Interscholastic sports participation numbers in Hawaiʻi (and the U.S.) are on the rise. For the 8th consecutive year, the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) reports an increase in sport participation in virtually every interscholastic sport that is played in Hawaiʻi – by boys and girls alike. In concert with the rise in participation rates has been a corresponding increase in the visibility and status of high school sport, and a shift in expectations, pressures, and risks that accompany the experience.
