Not extensively, but a bit. The level of physical demand is much much lower at that point. It is still easily conceivable for someone to push the extra mile to get better than someone else and make a spot on the team. It is competitive, but not a super cut throat situation. The differences between the sexes is rather small on the whole so it wouldn't be as big a factor when dealing with a limited enough pool of people. It would only really become an issue if you can pick and choose an entire team consisting of the top of the top athletes for the sport. |
I have watched high school sports rather extensively, and I played football and also wrestled. The differences between the genders may not be as pronounced as in the pro leagues, but it is still pronounced. Granted, you would have the occasional female standout similar to Britney Griner or Candace Parker make a boy's team, but the vast majority of female athletes would not.
