[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was Lewis unable to field a girls varsity softball team this year? It appears that may have been the case, but not 100% sure. If so, that's a shame. This isn't an expensive sport to play. [/quote] Are you kidding me? Softball is pretty expensive. Quality bats are $400. Helmets another $50. Cleats, gloves another $200 or so. The bigger issue is demographics. Softball is primarily played by upper middle class white girls. It's unfortunate and the sport tries to diversify, but what do the school's demographics look like?[/quote] Sure, you can spend lots of money if you want to. But all the basics would have been readily supplied by FCPS. Part of what FCPS needs to do is acclimate students from different backgrounds to American culture and activities. Not sure they are succeeding at Lewis. [/quote]
