I've always felt the easiest team sport for a female athlete, with "above average" (I didn't say "great") athleticism, to get an athletic scholarship to a D1 school is field hockey.

Chico, if you could pull the facts I'd love to see them. Looking for the number of HS girls playing field hockey in the US and the number of Division 1 colleges offering the sport.

It is so much easier to get a ride in field hockey than it is in soccer.

Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
