This is a very good point. As a reader, I think those ‘silly young boy’ conversations would probably get old for me faster than the girl ones.
Unless I’m misunderstanding you, there is a good way for sports stories to be about main characters—you have the main characters be a part of the teams being discussed, say with school sports. That wouldn’t work in this fic, of course, but it is possible in general.
