Poor Emma Royko. She's an athletic little girl with two older brothers and lots of experience playing on teams with boys. But the Naperville Sun reports some coaches or team volunteers have told her she can't play, that she can only play on teams with girls.
League officials say there is no policy preventing girls from trying out for and playing on boys' teams. Let's hope this message comes across loud and clear to everyone involved with youth sports. Emma is so frustrated at being told she can't play on her team of choice that she's said she just doesn't want to play. What good can possibly come of that?
Stay with it, Emma! You GO girl...
Why that purty little philly would look just fine in a cheerleaders outfit.
