They have a rec league.
And the districts are out of compliant with Title IX. They can either become complaint by adding girls sports or taking away boys sports. It’s up to them.

There is interest in some areas... but not all.. Just like other 'club' sports.

Then maybe it should remain a club sport until it shows more widespread support.
