Not that I care much about what happens to a youth basketball team, but Equality before the Law applies to most characteristics except age. Laws apply differently to minors compared to adults.
As for my opinion to the OP: The solution is simple, state and write the rules on team composition. We separate men and women in adult athletics for a reason, biology is sexist.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.

Probably there was, because some adults take nine-year-old sports leagues VERY SERIOUSLY.Probably there was a dispute about allowing them to continue playing like this and it solved not in their favor
Um... follow the rules. Its not the leagues fault they didnt know the rules. So they forfeit the games they played against the rules, no big deal. This isnt the NBA, they are not playing for anything. Next year they can find a Co Ed League if such a thing exists.
Im curious, was one of the girls the coachs daughter? “I was filled with emotion and joy,” is a very strange thing to say.
They stood together. That matters. Silly league does not.
Rules are rules, so funny so many cant deal with rules, they are ok, unless they fail to agree with someone's agenda, then they are minor or should be ignored. sorry, break the rule, like a law, and get caught, pay the piper. so many these days have failed to understand that their are consequences that come with actions, good , bad. and so many lately are unprepared to deal with them, so they take to public to gain ... some sense of justice? no, more like justification for them not following the rules, which so many have and yet, if u allow some groups/people to get away with not following the rules, whats the point?
rule was broken for 10 games, got caught, punishment, end of story. snowflakes need to deal with reality, this is not the matrix.
I like their attitude but that being said rules are rules. It's nice that they stuck together but that's as far as it goes.
