To say that women can't compete because of their (lack of) physical attributes is ridiculous. The top three teams in the country this year all had 'small' men playing for them (Aram, Kenny, Beege). All of whom I wouldn't like to mark, cos they can change direction a lot quicker than me. Similarly I'm sure none of them would want to mark me if I was sprinting long. Ultimate is not played by 6 foot plus olympic sprinters, it is played by a wide variety of shapes and sizes. If anyone, man or woman, wants to make it to the top of the game, they can, and do. If Rebecca wants to encourage female players, then instead of trying to dump the responsibility on student teams (who have a hard enough time as it is of getting respect with in the game as it is), why didn't she stand for the board of directors and push for it at a national level. If you want something doing well, do it yourself. If you aren't playing enough, with the right mix, in the right place, organise a tournament yourelf, make up the rules and ENJOY.
