BTW

This technique isn't unique to girls; it is the standard baseball bent leg slide. See any baseball coaching manual: head back, hands up, initial contact points are calf, thigh, and buttocks.

Now I don't see any HS boys or adult men SP players wearing sliding pads. But I do see a lot of ugly raspberries on those exposed calf's and thighs. (OH,that testosterone driven male ego!) However, at the local sporting goods stores I see both mens and womens sliding shorts on sale.
