I was wondering why F1 was at home for the play and F2 was backing it up. I don't work co-ed games, and in the few years that I played, our female F2s were up to the task of playing their position as expected.

One of the most tenuous moments in my co-ed experience was when a male from the opposite team went in standing up and knocked our female F2 backwards, hitting her head against the ground in the process. Needless to say, we had both the EMTs and the military police show up to our ball field.
