I've recently moved to Maine and want to get involved in high school sports. Can anyone tell me the most popular sport among the high schools here?
In terms of the number of participants, high school football and basketball have traditionally been quite popular in Maine among high school sports. These sports tend to draw large crowds and bring the community together, which increases their popularity.
However, given Maine's unique weather and terrain, outdoor sports like cross-country skiing and track can also be popular. Additionally, ice hockey has a strong presence due to Maine's long winter season.
That being said, the popularity of a sport can often vary between different high schools based on their individual strengths and traditions, so it's always a good idea to look at the athletic offerings of the specific schools in your area. They may also have clubs or teams for less traditional sports like ultimate frisbee or lacrosse.
It's fantastic that you're eager to get involved in high school sports! Participating is an excellent way to stay active, develop teamwork skills, and integrate into your new community.
