![]() Powder puff is the time when mostly everybody in the school gets pumped up and rallies together to support their grade, and it’s unjust to those girls who play a sport during powder puff that they don’t get to experience the thrill of the game and the screaming fans. ![]() Girls can only experience powder puff in high school, and if they miss that opportunity, they won’t ever get the chance to see what it feels like when boys are the cheerleaders and girls are the football stars. Not being able to compete in powder puff wasn’t fun because I would have people come up to me, asking, ‘“Why aren’t you playing?”, or saying, “You should be out there kicking butt”, but I couldn’t, and it sucked. It’s just disappointing because it was something I was really looking forward to doing in high school since I watched three of my sisters partake in powder puff all four years they were here at MHS. The coaches didn’t want to run the risk of their players getting injured, which is understandable. The previous year our freshman volleyball coach also told us the same thing. When Coach Block first told our volleyball team we weren’t allowed to play, I wasn’t shocked. “They are using different muscles than they have been used to and involved in a different activity that could higher their chances of getting hurt.” “We never want to lose a player because of an injury, especially when it is involved in another sport outside of ours,” said Girls Sophomore Volleyball Coach Julie Block. “If they get hurt, they are out for the season, and it’s their problem because they chose to play but should be able to if they want to,” said Carstens.įrom a coach’s perspective, they don’t allow their athletes to participate because of injuries that may occur during a powder puff game, resulting in a player not being able to play in that certain sport’s season anymore. Although that is an understandable reason, athletes should decide for themselves if they want to take the chance of getting injured. “They should have a choice if they want to play or not,” said Junior Dominic Carstens.Ĭoaches typically tell their athletes they can’t participate because they don’t want them to get hurt. Girls in certain fall sports are not authorized to play in powder puff because their coaches don’t allow them to.īut many students, including guys, think the girls should decide their involvement, not the coaches. ![]() However, not all girls are allowed to participate in this activity. This intense game of flag football for girls is played freshmen versus sophomores and juniors versus seniors during homecoming week.
