Hi there, I am moving to Colorado next year and want to know what sports are super popular in the high schools over there. I would love to fit right in when I join.
In Colorado, high school sports popularity can vary depending on the region and the school, but there are certainly some that have a strong following throughout the state. Football is a big deal in Colorado, with lots of community support and involvement. This could be a great choice if you're looking to make connections quickly and enjoy a traditional fall sports experience.
In addition to football, basketball also has a significant following in Colorado among high school leagues. Both boys' and girls' teams often see widespread community and student support, with competitive leagues statewide.
If you're into outdoor sports and looking to take advantage of Colorado's unique topography, consider joining a skiing or cross-country skiing team. Colorado schools are renowned for their strong skiing teams due to the state's mountainous regions and love for winter sports.
Similarly, track and field are notable in Colorado, often attracting large student participation and audience interest in the Spring. Soccer also has solid participation rates in both the Fall and Spring, depending on whether you're considering a girls' or boys' team.
Remember that the best sport for you will depend on your personal interests and skills rather than just popularity. Joining a sport should be about enjoyment and personal growth, so don't be afraid to try something new or less mainstream if it intrigues you. Welcome to Colorado!
