[quote=Anonymous]VYSA is trying to recruit more females too. They are even offering special all-women courses. I don't think directors are being lazy, I think the person who posted before about women being mothers plays a big role. I know a number of women who played at high collegiate levels and who happily coached their daughters and sons in rec but would rather not become travel coaches. Looking at our club, the only under-represented group besides women that stands out is Asian coaches (and I guess Native Americans, but the DMV is not really an area with a high population). White men? check. Black men? check. Hispanic men? check. Middle Eastern men? check. Women? a few, but not very many. The high schools don't seem to be any better at finding women to coach, and neither does ODP.
Another interesting question is, where are the females in leadership (I don't mean the administrators) in any of the leagues? DOCs, Technical Directors? LB at LMVS is the only one I can think of at a top position. I am not sure what LW's involvement at McLean is anymore. Maybe she is another one in a leadership role. Until we build up female coaches we won't see clubs with women in leadership positions, which could be interesting.[/quote]
