A prominent group that we haven't included and might be asked about is NYC Footy, these are co-ed games, sometimes even advertised as flip leagues, where the majority of the team is women (e.g. 3 men, 4 women). Here is a reflection on these games:
Pros
Coverage
Games are widespread across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, ensuring local accessibility.
Organization
The leagues are well-managed with established structures.
Refs
Referees are provided for every game.
Cons
(personal experience – perspectives may vary)
High skill floor
Even in lower-level leagues, a significant level of pace and strength is often required to play against men
.
Competitive co-ed dynamic
In competitive games with men who prioritize winning, playing time can be limited for those who can't match their intensity.
Level mismatch
Lower-level leagues don't consistently cater to women at that level. Men playing down often create uneven matchups.
