HS girls volleyball team forfeits playoff game over 'male athlete' playing for opponent, cites 'God's Word'

On Friday, Stone Ridge Christian officials said in a statement it will not play against San Francisco Waldorf.

"As many of you know, our girls won on Wednesday and advanced to the state playoffs," the school said, via Max Preps. "Unfortunately, we were just informed that our opponent, San Francisco Waldorf, has a male athlete playing for their team.

"This is heartbreaking end to our season, but I hope you will join me in congratulating these outstanding student-athletes. SRC is proud of them."

The CIF enacted "gender identity participation" rules in 2013.

"All students should have the opportunity to participate in CIF athletics and/or activities in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity," the policy stated.
