That's a good question. Part of the answer might be that boys have divided interests—baseball, football, hockey, basketball. Girls pretty much have a choice of soccer or basketball (distant second).

Yes, some girls do play those other sports, but girls in general are not particularly attracted to them. For some reason soccer is simpatico with female sensibilities.

I would respectfully disagree......girls fast pitch Softball and volleyball are huge now here in Michigan.

They host tournaments there that bring in over 300 teams and have to use another facility to accommodate all the teams.

A few years ago there was a gal from a local high school who was the number one female player two years in a row here and she went on to play for the Florida Gators and made All American. She's now playing professionally in Europe....
