Numbers Game ...
My local board covers about seventy high schools.
For several years now many of our high schools had problems offering girls freshman and girls junior varsity basketball programs.
Last year one of our high schools dropped their girls varsity basketball program.
One factor, off season specialization in one sport. Girls playing indoor soccer, or taking indoor pitching and/or hitting softball classes, in the winter months.
Outside of the summer camps, we would have never dreamed of playing such off season sports back in my high school years. And, back then, summer camps were often for the best of the best, those with aspirations of playing college sports.
