Wanted: Girls

For some weird reason, it is always hard to find girls to play ultimate. You have no problem finding guys. There are tons of guys out there who want to play. If you are a guy and you want to get a team, good luck. But for girls, it is always hard to find and hard to keep. I don't understand why. My team welcomes any girls playing and try to have as many girls as we can on the team, we don't have enough girls tonight. Last year was like that too. There were weeks tons of people would show up and there were weeks that we barely just had enough girls to spot a team. Last night our captain sent out email that we were low on guys and asked people to bring friends. A bunch of the guys are away these two weeks. And then boom, we have tons of guys tonight. But a lot of girls decided to not come tonight. They told my captain last minute. So it was hard for us to find subs this late. A girls said she would come and didn't' show up at all. We almost don't have enough people. Or have to put the sick captain on the field. It is almost annoying to organize a team. How hard it is to tell your teammate ahead that you can't come! Then at least we can find people to replace you. I know people could be busy at work or last minutes something comes up. I would hate to be on my captain's shoes.
