What season is boys volleyball?

Girls flag football seems like a much better idea.

Two boys-no boys we know have ever played volleyball but I guess its a good opportunity to have another no-cut sport?

There must have been some girls who advocated for wrestling? The school board wouldn’t choose in a vacuum. I am curious about the parity though. Our HS has far more girls sports than boys, and plenty of girls on the well-funded teams (football). I get that may not be the case at most schools though. I’m just curious about the overall funding for boys vs girls sports.

Same. Huge school and only one gym. Looks like a fall sport which will be really challenging with 6 teams having basketball green days and 2 teams of girls Volleyball already needing gym space.

Which public FCPS has plenty of girls on the Football team, and more girls sports than boys?

Chiming in-two boys and none of their friends have ever played volleyball. I'm shocked. What next, pickleball?

Seems like the money would be better spent on 9th grade soccer teams.

Our FCPS has a girls wrestling team already. I guess they weren't "official" but they competed and wrestled just like the boys.

And my younger son plays volleyball now (through St James since not a ton of VB options) so we are thrilled!

I don't don't think you can name a single FCPS high school with plenty of girls playing football

It will come at the expense of community rec leagues

Must be hyper-local with the volleyball. Boys volleyball clubs are going strong in my area and I know several boys who play.

Our public FCPS high school is 2800 kids and zero girls play football OR wrestle.

Agree that flag football would have been better.

There's no gym space for more fall indoor sports. Maybe they should make it a spring sport.
