High School Sports?
#1
i was wondering why do some highschool's in the state of KY, have boy sports that girls dont have? like some high school teams have boys basketball and not girls and girls have basketball and not boys. some high school teams have baseball teams that softball dont have and high school teams have softball that baseball dont have?

I do know that the NKY and Louisville areas have multiple all-boys & all-girls schools.

i.e. Highlands, St. Xavier, DeSales, Lou. Trinity, Covington Catholic, Newport Central Catholic, Mercy, and many more.

Highlands, Newport Catholic are both co-ed. Covington Catholic is the only all male school in NKY.

The reason that some schools don't have sports is due to participation. For example, Dayton did not have a baseball team for three years due to no kids interested in playing. They did have girls softball. This happens at many of the 'A' schools.

This is what I was thinking too. Schools just don't always have enough turn out to make for a team for a particular sport.

I know that the KHSAA has schools complete a Title IX Report each year and audits a % of them every year. Schools are required to prove they are at least attempting to offer equality is sports in number, expenditure, facilities, etc. regardless of the source of revenue. What I'm confused about is....volleyball offsets football, girls bb offsets boys bb...but what sport offsets wrestling and how do schools get by with paying coaches of boys sports more than girls sports? (Ex. volleyball coaches make more than the football coaches)
