I see that the girls' program is offering something the boys' program isn't or that the boys' program is offering something the girls' program isn't. What's the deal?
Most likely, this is due to lack of volunteers.
Let's be honest, it takes a lot of wo/manpower to offer all of these basketball opportunities. Every single year, we struggle to fill all of the volunteer spaces. We encourage anyone who is willing to come help. No basketball experience necessary--we can teach you!
