Well said -- I couldn't agree more with this.

Aren't there boys -- maybe those whose strengths involve writing grants -- who would also love a chance to be on the drive team who never had the opportunity? I just think that a "try out new role" type of event would achieve the same goal, but be far less exclusive.
