Aitro is calling for the rules of the Southern Highlands Softball Association's senior competition to be changed to allow mixed teams to play.

He said the comp would still predominately be made up of female players with no more than three males in each team.

The five-time premiership winning coach said something needs to be done to arrest the decline in player numbers.

"We've got to do something to improve the association and this is one way to do it," Aitro said.

"It would improve the standard of some teams by a couple of hundred per cent and I think it's the way to go."

Aitro still needs to finetune the idea, but under the changes the male players wouldn't be allowed to pitch or slide into bases.

Former association president and committee member Kylie Wyeth has mixed views on the idea, saying males even as young as 16 are a lot stronger than women.

"On one hand I am for it but on the other hand I am against it because of safety concerns," she said.

"I'd like to see a mixed comp, but I don't want to see the ladies comp abolished I'd like to see it stay the way it is."

Aitro admitted the strength issue was a big factor, but he said it takes more than just muscle to be a good ball player.

"Strength has nothing to do with being a good player," he said.

This is evident in the domination the Hornets have had over the competition in recent seasons, most notably this season with the team scoring more than 20 runs in most of their matches.

Aitro is so confident in his players' ability that he can see no place for any males in the team.

"We don't need any men, we're good enough already. Where would I fit them in my team anyway?" he said.

A decision won't be made on the proposal until the end of the season with Aitro putting together a written proposal, outlining the pros and cons of the idea, as well as seeking out rival players for their opinions.
