Let me throw this into the mix. Years ago, I negotiated an new insurance policy for our local rec league. It was part of some "national" policy for rec leagues so we saved a ton of money. I was told that one of the conditions was that there could be no co-ed teams. When this story came out, I checked with our agent and he said that was still the case. In fact, one of our rules is that if a team has fewer than 5 players to start a game, they can "recruit" another player in the gym who is registered with the program, plays at the same grade level and is of the same gender. This is for insurance purposes.
Apparently, The Hoop carries their own insurance policy since they previously let her play on a boys team, but I wonder if this is a factor for other facilities. Also, I know a lot of other rec leagues around here in other sports have co-ed teams at low grade levels. We never have done that, and no one has ever questioned us about it.
