track, played volley ball. My grandfather played beisbol. Soccer isn't big in Cuba, but growing up my mom/aunt/their female cousins were never encouraged to play sports. [/quote]
There is a whole sport in Ecuador called "Ecuavolley" that everyone, men and women play. Basically, just like volleyball but the net is a bit higher and the ball is a hard plastic soccer ball and "carries" are okay.

Also, Judo and Taekwondo are both hugely popular sports with women and girls in many Latin American countries.

The whole "conundrum" of this thread sort of bothers me. Not all latino/as are the same. Do a little research on what countries the target populations are from and what particular sports are popular in those countries (yes, aside from soccer/football because not everyone plays!). And offer those sports. This isn't rocket science.
It amazes me that every one of [/quote]
