Title IX is the program which permits women’s sports at all public levels. With it are scholarships which permit many young women the opportunity to attend universities as college-athletes. The women compete in their own categories for championships and records. Examples of women’s sports include softball, field hockey, gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, track, golf, etc.
We have separate categories for men’s and women’s sports for several reasons. First, as a rule, women do not play contact sports, such as football and baseball. Second, women’s records fall far short of men’s, meaning they cannot play on a “level field.” Biologically, after about age 14, boys are bigger, faster, stronger and jump higher than girls. At younger ages, boys and girls can compete together in sports like soccer because there is no gender advantage. At age 14, when the testosterone kicks in, boys zoom past girls in athletic ability. It's the way nature intended.
