Ugh. If there’s not demand or interest, let it go.

There is interest though.

Decent is generous. They also haven't shown sustained interest like every other

I don’t think it’s that generous

2 teams? Like, they had 30 and split them so they could have more teams or they

I drove by my local middle school late spring. I saw a bunch of teams playing

You might want to make sure of that. IDK either but you may be surprised. Seems a lot like soccer programs in the 90's.

Girls soccer in the 90s was pretty big. Tons of clubs and HS teams

I'm old so go with 80's. There were no HS soccer teams in my state in 80's, just club.

Look, I was interested in a fly fishing league in HS. It never happened

That’s not how Title IX works lol
violetjazz

True. Most people don't know how Title IX works

I read in another article summary judgment already decided a and b.
violetjazz
10/27/20 12:59pm
I know. That's the point. Title IX also doesn't mean girls should have football
SlantRoute
10/27/20 1:26pm
so then why do they need a high school league if they already have a good one?
COACHdrn
10/30/20 11:18am
Maybe any lack of interest is due to the historic unavailability of football for

And that's exactly what needs to happen. Let it grow naturally & if/when there's enough sustained interest, sanction it.
Soupie

Sports don't simply "grow naturally."
Tortillero
10/27/20 2:53pm
That's exactly what it means. The small numbers grow over time seeing others do it. It starts as a rec league, then comp

10/27/20 3:01pm
And yet, that's precisely what Title IX did: it forced universities to sanction
Tortillero

Then go do it. If you're waiting for someone else to organize a program, you're not helping.

Nah, just let the courts take the resources from the boys and give them to the

How about equal resources to both?
violetjazz
10/27/20 3:26pm
Like I mentioned below, they have cheerleading, drill, volleyball etc
palangi
10/27/20 3:31pm
Drill and Volleyball are already sanctioned.
violetjazz
10/27/20 3:37pm
They do have equal opportunities but you can't force enough girls at enough schools to justify football. If there's
Soupie
10/27/20 3:58pm
I’d agree if the UHSAA had a set of rules they followed.
violetjazz
10/27/20 4:03pm
Title IX doesn't mean offering the same sport to both genders.

^^^THIS. Can't go from 0-100 overnight.
SlantRoute
10/27/20 3:39pm
So start with girls flag football leagues that don't require school districts
SlantRoute
10/27/20 3:38pm
Meh girls have cheerleading, drill, volleyball, things that draw more interest
palangi
10/27/20 9:25am
If only they could get a league then they could be a hit like the WNBA
travelcoug
10/30/20 11:53am
I don't understand the pushback. I assume each school has requirements for boys
DesertBlues
10/27/20 10:53am
I think the requirement is 25 players to officially have a team.

Why can't she just play with the boys? If the talent is there it's there? Why

No one cares or wants female football.

I mean, that's pretty obviously not true per the article. Whether that demand is high enough to justify a league

Only thing that even got a bit of notoriety was the LFL lol

I remember when girls soccer wasn't sanctioned by the UHSAA. Then they followed the rules, and built ground up.

The only reason football exists is because of tradition

Boys HS volleyball is likely being added in the next few years. There was a poll

Yes. Boys Vball is much further along in the process too.

It helps when you only need around 10 players for a team

I heard there was a vote scheduled to sanction it, but Covid shut it down

Girls lacrosse already is I believe.

Don't cheer and drill team count as girls sports? What about Dance?
Captain Stubing
10/27/20 1:23pm
Cheer isn’t a sanctioned sport nor is dance I think.
violetjazz

She's making money off this, too. I've seen some endorsement deals.
