What determines if a school can add sports such as volleyball, soccer, or hockey?

You're saying that if enough kids want to play a certain sport, they will consider adding it, AJ?

Honestly, I believe it is the school board's decision. There has been interest in adding Soccer to the athletic program here in Iowa Park and so far the school board has been the ruling entity. By the way, they have voted "NO" several years in a row.

I would say that 99% of it is M-O-N-E-Y.
If they've got the funds and the support to add a sport.., not to mention the appropriate facilities then most schools would add an extra sport. Without funding, that includes coaches salaries, travel costs, equipment for the sport, etc.... then the sport is probably not going to make it.
