The school Football teams are vanishing ...
My daughter was one of six cheer teams in her elementary ( and there were several different elementaries, so times that number - say like 12 teams in her grade district-wide) now at middle school, where all the elementary schools feed, down to one team.
She moved up a year to cheer, cuz they are short on girls.
Dying sport in the younger grades
‘Dying sport in the younger grades’
all sports at the lower grades are dying, due to decline in student body...football bears the brunt of the decline due to its high cost and the emerging mindset that schools should not field teams that both boys and girls cannot play...
ten years from now, look for smaller parochial schools to be the only teams playing football at a high level...
