Re: Why girls ARE joining our team...

Of course the X-Cats always had good female representation. We've just begun recruiting for this year but we are very good at getting a diverse group (last year we had 18 girls and 14 boys). One thing that helps is we actually expect the girls to do more on our team than just PR. They do work on the robot and a good portion of the major positions on our team (coach, assistant coach, student liaison, scout master, spirit leader, ect.) were held by young women. I believe if you allow them to try out more things on the team regardless of how "qualified" the appear and don't condescend to them and give into stereotypes they will succeed in what they are doing which is the ultimate goal of this program in the first place.
