Hi BD,
I have just a couple of points which I think might help, well at least they should be taken into consideration. There is quite a simple reason why generally the skill level of the men who compete is higher than that of the women who compete. And please note the word general in the previous line. When men start to learn to play those who become good work harder than women who start at the same time. From my experince you will often find guys who have just started out in the park throwing around away from practice, you will rarley find the women doing the same! Now, I think the way to narrow the skill gap is encourage women to put as much effort in, I know that the culture surrounding sport is quite different for men and women, but if everyone is to compete at the same level, then everyone has to put in the same effort! Those who are now envolved in student ultimate and have a new crop of women to teach should encourage them to take what they've been tought and practice, practice, practice! Then we can see what most of us want. More Co-ed ultimate of the standard which people want to play and watch. Just a few thoughts, Paul Eastman
