The Disappearing Court: Fewer Girls Playing Basketball in Nebraska.
Reading
A big high school in Nebraska had to cancel its girls basketball team. This is because not enough girls signed up to play.
This is happening all over the country, even though women's basketball is getting more popular. People are watching more women's basketball on TV, but fewer girls are playing it themselves.
One reason for this is that girls have many other activities to choose from. Some girls choose to focus on other sports, like volleyball, which is very popular in Nebraska.
Also, club sports require a lot of time and money, which can be difficult for some families. This means that some girls might fall behind in basketball skills if they can't afford to play club.
Some people hope that the popularity of WNBA stars like Caitlin Clark will encourage more girls to play basketball. However, it remains to be seen if this will be enough to overcome the other challenges facing girls basketball.
