As far as girls programs go...
Minnesota just began a girls high school league.  The eastern prep schools have
a league.  There are a few public schools in N.E. with leagues.  NY has quite a
few girls programs which AREN'T affiliated with High schools.  The Troy Area and
Glens Falls area just recently added programs.  There are some descent travel
programs in Michigan.  And I am sure there are many more areas I missed...
