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.
