[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you have to look at sports across the board. Having had two girls in middle school and high school sports, I can tell you that it's a combination of these things. Many kids (boys included) realize they can't manage school and multiple sports so they start to specialize in one thus dropping the others sports. Two, the clubs have to use their field space and coaches to make way for younger teams so they usually drop some of the lower teams. And this is when ECNL/GA start so you don't see those top teams in NCSL. I can tell you that the numbers decrease every year starting in about 8th grade for all of these reasons and girls still do move around to different clubs. But yes, the competition is much higher as the girls left in high school are the ones that are committed.[/quote]
