[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes MCPS, unfortunately, doesnt really care about athletics -- it wants rainbows and unicorns instead.   A competitive sports program is hard to maintain, complaining parents (for all sorts of reasons), finding /keeping great coaches, as well as the facilities issues, etc.   ADs would strongly prefer less complaints than more competitive teams for job security reasons.  As a result, more competitive sports are drifting to private schools which are willing to make the investment as a differentiator.  School spirit and pride suffers, IMO.    [/quote]

I think one of the big issues is the decline of youth sports here in the county.  When I was growing up in the 90s every town had a thriving youth sports organization.  Over the years they started folding and now it seems like most of the youth sports options are gone.[/quote]

This is an interesting observation.  I don't have an historical perspective on it, but it seems like youth soccer and lacrosse are huge.[/quote]

MVSA pretty much completely vanished except for their volleyball program.  Pretty sure GSA has pretty much vanished as well.  [/quote]
