[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To waste money and precious gym space on [b]a sport boys are not interested in playing [/b]when there is huge demand for access to HS team sports seems incredibly foolish.

In the 2022–2023 school year, 77,287 students participated in high school boys volleyball, which is a 16.24% increase from the previous year. This makes it the fastest growing team sport for high school boys in the United States, with a 22% growth rate over the past five years. In comparison, football has seen a 9% decrease in participation over the same period. [/quote]

With a base number that low, it's hard to not be fast growing. For comparison, 7.8 million boys played high school football in the 22-23 school year. [/quote]

Volleyball teams have 6-9 players. Football teams, 30-60. Volleyball is catching on for boys; HS football has been around since the 1880s.

7.8 million vs. 77k. If you want to serve more boys, add additional basketball teams - 500k play at the high school level, many more would if they didn't get cut [/quote]

Who said the goal was serving more boys? And what does adding basketball teams have to do with the fact that boys volleyball is a growing sport?

[b]Some boys prefer to play volleyball.[/b][/quote]

judging by the numbers, not many [/quote]
