Be prepared to submit proof of grade/eligibility with a school record or report card.

Can we enter a co-ed team with only one member of the opposite sex?Yes. Keep in mind, however, that co-ed teams must have members of the opposite sex on the court at all times.

If this female would become injured or otherwise unable to play, then the entire team would be disqualified.
