[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a boy playing on a girls U13 team this past weekend.  I've seen several girls playing on boys teams but I've seen a boy play on a girl's team.  It was super obvious and known to the coaches and referees but the game was played as usual.  Now I guess it is possible that this boy was transitioning or something like that.  Maybe he identified as female.  He had a name that can be boy or girl. Any team managers or coaches out there know the rules for this or had this happen to their team or on their team?  I'm curious as to how it's decided at what stage you can play or whatever or how it works.  Just curious Thanks in advance.[/quote]

Similar experience in a different age group. Player was good, but not above the level of the other players on the field. I believe the current rules are to provide some/any documentation (doctor’s note, letter from school) regarding the gender identity and they are good to go. I saw a player in girls basketball a few weeks ago that was absolutely dominant. The game was over by halftime, and the coach had not started the player. They played a few minutes in the second half, but the team was running plays for other players. You could tell the coach was trying to balance not running my DD’s team out of the gym by 50 and getting the kid enough minutes and opportunities to keep the player’s very tightly wound Father at bay.[/quote]

I’ve seen it in lax, boy transitioning to girl. [/quote]
