>>[coldhardtruth] Chico, you do not believe that costs plays a role in the lack of diversity?<<
I think it's tertiary at best. In my experience with an upstate club that gives a lot of money for financial aid, the recreation fees aren't what keep most kids away. A lack of interest/exposure would be the primary reason and a secondary reason would be family support [e.g., the logistics of taking to practice and to games.]
