Same with most sports activities….individuals who don’t have any idea of bodily tradition, understanding of the DRASTIC distinction between women and men concerning energy and energy manufacturing within the second of efficiency or who simply by no means elevate weights or play sports activities don’t perceive this and possibly by no means will.  Maybe they simply ignore actuality interval. I have no idea, I choose to err on the facet that folks considering there isn’t a distinction in probabilities of accidents when males play in opposition to girls are simply bookish nerds with zero expertise with sports activities, full contact actions, or any actual makes an attempt at coaching their bodily potential.

Volleyball is definitely the game I’ve probably the most private expertise with. I performed volleyball recreationally in undergrad, and was in the summertime volleyball league at Fermilab throughout grad college. That’s not the identical as high aggressive play, however it’s one thing I perceive. The league I performed in was blended gender, and certainly, blended gender volleyball is usually performed within the U.S. and elsewhere. I simply watched some right here to refresh:

Men are typically bigger and stronger than girls, however there may be nonetheless an extended historical past of aggressive mixed-gender sports activities – like blended doubles tennis and mixed-team volleyball. These have been round for a lot of many years.

In coed volleyball, there are guidelines for equity and for security – however it’s nonetheless true that ladies are sometimes hitting again a ball that has been hit by males. According your security argument, coed volleyball ought to have an unacceptable degree of damage such that it’s banned, no matter any transgender points. I do not see any motion for such, although. I see a number of such tournaments being held with no controversy.

I am unable to discover from fast search any concussion charges for coed in comparison with single-gender volleyball. I’m not claiming that I do know the speed is identical. But I additionally do not assume will probably be off the charts as you declare.

Hey intellectually dishonest shitbag groomer, this incident the place the feminine participant was injured WAS NOT A COED VOLLEYBALL GAME. It was a sport the place a organic male was declared a feminine due to bullshit transgender politics. Go discover elsewhere to inform your lies.

  There are co ed beer pong groups and darts competitions too for sofa potatoes to get some train.  Bringing a rec league up in an try to make a comparability tells me you’re as clueless as I stated you’re.    You even undermine your personal level by saying there are particular guidelines when blended….

There are totally different guidelines in event coed video games. However, the accident proven in your unique put up may legally have occurred in an ordinary event coed sport, with a male participant spiking the ball which strikes a feminine participant midway again within the court docket. There is a variant known as “reverse coed” the place males gamers cannot be up on the web to spike, however that’s much less frequent. In my put up, I gave a hyperlink which reveals event play (not rec league) the place precisely these performs occur.

Hi, jeff37923. Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I used to be not claiming that the sport within the unique put up was coed.

My level is that coed volleyball video games are frequent, and generally (although not at all times) have the state of affairs the place a male participant can spike the ball that’s acquired by a feminine participant. This is related in estimating the dangers concerned in video games.

Jhkim is making excellent sense.  If boys enjoying in opposition to women in volleyball do not usually injure them, there is not any motive for somebody to anticipate that letting this boy play in opposition to women was placing them in any hazard.  It may effectively have been an entire fluke, the ball hit at simply the worst doable spot, and never an inevitable factor.  It’s volleyball, not boxing; getting smashed within the face by your opponent isn’t an anticipated consequence of enjoying.

That stated, the workforce with the ladies ought to have had the choice to say no to play in opposition to a boy in the event that they felt uncomfortable or in danger from it.  I’ve no objection to women competing in opposition to boys, so long as they go in knowledgeable.  Girl desires to play baseball?  Sure.  Football?  Great.  If she will take the hits, extra energy to her.  Same for boys going into women video games, as long as everybody agrees beforehand.  But they need to have the precise to not agree.
