Two of my friends decided to push this issue when we were in HS. NV did not have boys volleyball at the time, so they went out for the girls team. They attended all of the preseason tryouts and were clearly good enough to play. The coach even said so and stated this during the hearing before the state office.
They lost that battle with the state office and decided not to go to court.

NV now has boys volleyball in Las Vegas, but not in the rest of the state.

I am in Winnipeg. The ruling from an independent arbitrator was to apply only to this situation of High School Boys Hockey. Although she stated this in her ruling Manitoba High School Athletic Association has received several calls from boys wanting to try out for girls teams. IMO, I believe this ruling was one for feminism and it was not one against discrimination. When you see all the facts and reasons for denying the Pasternaks tryouts, it is obvious the school was trying to protect them (from injury and/or humiliation) and their girls program.

Update ... The 2 girls were cut from the boys try-outs. They state they will not play for the schools girls team.
