What sports does your school offer?
For girls, not very much. There's a cheer team that often also comprise the gymnastics team, volleyball, tennis, netball, and they just added soccer a couple years ago. Oh, and there's a swim team and a track team that mostly have boys but if a girl wants to join she can. Plus, we have to fundraise or contribute our own fee and uniform costs.
This is in comparison to the boys having football, basketball, soccer, wrestling, hockey and almost double the track and field and swimming options that girls interested in those can sign up for. Plus, their football and basketball teams are largely school-subsidised.
One year, our girls' netball team came second in a regional tournament and won a cash prize to go towards their team, but the school decided to invest it in the boy's football team instead. I don't think those girls ever forgave the principal, but they're all graduated now.
