Saw in the KC Star the other day that KCCC is starting a girl's soccer program. Do not understand that decision. Girls high school soccer in KC, KS is almost nonexistant. A girl's program at JCCC would be understandable--Johnson County a hotbed of girls club and high school soccer.

I had talked a couple of times to the KCCC AD (at the Metro Classic) on why not add a wrestling program at KCCC. Always got the reply "thinking on it, but it costs a lot of money to add a new sport". Title 9 probably figured in it also. I always thought CC programs were supposed to geared to help the local area. Really can't see many girls from KC, KS playing soccer at KCCC. In fact, will either see girls from Johnson Copunty or from out of state. After all, CC coaches have to recruit from athletes from far away places to bring status to their programs. My son played soccer at KCCC 10 years ago and half the team was Brits or Irish--the coach was Irish.
