Why not simply merge baseball and softball? The distinction never really made any sense to me. It just seemed to be based on gender.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

tbh i'd rather skip the gender distinctions here altogether, and go with a list of sports that must be available to students of all genders

Considering that we are the Northeast, an amendment for ice hockey could potentially be a good idea.

Modified to remove genders, added Ice Hockey and moved certain sports with similar rules together.

Softball differs from Baseball - due to larger ball and smaller pitch; it was invented to be an indoor game.

[DemPGH]

Yes, fully support the proposal in spirit and in writing.

I also may draft something on physical education if I get a chance (or may add something to amendments 1). The body and the mind are equally important, IMO. Properly executed phys. ed. should be a core part of education and should be as individualized as possible.   

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

i think we're ready for a final vote here as well.
