Women's Football Not Offered in School

Growing up, there were no women's football teams at my school. Women's soccer, softball, basketball, tennis, track, and lacrosse were all part of the female sports teams. I'm not saying that women couldn't play football, they just didn't have a team or a league for them to play on.

When the neighborhood kids would play football, we had both guys and girls on the teams. We never thought anything of it because it gave us more players. My sister was one of the fastest kids in the neighborhood and she often played a wide receiver because no one could catch her.
