There's some sort of laziness plague going on at my school, we had a total of 18 at tryouts (we were always small but dang, that's SMALL). 8 on JV 10 on Varsity. The saddest part is, all the sports are feeling it. Badminton went from 18 to 5, Volleyball had 60 last year at tryouts, now they have 32, JV football went from 40 to 10. Idk what it is with the kids this year but they are not interested in school sports. The season will be interesting for sure
One of our local schools cancelled football because they didnt have enough try out. So that cancelled cheer for football and marching band for football as well.There's some sort of laziness plague going on at my school, we had a total of 18 at tryouts (we were always small but dang, that's SMALL). 8 on JV 10 on Varsity.

We are seeing a trend of towns struggling to field football teams as well. Hubby coaches and his school has less than 30 kids signed up right now (we are a small town to begin with but normally field 40-50). Many other towns are either in the same situation or are either combining their football team with a neighboring town or eliminating the program altogether.One of our local schools cancelled football because they didn't have enough try out.

My school tends to have high interest but we lose kids fast throughout the year. It happened in all sports last year. Lots of kids find that sports are harder than they look and don’t want to look stupid for not being superstars, so they decide to not even try rather than ‘fail’. I’ve seen this trend becoming more and more true over the last few years. If they don’t try they can’t look bad
LMAO at quitting an activity. Once my parents paid, it was a wrap. You were locked in for the season.
I found that out the hard way when I begged her to sign me up for parks and rec softball (in addition to cheer) in 4th grade because "everyone was doing it." I had never played. All I knew was that everyone in my grade was signing up. Spoiler alert: I hate standing outside in any weather over 80 degrees. It was a long 8 weeks but everytime I asked to quit the response was "Not after I paid $75."
