Why do we lose so many girls?

All sports have an issue with girls dropping off from the age of 14 or so. Basketball does seem to keep them a little longer than many sports. Change of age group seems to be a classic time for kids to drop out, if they are going to. Have seen quite a few girls in div 3 and below fall away because of lack of commitment to them by the clubs (ie less experienced coaches, sometimes no coach, least desirable training times/venues etc). If you are going to spend close to $1,000 per year on your sport, its nice to feel that you matter to the club concerned. On the money issue, that could be part of it - that money buys a lot of petrol and gym or dance classes!
