Girls Can Now Opt Out of Games Against Boys, Dighton-Rehoboth Says, Citing Safety and Fairness

Girls can opt out of playing against boys and vice versa without any penalty, according to a new policy approved by the Dighton-Rehoboth School Committee says.

The new policy comes in the wake of a female Dighton-Rehoboth field hockey player sustaining serious injuries this past fall after getting hit with a ball struck by a male player, as NewBostonPost previously reported.
