[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a graduated boy who played travel from U9-U19 and a girl currently playing U15.

The boys in general play much more physically than the girls and another thing I have noticed is that refs call games much differently for boys than girls.  They let a lot of the physicality play out in the boys games but in the girls games, one player puts another on the ground and they almost always call it.

Maybe your daughter's coaches see her as a liability with that style of play and they want her to be more of a smart tactical player than a physical player to save them from all of the fouls and penalty kicks.[/quote]

No offense, but what level are we talking about? ECNL (G) is VERY physical and refs lot A LOT go. [/quote]

LOL! Not physical at all compared to the boys side[/quote]

Exactly - they might be physical compared to lower level girls teams but the physicality and foul-calling are completely different when comparing boys v girls. [/quote]
