Currently Wyoming is the only state in the United States that does not have school sanctioned Softball for girls at the High School level.
Title IX, which was put in place back in 1972 to ensure that female athletes have an equal opportunity to participate in sports as boys do. The biggest aspect of Title IX is that states have to offer the same amount of events to boys and girls, but also offer the sports that draw the most interest and participation.

The hope of the team is to get the school district, not only here but around the state to sanction softball for high school aged girls.
The meeting is set for 6 p.m. tonight at the Sweetwater County School District #1 Central Administration Building located at 3550 Foothill Blvd. in Rock Springs.
