In my state, lacrosse is taking off and it is impacting softball. We are also located in an area where soccer is the biggest kids' sport, meaning girls are never taught baseball or softball. We also have the country club set, so tennis is really popular.
While many more schools have softball (schools being built in certain growing areas), the numbers per school are waning since mid-2000s when softball was at a peak. My school is OK, but we have a neighboring school that had to cancel summer camp due to no one registering; one has a large graduating classes of seniors with very few TB players to replace them (simply none live there, this coach is very popular). Other schools are begging girls to play, in the more urban areas nearer the city. One district cannot support JV softball.

I just found this. You can perform searches on softball in your state.
