What is the composition of boys / girls?
A fairly equal balance of males and females. Depending on the season, some programs may have 5 to 6 more of one gender than the other. No program will have only 4 or 5 of one gender. When the numbers get high for one gender, we close enrollment until the other catches up. If there is a greater imbalance it’s because of an unforeseen event such as 2 boys dropping at the last minute, for example.
Our programs receive a fairly equal balance of males and females and we oftentimes have sites that are exactly a 50/50 mix. Once either gender has 15 participants (for a program of 25), we close enrollment so that there is no more than a 5 or 6 person gender-difference. If there is a greater imbalance it’s because of an unforeseen event such as 2 boys dropping at the last minute, for example.
