I believe you’re 100% correct, it is a lose lose situation

I wrestle and coach our youth girls. I encourage the girls to do girls stuff but I sometimes even wrestle boys at open tournaments still just because there aren’t many girls opportunities in my area. I say let piper feel it out because sometimes you find male opponents with great sportsmanship and other times you have boys that are all about winning. So I’d leave it up to piper and have her watch how some of the boys treat the other girls in their matches and then decide wether or not to forfeit.

My son and daughter wrestle. We let her wrestle the boys and we love it when she beats them. It hurts the boys parents ego more then anything, my son has wrestled girls and he has learned to never underestimate anyone, never judge a book by its cover.

I totally understand you're POV, but as a boy mom, if my boys lose to a girl, he better handle that as if he lost to a boy. Sportsmanship is sportsmanship, regardless of gender, and maybe it'll make my son work harder. If my daughter wrestled, I would be worried about her getting injured, so I really do get it.

It depends if the supervisors are good at there job they will be there to prevent injuries and it’ll be a great opportunity to get better and practice if it’s not a great meet and yall don’t trust the supervisors/referees then maybe stay away from coed

I agree when my boys wrestled a couple years ago they would just stand there when the girls came up. It was awkward for them, think about where boys and the girls are grabbing each other. Plus you have the parents that dont want the girls to wrestle so they’ll tell the boys to really be aggressive with them. It’s overall going to lead to problems, there’s so many things that can happen. I agree every other sport is separate why would you make such an aggressive hands on sports coed?

As a mom of both, once they reach greater than 10u/12u I fully believe they should keep gender separated if possible. Younger divisions tough girls sometimes need to wrestle boys to get good competition. Girls is growing for sure! But opportunities to equal brackets and competition is still not even close.

As a boy wrestler who did it for 14 years I always told myself the day I lose to a girl I’d quit out of embarrassment lol so I always went 110 percent! But I think if she wants to wrestle boys she should have every right too I understand your concerns as the parents though. Go kick some but!

I don’t disagree. There was a time not to long ago wrestling boys wasn’t a choice if your daughter wants to wrestle. Now we have enough girls to wrestle stay in the girls bracket. I think for the younger girls not as big of a deal though. Practice room is a different story.

This makes sense. My daughter just got an injury from a boy because she was up in points and he went crazy mad and it got her hurt. She may have to sit out a few weeks now.

pip is small enough it might be more even matched. but my daughter's club coach only allows boys to practice with girls that are 15lbs lighter because 115lb boys and 115 girls are not the same especially as they get older. I hate that tournaments still do this.

Agree with everything you said. If the only thing available is Coed then I would rather have my daughter wrestle boys than miss out on an opportunity to get to compete. I have three daughters but none of them wrestled.

Schooo for us in co-ed through 8th grade, my son is a lighter weight class and often wrestled girls. Lost some, won some, never wrestled dirty and never worried about it much.

our daughter did co-ed locally through 8th grade. she stopped doing co-ed nationally in 7th grade. it was her choice and for all of the same reasons you stated. once the boys hit 7th/8th grade & their testosterone starts to kick in and its not longer physically safe for the girls.

i think that you shouldn’t forfeit just to save the boys feelings if they feel damaged because of losing to a girl then it’s their own skills issue
