Do you think there are weight classes in football?
We definitely did not put them up with varsity or anything unless they specifically asked for it. The kicker and linewoman would take their hits and move on.
I genuinely had respect for both of them. Hell I tried teaching the linewoman everything I knew to help her, but even after 3 years she still couldn’t make varsity even though the drive and want was there.
So I guess yeah, they did keep her in her weight class by keeping her on JV all through my time there. Everybody wanted her to succeed, just there was a natural difference between what she and us guys could do.
We never intentionally tried to make her feel differently, but nobody ever had to point out there was a massive difference.
Most of my original point was that there should be weight classes. I’m well aware there aren’t currently. Perhaps I didn’t make that point clearly enough.
Thank you for doing your part to try to make them feel welcome and trying to help them succeed.
