I browse this category (other sports) pretty often, and this is the first time I remember hearing girls softball mentioned. Popularity does have a lot to do with it. There are other sports like boxing which aren't listed either.\n\nHowever, the Yahoo! Answers team is always open to suggestions for new categories. You can send your suggestion either through the "Tell us what you think" link at the bottom of the page or in the forum (link in upper right corner).

If she was scouted by this team they know where she usually plays.  Usually when teams scout they look at everything, and it is possible, that they saw something to make them think she would be a good outfielder.\n\nIt is also good to play different postions, my son who is 12 has played 1st base and pitched, but when he gets the oppertunity to play somewhere else he enjoys it

I have no idea, but I was upset about that. They should have all sports, olympic or not. I think it is being biased because they dont have a lot of woman's sports. For example they don't have gymnastics or cheerleading. And how can they have horse racing, darts, handball and martial arts but no softball???

I like fastpitch softball because it's a game for 'real men' and women too.\n\nI like slowpitch softball because it's a game for 'real men' and women too.

A classic myth is that softball is full of lesbians - an idea that emerged from one of the great pillars of intelligence, the U.S. Army, which historically conducted its witchhunts for lesbians by heading for the softball games. \nIt is true that lesbians play softball, even lots of lesbians; but many straight women play softball too. In total softball gear, it is hard to tell who is this, that, or the other thing: They all look like softball players.

www.pony.org has softball rules that are used in Pony leagues.  I am sure that little league softball has a website somewhere too, I just don't know it!

Because guys are obsessed w/ sports????\n\nAs a girl, there's nothing stopping you from playing.  In fact, you have an advantage.  Everyone's expectations of a girl's fantasy managerial skills might be pretty low.  If you do badly, no harm done & you regroup to try again next year.  If you kick some tail, you turned some heads & get some well deserved respect.  Nothing to lose.... not being chauvinistic, just giving a highly generalized opinion.

If there is no girls team, then they should be able to go on the boys team. That wouldn't be fair if there was just a boys basketball team.\n\nMost schools have boys and girls basketball, baseball (boys and softball (girls), and volleyball is typically a girls sport in school, but boys should be able to play it too.\n\nLacrosse is separated, as well as other sports. And I know that they never let men join our gymnastics team ,which was so stupid! On our football team, they HAD to let the girls join even if  they were bad. That I thought was dumb, because I would hate to be put on a team without knowing I earned it...\n\nIf there is no girls, they should be able to join the boys, otherwise they need to make a girls and boys team.\n\nPeace!

try going directly to little league, babe ruth/ cal ripen league, pony league. you'll find that most offer girls softball as well as boys baseball and girls are allowed to play boys baseball if they want to. I think the better question is whether boys are allowed to play girls softball. If so I wonder if you could find a boy willing to play in a girls league.

I am not a softball pitcher but a softball coach, I think you will only get as much respect as you command.  If you are a great team leader, you will recieve much respect from your team.  However, if you think you "are the team, they will only resent your cocky attitude and will not respect you as the true leader you can be.  So I guess what you should know is that respect is not deserved but rather earned.  You choose.

I think it depends on the sport.  I personally don't like a female calling my football games.  However, for softball or baseball it makes good sense & I like it.
