Not only did it exclude girls from playing altogether (where is the logic in such a sexist outcome???), it defeated the purpose of the Coptic league: to come together as brothers and sisters in sport.

Some churches are ONLY able to form co-ed teams and by preventing that there are plenty of men and women that will not be able to partcipate.

Let everyone play.

We can't find a female coach and we already have a great male coach.

It was a real bummer too because we were really looking forward to playing in the league this year.

This will alienate the girls from being a part of a fun sport. They are needed in Coed teams. Unless there was a real legitimate concerning issue, I don't think this needs to be changed at this time. Seems a bit last minute to the girls to get a large group to sustain their own league.

More importantly, it was made without any research. There were no tallies done of the number of girls on each team, or even playing in each game. Moreover, as a member of the Orange Flames, one of the teams that had the most girls, last season, we had a total of nine women on our team, three of whom couldn't play any games. On any given game day, the most girls we had at a game was four.

This wasn't enough as it was. Many times, we played with less than six players in total, including men.

I understand that the intent of this change would be to allow the women to play more, but the result has been that now the women will not play at all this season.

I feel that a more efficacious approach would be to require that each team have at least two women on their roster, as they are able to, and that, as long as available, at least one must be in the game at any time. (I know this will benefit the Flames, as the women on our team are more consistent that I am either way).

God Bless.

Ok so far makes sense. Then those girls who still wants to play wants to play with the guys, and that's not allowed. That's an unfair decision. The Coptic league is about unity with many. Let the girls play. To be honest there are a lot of really good girl volleyball players who wants to play. Do the right thing, and let the girls play. The more participants, the better.

We've been playing together for years now, and the girls have served as much of a purpose to the team as the guys have. It's extremely unfortunate that we girls can no longer play together, let alone AT ALL due to the lack of females in the league. Volleyball is a noncontact sport, and through the years I have played, I have not seen one injured female. I respect all decisions made by Coptic league, but if you would take our concerns into consideration, maybe you would see that the decision is not in the favor of anyone. The coed league has worked out for us since we started, and I hope it continues to stay that way. Thank you for your time and consideration. Much appreciated!

God bless
