Our mixture of sports and academics is a real cultural oddity.

So add girls water polo.. who has a proven 10 year support and demand.

I’m fine if they want to add more than one sport.

Their webpage link for schedule and standings doesnt work

Charles Darwin

10/30/20 12:24pm

So likely not enough interest so they're hoping high schools can bail them out

ManicBlue

10/30/20 12:27pm

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

TheLost

10/30/20 12:35pm

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

ManicBlue

They are 'Rec' teams now.. they haven't even tried making school 'club teams'

I think that the sport should be offered.
