Having 4 grand-daughters I am sad to say, but woman sports are going no where past recreational level. While individual sports like tennis and golf have some success, team sports do not fare well at all. Lets  look at the big sports: football none;  hockey  once every 4 years!;  soccer once every 4 years!, baseball none; about beach ball, only every 4 years for the same reason than tennis (not flattering) ; field hockey,  lacrosse, track and field; softball; volleyball all college level only. Here in CT we are lucky to have a pro  and a college women basketball  but the attendance is not at the level it should be for either team. At the Uconn games last year the marketing and the timing  of many games (Sat & Sun afternoon) help a lot to bring a young crowd and us bringing our grand-daughters.  Of course a lot of the increase was also due to large group having major discount. Never-less,  at least they had the crowd.  I would not encourage our grand-daughters pursuing a future in pro sports.  Play as many sports as you can while in college but get a degree with a lucrative future in mind.
