cbg Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Do the Tennessee high schools have to allow men to participate on the girls team in vollyball due to the fact that the TSSAA does not offer a mens program? If they don't would that not be reverse discrimination because the mens football and wrestling programs have to allow women the opportunity to participate?

It is listed as "Girls' Volleyball", as opposed to just "Football", not "Boys' Football". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatLineJudge Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I also add that the rules provide specific net heights for the girls' game of volleyball and the boys' game of volleyball. There is no height mentioned for a co-ed game. Thus, NFHS regulations de facto ban the co-ed game in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true I know The Coach's very well due to my Job I could not help them out with the Coaching position, but if you do know any guys in High School that would be interested just let me know and I can put them in contact with Coach Toomey(women's coach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that is a TITLE 9 thingy. You can look it up on the net. I basiclly understand it that you have to have a equall number of men and women sports, so to compensate for football, there is usually a volleyball or field hockey (womens) team. If there is not parity, women are allowed to participate in the other program. Or something like that. I am probably just making it up as I type.
