It might not be as dire as some of you are painting it out to be. If you look at the vital statistics records for births in the United States, there is a pretty significant drop off in births starting in 2007 and continuing to 2018. Maybe there just aren't as many little girls to play softball. While our area still has strong youth sports programs, overall numbers are down in both boys an girls sports including soccer, basketball, volleyball and track. The drop off in number of teams or players may be due to the fact that there are just simply fewer people to play the game.
That’s something I’ve never look into before. I’m sure this would effect the numbers big time.
