ABSTRACT:
Within the last ten years participation in recreational coed sports, especially volleyball and softball, has burgeoned. In softball, amateur coed leagues now thrive in almost every state. Some teams play for recreation only, while others advance to state and national tournaments by qualifying through playoffs. The present study focuses on the levels of participation, meanings attached to the game by the players, and particularly the male and female interpretations of the game by the participants. The data were collected by interviews of 45 male and female players during two summer softball seasons. The findings provide an indepth account of the mutual expectations of male and female players during the game, the intimidation of females by males, the roles played by each gender, and the overall structure of the coed game in contrast with same-sex softball.
