For those of you who coach HS girls. . .

Well defined muscles (read BIG) are greatly influence by testosterone and related steroids. Girls can weignt train all they, or the coaches, want, and they will not show the muscle definition of boys.

As to your question, the two HS programs in the DC metro area that I know most about have weight training regimens for their girls teams.

Defined muscles does not mean big. It means you can tell the difference between this muscle and that. I have defined muscles and I have never done any form of steroids (or even nutritional supplements).

I lifted weights for University ball - none for high school ball (my high school wasn't too competitive though).
